February 13, 2025- Comedian Samay Raina’s upcoming stand-up shows in Gujarat have reportedly been canceled following massive backlash over controversial remarks made by panellists on his YouTube reality show, India’s Got Latent. The Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) on Wednesday claimed that tickets for his April performances were no longer available on BookMyShow.

The controversy erupted after social media influencer Ranveer Allahbadia, popularly known as ‘BeerBiceps,’ made remarks about parents and sex on Raina’s show. The clip went viral on Monday, triggering widespread criticism and multiple police complaints in Mumbai and Guwahati.

According to Gujarat VHP spokesperson Hitendrasinh Rajput, Raina was scheduled to perform in Surat on April 17, Vadodara on April 18, and Ahmedabad on April 19 and 20.

It appears all these four shows have been canceled due to public outrage against him in Gujarat. Though tickets for these shows were available till Wednesday morning on BookMyShow, they now seem to have been removed from the portal,”claimed Rajput.

As of now, neither Raina nor the ticketing platform has officially commented on the reported cancellations.
