Samay Raina's lawyer on why they are keeping a close watch on India's Got Latent 2

Samay Raina, a comedian involved in a previous controversy over remarks about people with disabilities, is again under scrutiny due to comments made during a new season of 'India's Got Latent 2.' His lawyer, Lavin Hirani, explained that the legal team is reviewing the content of the new season without attempting to sanitize the show or restrict creative freedom. The legal review comes after the Supreme Court dismissed criminal charges against Raina and others in a prior case, citing their efforts to raise awareness and funds for people with disabilities. Hirani emphasized that the original petition was aimed at establishing guidelines for depicting people with disabilities in media rather than punishing comedians. The legal team has shifted focus toward promoting awareness about spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) and broader issues related to disability rights.
