Social media influencer and content creator Apoorva Mukhija has found herself in the midst of controversy following her participation in a recent episode of Samay Raina's show India's Got Latent, alongside Ranveer Allahbadia. The trio—Apoorva, Samay, and Ranveer—has been booked by authorities for making obscene and inappropriate remarks during the show, which has since gone viral.

Controversial comments spark outrage

The controversy erupted after Ranveer Allahbadia made a highly objectionable remark about parents engaging in intimate activities. During the show, he asked a contestant, "Would you rather watch your parents have sex for the rest of your life or join in once to stop it forever?" Instead of condemning the comment, Apoorva and Samay laughed and contributed further to the discussion. Adding to the controversy, Apoorva was also seen asking a contestant if he had ever seen a vagina, which many found offensive and inappropriate.
