Samay Raina’s Funny Banter With Paps Steals Spotlight After ‘India’s Got Latent’ Row
In his first public appearance since the controversy, comedian Samay Raina had a light-hearted exchange with paparazzi, cracking jokes and making faces that left everyone laughing.

Stand-up comedian Samay Raina has stepped out in public for the first time after being caught in the middle of the ‘India’s Got Latent’ controversy. He was recently seen at the web series Hai Junoon screening in Mumbai, casually dressed in a blue jersey with headphones hanging around his neck. Fans were quick to spot him, and he happily posed for selfies and waved at them, flashing his signature warm smile.
Paparazzi Ask About His Comeback – Samay Responds With Humour
While Samay was leaving the event, one paparazzo shouted, “Bhai, show wapis kab aa raha hai?” (Bro, when is the show coming back?) Samay simply laughed and replied, “Arey…”, before his friend pulled him away from the cameras. As he walked off, he looked back and smiled at the photographer.
Another pap tried to get his opinion on Hai Junoon, but before he could answer, his friend stepped in again to escort him away. Still, Samay managed to deliver a quick joke. He said, “I haven’t watched the series. I went out for a workout in a gym. This is my friend, and I just came in with him. I have no idea what you are talking about.” When someone finally told him the name of the web series, Samay made a funny face, which is now going viral on social media. Fans are loving this side of him again. One fan commented, “Samay is so cute and hilarious,” while another wrote, “So happy to see Samay smiling again.”
Samay Raina Announces His Comeback Tour
Earlier the same day, Samay took to Instagram and officially announced his comeback tour. He revealed that he would perform in Europe, the UK, Australia, and New Zealand, starting June 5 in Köln (Germany) and ending July 20 in Sydney.
What makes this tour even more exciting is that Samay hinted at including parts of the ‘India’s Got Latent’ controversy in his set. He posted:
“The most testing time of my life makes for the best comedy. See you on the tour.”
This tour marks a fresh start for the comedian, who kept a low profile following the legal issues and backlash.
What Happened in the ‘India’s Got Latent’ Case?
The trouble began when Samay Raina and others including Apoorva Mukhija, Ashish Chanchlani, and Ranveer Allahbadia were booked in an FIR related to their YouTube show India’s Got Latent, a parody take on India’s Got Talent.
The complaint stated that the group had promoted obscenity and made sexually explicit remarks during the show, which was accessible to the general public. The controversy hit the roof when Ranveer Allahbadia’s comments about ‘sex with parents’ sparked massive online outrage.
