The post follows closely after the Supreme Court provided Allahbadia with substantial relief regarding the outrage over his comments on the show India’s Got Latent, which is hosted by comedian Samay Raina. The court directed the release of his passport, previously confiscated, so that he could resume traveling abroad for business. After the verdict, Allahbadia shared an airport update with his suitcase, stating, “Passport mil gaya guys,” along with a printout of the Supreme Court directive. Another photograph saw him unwinding in business class.
The IGL Controversy
The controversy has been traced to February when Allahbadia featured on India’s Got Latent alongside social media personalities Apoorva Mukhija and Ashish Chanchlani. One comment he made on the episode at first raised laughter among visitors and spectators but eventually instigated public fury on social media as well as political leaders. Various FIRs had later been registered against people engaged in the show.
In response to the outrage, Allahbadia made a public apology in a video post on X, saying, “The comment was not appropriate, and it wasn’t even funny.” He also sent in a formal apology to the National Commission for Women.
