Recently, Ashish joined Prakhar Gupta’s podcast, and noted that the outrage wasn’t confined to just their episode, but had been simmering for quite some time. Ashish shared that the episode was filmed in November and released in February, adding that he hadn’t anticipated the backlash would escalate to such an extent.
“All of us who were on that show, before us too, a lot of obscene things had already happened on it. The anger that was building against Latent burst on our episode, that’s what I believe. Things had been happening earlier too, and there had already been controversy… I was shooting for Ekaki. In the evening, when I finished, my brother told me that a Latent clip had exploded on X. I didn’t pay much attention at first. I thought Ranveer would be targeted, I didn’t expect this.”
Ashish confessed that he even called Ranveer the next day, and told him things might get dangerous. Following this, Ranveer had assured Ashish that they went there to joke and have fun. However, he wasn’t entirely comfortable with his own presence in the episode.Ashish admitted that he wasn’t particularly happy with the episode, as he didn’t contribute much. He shared that he had only attended because of Samay and, although he enjoyed being there, he felt he was too quiet and hadn’t given his best. He even felt at one point that it might have been better if his portion hadn’t made it to the final cut. He added that he never anticipated things would escalate the way they did, and when the controversy broke, he felt relieved that he had remained largely silent.
