Overview
- Raina’s 1-hour-21-minute YouTube special, which premiered Tuesday, lays out his account of the backlash and shows him in tears as he describes the strain on his family and colleagues.
- He says guest Ranveer Allahbadia repeated the explicit “parents” question eight times, and he left one instance in the final cut after removing the rest.
- Raina says he deleted all India’s Got Latent episodes under pressure and claims Mumbai Police arrested his editor after he first refused to take them down.
- He describes severe personal fallout, saying he nearly lost Rs 8 crore and entered a state he called psychosis during waves of FIRs, threats and venue action.
- The release has triggered fresh reaction, with actor Mukesh Khanna posting a harsh Instagram rebuke on Thursday, while Raina signals the show’s return by hinting at a Season 2 against the backdrop of the 2025 legal complaints, NCW scrutiny and YouTube removals.
