When Kanan Gill made same joke as Ranveer Allahbadia

Taking to Instagram, cin_a_mates1, shared the brief clip. The video is reportedly from 2015, when Jackky Bhagnani and Lauren Gottlieb promoted their film, Welcome to Karachi, on Kanan’s show. However, HT couldn’t verify the same.

In the video, Kanan said, “Would you rather watch your parents have sex every day for the rest of your life or join in once to stop it?” At this, both Jackky and Lauren started laughing. The video ended with Kanan saying, “You have to answer it, guys.”

Ranveer Allahbadia cracked the same joke on India’s Got Latent’s latest episode, leading to widespread criticism and even police complaints alleging obscenity. Samay Raina, the show’s host, deleted all episodes of the show from YouTube after the backlash.

What internet has to say about this

Reacting to the video, a person said, “Well 2015 us were more chill than 2025 us.” “Internet was not cheap and those who had internet had better things to do than just waste your data on these things,” read a comment. An Instagram user said, “Audience were not so vanilla back then.” Another person said, “Coz nobody knew this show in 2015 & Samay Raina’s show is quite popular amongst people in their teenage & 20s.”

A fan said, “See, that’s what I feel… they are blowing things out of proportion… @ranveerallahbadia has already apologised… the episodes from that show have been deleted- what more is required?” A social media user said, “Now i want to know, who’s the real og creator of this question !!!”
