The popular reality show Laughter Chefs Unlimited Entertainment Season 3 has landed in hot water following a controversial segment in its recent Eid special episode. A viral clip featuring actor Samarth Jurel and digital star Jannat Zubair has triggered a wave of criticism from viewers, who have labeled Samarth’s behavior as “creepy” and “inappropriate.”
In the video, Samarth is seen teasing and looking at Jannat’s leg while the contestants were filming a segment on the floor. Fans were quick to point out that Jannat appeared visibly uncomfortable and distressed by the interaction, despite the show’s attempt to frame it as lighthearted flirting. The backlash has intensified as viewers noted that Jannat’s mother was present on the set during the incident, leading to further outrage over the “hostile environment” created in the name of entertainment.
The controversy has sparked a broader debate about the “forced love-angle” scripts allegedly pushed by the show’s creative team. Social media users have slammed the makers for promoting “cringe and disgusting behavior” between Samarth, Abhishek Kumar, and Jannat to boost ratings.
Many fans have tagged the channel and the show’s producers, demanding accountability for allowing such “filthy behavior” to be aired. While Samarth and Jannat have shared a playful rapport on the show in the past—often teased by fellow contestant Aly Goni—this latest incident has crossed a line for many. As the criticism continues to mount, netizens are calling for the “scripted romance” to be scrapped, urging the show to return to its original focus on cooking and genuine comedy rather than manufactured and uncomfortable chemistry.
