A complaint has been filed against casting director Mukesh Chhabra and Netflix India over an alleged remark made during an episode of Samay Raina's show India's Got Latent 2. The complainant, Anurag Shrivastav, said he watched the episode on Netflix from a Mumbai hotel room on September 22. The episode featured Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Bhuvan Bam, Mukesh Chhabra, comedian Kaustubh Agarwal and host Samay Raina as panellists.
The complaint alleges that Chhabra was heard saying a sexually suggestive remark. It calls the language inappropriate and questions how Netflix India cleared the content for streaming. The complaint seeks an inquiry into Netflix's content approval process and the role of content chief Monika Shergill. However, the complaint itself states the claim needs verification from the original unedited recording. There is no independent confirmation of the remark or its context.
India's Got Latent faced a previous controversy in February 2025 after Ranveer Allahbadia's remarks about parents and sex triggered backlash. The first season was removed from Samay Raina's YouTube channel after that incident. The latest complaint remains an allegation requiring verification before any action.
Indian Opinion Analysis
NDTV's coverage leads with the complaint's call for an inquiry into Netflix's approval process and notes the lack of verification, framing it as an unproven allegation. M9 News uses a question-mark headline and terms like 'vulgar remark' and 'legal trouble', adopting a sensationalist tone. Both outlets report the same facts, but M9 News emphasises the controversy angle, while NDTV stresses the unverified status. A balanced reading notes the complaint raises valid questions about content oversight, but no evidence has been produced. The complainant must submit the unedited recording for verification.
