YouTuber Samay Raina appears before NCW months after repeated summons over remarks on 'India's Got Latent'
His appearance before the panel follows repeated summonses issued since February. Raina and others did not attend the original hearing on February 17, citing travel and security-related constraints.
The NCW later rescheduled the hearing, giving them time to return to India and appear in person.
The controversy erupted after clips from India's Got Latent, a comedy-based YouTube talent show, went viral earlier this year, leading to a backlash for allegedly making light of rape and objectifying women.
Following this, an FIR was lodged by the Maharashtra Cyber Cell and the NCW took suo motu cognisance of the issue.
The YouTube series was taken down in February, and Raina issued a public apology, saying he regretted any unintended harm caused.
In the weeks that followed, Raina announced a temporary break and later launched an international comedy tour, a reason he cited for his non-appearance before the commission.

Kajol cheers for daughter Nysa Devgan as she graduates, netizens say ‘Anjali from K3G energy' — WATCH
Bollywood couple Kajol and Ajay Devgn's daughter Nysa Devgan is now a graduate. The star kid attended the Glion Institute of Higher Education in Montreux, Switzerland. A clip from her graduation ceremony has surfaced online on Saturday as Kajol attended her daughter's graduation and cheered loudly for her 'baby.' Nysa's graduation ceremony was telecast live on YouTube. A clip from the live session has surfaced online, featuring Nysa. Dressed in the traditional graduation robe over a lilac dress, she was spotted smiling as she walked onto the stage to receive her degree from her teachers. While some are heard cheering for her, it was Kajol who was the loudest of all. Kajol is heard screaming, "Come on baby." Even Nysa's teachers couldn't resist from passing a giggle at Kajol's excitement. Sharing the video on X, formerly Twitter, someone wrote, "Congratulations Nysa!!! (In the chaos of 100s I can actually hear Kajol's "C'mon babyyyy!!" So clearly )." Kajol's reaction immediately reminded fans of her character Anjali from Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham. 'She's truly the real life anjali. 'haaye… meri beti' (sic)," commented a fan. Another added, 'This is so Anjali from K3g energy.' Someone also said, 'It's the Anjali in her.' It is not known if Ajay Devgn joined Kajol and Nysa at their daughter's graduation. The Raid 2 actor is yet to post about Nysa's graduation. Nysa Devgan previously studied in Singapore at the United World College of South East Asia, before moving to Switzerland to pursue her undergraduate degree. While Nysa is Ajay and Kajol's first child, they also have a son, Yug Devgan. Yug is currently completing his school. Meanwhile, it is not certain if Nysa will make her debut in Bollywood after finishing her graduation. Kajol and Ajay have repeatedly stated that Nysa is not interested in joining the industry as of yet. Talking about Nysa, recently Kajol told Zoom: 'When I look at her, I feel, my God, she is the woman we all want to be. It is this amazing quality which today's girls have that they expect to be treated well. They expect to be treated with the same dignity. They expect good manners. If you are not there, they call you out.' "I am very proud of her. I have said that to her as well. I am proud of the fact that she carries herself with so much dignity and grace. I think it is always a test of your character when you are faced with uncomfortable situations, and how you react to them. It shows your true mettle. I am proud of my upbringing and my daughter," the actor also said.

Farah Responds to the Love Dilip's Story: More Than Just a Viral Face Filmmaker and choreographer Farah Khan is being widely appreciated for her popular food vlogs featuring her long-time cook, Dilip. What started as a casual cooking series has now turned into a celebrated collaboration, earning praise from fans, celebrities, and social media personalities. The series, hosted on Farah's YouTube channel, has brought attention not only to Dilip's culinary skills but also to Farah's unfiltered, humorous hosting style and her gesture of spotlighting homegrown social media personality Freddy Birdy reviewed the show on his Instagram handle, calling Farah a 'YouTube conqueror.' He affectionately referred to the series as an example of 'domestic nepotism,' but clarified that he used the term in an endearing way. According to him, Dilip is probably Farah's greatest discovery since she launched Deepika Padukone's acting career. He noted that Dilip's rise to fame includes being recognised by paparazzi and vacationing in the Maldives—clear signs of his growing was visibly touched by the appreciation. She responded to Freddy's post by saying it was the only review that truly mattered to her and promised him a roast chicken as a thank-you gesture. She expressed her gratitude on behalf of herself and Dilip, saying the review had made her sentiment was echoed by many. Hrithik Roshan's mother, Pinkie Roshan, also praised Farah, mentioning how her humour likely stems from her mother. An actor who worked with Farah on a past project recalled how the filmmaker's kindness extended even during chaotic shooting schedules, calling her down-to-earth and caring in a way that left a lasting the screen, Farah has taken steps to ensure Dilip's family also benefits from his rising fame. On one of the episodes, she revealed that she is funding English-medium education for Dilip's children. One of his children has even received a culinary diploma, supported by Farah, to help them pursue careers in professional kitchens rather than as domestic show's charm lies in its simple format—Dilip cooking while Farah chats with celebrity guests. Past episodes have featured well-known names from the entertainment industry, including Kajol, Raveena Tandon, Sonali Bendre, Vijay Varma, Kabir Khan, Malaika Arora, and others. Viewers have praised the show for its relatable tone, warm interactions, and feel-good vibe.
