Samay Raina Faces Fresh Backlash as Old 'India's Got Latent' Joke Resurfaces on Social Media
Samay Raina: Samay Raina's show "India's Got Latent" has once again become embroiled in controversy, and this time, the controversial statement comes from none other than Samay Raina himself. Find out what the whole matter is.
Comedy artist Samay Raina is once again under controversy. This time, a video taken by him from 2024 is being widely shared on social media and the viewers are not happy with it.
The video was taken during the performance of "India's Got Latent" program. During one such episode, a girl enters the stage with her boyfriend but walks away midway. Her boyfriend clarifies that her father suffered from a minor heart attack.
During this moment, Samay Raina made a joke that "if he gives her a shoulder, he will get a head." People found his joke hilarious but after some time they are not finding it funny anymore.
nothing difference between “kandha degi toh head degi” and 370 biryani mentality. 🤢 https://t.co/GBRGKQ4vVP — 𝓐. (@ilyliyx) June 28, 2026
As soon as the video went viral again, people reacted strongly to it. One user wrote, "You will only give me your head if I give you my shoulder... This is not a joke. This is like the '370 rupees worth of biryani' statement, where a person expects a body in exchange for something."
Another user said, "Treating someone dinner or providing emotional support doesn't mean you can claim ownership of their body. These days, wrong thinking is being justified in the name of comedy." Some even said that such statements promote negative thinking against women in society.
Recently, another controversy erupted when a young man said that he treated a date to 370 rupees worth of biryani, so he should get some "return." This statement caused a lot of uproar, and the young man had to apologize. Now, people are linking this old joke of Samay Raina to the same sentiment.
