Mika Singh reacts on India’s Got Talent controversy

Singer Mika Singh recently weighed in on the India’s Got Talent controversy involving comedian Samay Raina and podcaster Ranveer Allahbadia. In a recent interview, he discussed where they went wrong and also said how the two could not manage success.

While talking to Pinvilla, Singh shared his views on the controversy where Allahbadia’s remarks on ‘parental-sex’ drew widespread criticism.

“I have no personal issues with Samay Raina; he is a sweet guy. A lot of people have told me he is my huge fan and a great musician too. Ranveer is also very nice. He is a gracious and poised human being, but his biggest mistake was that he shouldn’t have gone on the show. Their shows are very different. Ranveer’s show is very decent and respectful. Samay’s show has a different audience. If he had not gone there, this issue wouldn’t have happened,” the Jugni singer said.

He added how both Raina and Allahbadia should be cautious about what



they say as they influence the youth of India who follow them and their work.

“More vulgar things have been spoken about on Samay’s show, and if you say cheap things like this in a country like India, it will be hurtful. Just because Samay has succeeded, a lot of people want to be like him, but that’s wrong. Both Samay and Ranveer are successful, but they should also set the right example. You need to control the youth when you have such a huge influence,” Mika said.

In the same interview, the singer requested people to forgive the two as they ‘couldn’t manage success.’ “I don’t have anything against them, and their families should not be dragged into this. Ban the artiste for some time. With this, lots of other influencers have also learned a lesson that they cannot be talking rubbish. They are kids who became successful, so I urge people to forgive them. Both are well educated and well-spoken, just that they couldn’t manage the success,” he concluded.
