The host of India's Got Latent shared his first post since February, when his show was mired in controversy over allegations of vulgarity.

Trouble for Samay began when he was summoned before the police and named in an FIR in connection with the case against his YouTube show.

One such photograph featured Samay raising a toast with Apoorva Mukhija, also knows as The Rebel Kid, who was named in the FIR alongside him.
