Ajaz Khan has accused Samay Raina’s India’s Got Latent of being ‘scripted’
Samay Raina’s India’s Got Latent often makes headlines for several controversies. Former Bigg Boss contestant Ajaz Khan has now shared a video featuring Rajesh Mishra from Prayagraj, who has alleged that he performed on Samay Raina’s show and even won the prize, but was neither featured nor given the entire amount.
Ajaz and Rajesh further alleged that while it has been claimed that winners get ₹1 lakh, the reality is that they were given only around ₹35,000, and if there is more than one winner, then the prize money is divided among them.
“Public ko dikha raha hai 1 lakh, tu gareebo ko de raha hai, naye comedians ko de raha hai aur brands se itna paisa le raha hai tu… Samay Raina gaali deke sammaan paa raha hai. Ye show scripted hai, pura fixed hai aur ye show mein original talent nahi dikhaya jaayega kabhi bhi. Kyunki original talent se inn sabki g**** phatti hai,” Ajaz said in the video.
Ajaz further added, “Tu Samay hai aur hum Pralay hai,” and urged RSS and other Hindu organisations to support Rajesh and said, “Samay Raina ka encounter karo.”
Ajaz, while sharing the video, captioned, “Prayagraj, UP se Rajesh Kumar Mishra mere paas madad ke liye aaye. Rajesh ka kehna hai ki unhone Samay Raina ke show mein lagbhag 40 minute stage par perform kiya. Unhe inaam ki raashi mili, lekin na unhe winner ghoshit kiya gaya aur na hi unka episode dikhaya gaya.”
“Samay Raina aur show ki team se mera sawaal hai: Rajesh ki performance ka episode kyun nahi dikhaya gaya? Aur inaam dene ke baad unhe winner kyun nahi ghoshit kiya gaya? Rajesh ko in sawaalon ka saaf jawab milna chahiye. UP ke Mukhyamantri ji se bhi meri guzarish hai ki Prayagraj ke is kalakaar ki baat suni jaaye. Agar uske saath na-insaafi hui hai, toh use insaaf dilaya jaaye,” he added.
The allegations made by Ajaz and Rajesh have not been independently verified by News18. It also remains unclear from their claims whether Rajesh’s performance was recorded, edited out, or otherwise excluded from a released episode.
India’s Got Latent is no stranger to controversies. In February 2025, content creator and podcaster Ranveer Allahbadia faced massive backlash after his remarks about parents and sex during one of the episodes of season one.
