Dhruv Rathee joined the India's Got Latent controversy on Monday evening — contending that the show was ‘contributing the moral decay of society’.

“What is being done today in the name of dank comedy is pure nonsense. The only purpose is to shock and disgust audiences for views, which is having a disastrous impact on the moral development of our youth. However, calling for any government bans for this is not the solution as it may usher in a harsh censorship regime. Instead, we need to pressurize content creators to make better content,” he wrote on X.
