Comedian Samay Raina recently returned to the limelight with his show Samay Raina Still Alive. In the special show, Samay spoke at length about the aftermath of India’s Got Latent controversy last year. During his live show, Samay had also mentioned, “Everyone was ready to devour us, politicians, celebrities, Sunil Pal…” Now, once again, Samay has spoken at length about Sunil. He called the comedian ‘frustrated’ and ‘insecure’ during an interview with Chalchitra Talks.
Samay Raina on Sunil Pal
During the interview with Chalchitra Talks, Samay was shown a photo of Sunil Pal and asked to share his views on the comedian. Commenting on Sunil Pal, Samay said, “I don’t think about Sunil Pal. One thing I learned very early on in my life is that if somebody is saying shit about others, they are going through something. I don’t feel offended; in fact, it’s better if he is talking about me. Something is bothering him, some insecurity, that man is not having mental peace, and I feel bad for him. A person who has peace of mind doesn’t enjoy disrupting another’s peace of mind. There is some frustration, maybe, I don’t know him as a person, I have nothing against him. Sunil Pal was an iconic character, although Raju Shrivastav was better.”
Samay further added, “People always talk badly about you when they have insecurity and are not going through something good. Everyone who publicly slammed us during the latent controversy are all those frustrated people. Did you see Kapil Sharma say anything against us? Or did any good actor react to this? If they wanted, a lot of people could have protested, but nobody who was at mental peace came; it was only the frustrated ones who decided to target us.”
During the Latent controversy last year, Sunil Pal had said, “I don’t count those people as comedians whose content is cheap and dirty. They are as good as terrorists; they should be ashamed.” In another interview, Sunil had said, “You make abusive jokes and expect people to say wow? If their content is good, I would still be okay, but in your performance, a man or woman abuses, talks in a bad way, and they get millions of views, how is society accepting this? I openly challenge them to come live on stage with me, the audience will laugh more on my jokes.”
Samay Raina on collaborating with Ranveer Allahbadia

He even announced that he will be breaking the internet on 3rd May with a new announcement. On Tuesday, Colors TV also dropped a cryptic post about working with Samay Raina.
Recently, when Ranveer Allahbadia was asked by a paparazzi about Samay Raina, the content creator chose to ignore the question and asked, ‘Kaun Samay?’ Meanwhile, Mukesh Khanna has also taken offense over Samay’s remarks against him. The Shaktimaan actor also said that Samay should not be allowed to return with a new season of India’s Got Latent.
