‘Ranveer Allahabadia kuch bhi bol dete hai': Ashish Chanchalani on India's Got Latent row, says police came to him first as Samay Raina, Apoorva Mukhija couldn't be found
Samay Raina found himself at the centre of a major controversy after YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia's inappropriate remark on India's Got Latent went viral, sparking widespread outrage and leading to multiple FIRs. In a recent interaction, Ashish Chanchlani, who was a panelist on the infamous episode, opened up about the aftermath of the controversy and revealed how he became the first person the police approached, as the other panelists were either out of town or could not be located. Speaking to Faridoon Shahryar about that tumultuous period, Ashish recalled, 'So many things happened, those two months were turmoil and it was like this for everyone who was on the show. At that time, Samay was in Vancouver, they were not able to find Apoorva and she was scared also, Ranveer (Ranveer Allahbadia) also vanished, so only I was left in Bandra and the police knew where I live, so they came to me first and I had to record my statements with the police.' Ashish expressed his frustration while reflecting on how serious the matter was. 'It might have been a clickbait, a reel for many people, but to be in front of the police and the government officials, it's very serious,' he said. When asked why he was questioned despite not making any controversial remarks, he explained, 'People will say that you didn't do anything on the show, but when you sit in front of the police and every word that you say is converted into a transcript then you realise how careful you have to be. I didn't even say anything on the show. I just laughed in one part of the show, and even that was taken into account.' He further revealed that the authorities scrutinised every reaction, including his laughter, which he had to justify in detail. 'I had to explain to them why I laughed because there were some inside jokes going on with Samay and also, I was laughing at Ranveer's stupidity, not at the comment that he made.' Addressing Ranveer's controversial remark that triggered the outrage, Ashish said, 'I know Ranveer from last seven years. I know that he says anything in fun and games.' He added, 'It was difficult for me, but it was very difficult for Samay, Apoorva and others.' Following the controversy, all episodes of India's Got Latent were removed from YouTube. The Supreme Court, in a recent order, even banned Allahbadia from posting content on social media, before later revoking the ban.

He shared, 'I say it on the first track of Lost Americana, where I said, 'All the pages are blank until my life goes to shit. I know I do that on purpose just to write again.''

I came out, the world was very loud about me and my personal business.' He called out the media for the false reports, explaining, 'Ironically, neither me or Megan have said anything.

Meet Harry Gill, the fan who took a stunning one-handed catch while holding two vodka cans in the other
Harry Gill takes a one-handed stunner during Australia vs South Africa first T20I match in Darwin. (Screengrab) Like any other spectator, Harry Gill was enjoying his evening, watching international cricket return to Darwin after 17 years, with a couple of vodka cans in hand. Little did he know that he would end up becoming a celebrity in his hometown. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! In the 12th over of Australia's innings against South Africa, Tim David hammered a flat six into the crowd, where Gill pulled off a one-handed stunner with his left hand while holding both drinks in his right — without spilling a drop. 'The lemonade ones are bloody good. I've got a bit of a hangover this morning,' Gill was quoted as saying by The Age. 'It just stuck. My hand is a bit sore this morning but, yeah, happy with it. My phone is blowing up,' said the 26-year-old pilot from Darwin. Gill's grab has been compared to the famous crowd catch taken by Channel Nine cameraman Tony Fox in 1987, when Ian Botham launched Simon O'Donnell down the ground for six. Fox took it with both hands — cigarette in mouth. Gill admitted his dad had sent him the clip, but he isn't putting himself in the same league. Poll Was Harry Gill's catch more impressive than the famous catch by Tony Fox in 1987? Yes, definitely! No, Tony Fox's catch was iconic. Both were amazing in their own right. 'His is so much cooler, bro,' Gill said. 'I wish I had a durry [cigarette] in my mouth so I could have done that.
