The IGL row started in February 2025 after YouTuber, Ranveer Allahbadia's crass remarks on parental intimacy. Apoorva’s vulgar comment on the show further fuelled the controversy. YouTuber, Ashish Chanchlani, and comedian, Jaspreet Singh were among the other panellists.

Apoorva, too, appeared at Khar police station after Mumbai police called her to record her statement. The Assam police also registered a case of obscenity against Samay, Apoorva, Ranveer and the others present in the controversial episode.
