Popular YouTuber Ashish Chanchlani recently became emotional in his first video following the controversy surrounding the show India’s Got Latent. Chanchlani, who was on the panel alongside Ranveer Allahbadia, Samay Raina, and Apoorva Mukhija, found himself caught in the storm after Allahbadia’s remarks on 'parental sex' sparked outrage.
In a heartfelt message to his fans, Chanchlani acknowledged the difficult time he was facing and reassured them of his determination to push forward.
"Hello doston, kaise ho aap log? I know, maine aapke messages padhe hain. Chal raha hai. Maine socha story pe baat kar lun, lekin samajh nahi aa raha kya kahun. Lad lenge situation se. Dekhe hain tough times, isse bhi kuch naya seekh lenge" (Hello, friends! How are you all? I have read your messages—I know what’s going on. I thought of addressing you through my story, but I don’t know what to say. We’ll fight through this situation; we’ve seen tough times before and will learn something new from this as well), he said.
He also requested his fans to keep him and his family in their prayers.
"Main aap sabse bas yahi request karta hoon ki meri family aur mujhe apni prayers mein rakhna. Jab bhi main wapas aaun, mera kaam thoda idhar-udhar ho gaya hoga, lekin tab bhi support karna" (I just request you all to keep my family and me in your prayers. Whenever I return, my work might be a bit all over the place, but still, keep supporting me)," he added.
Despite the turmoil, Chanchlani assured his followers of his continued dedication to his craft. “I will work hard, as I have always worked hard. Bas dhyan rakhiye sab log apna” (Everyone, please take care of yourselves).
He captioned the video: "Take care, everyone. Thanks for being there."
The controversy erupted following Ranveer Allahbadia’s remarks on the show, which led to multiple FIRs being filed against him across Maharashtra, Rajasthan, and Assam. The Supreme Court initially barred him from airing his podcast while granting interim protection from arrest. However, in a recent relief, the court dismissed a plea seeking to cancel his podcast permanently. While allowing him to resume, the court reminded him that freedom of speech comes with limitations, stating that “using foul language is not humour.”
