Samay Raina Makes First Appearance After Hinting At India's Got Latent Return, Has THIS To Say
Last Updated:
Samay Raina's candid moment with paparazzi has gone viral across social media.
Samay Raina was recently embroiled in controversy after Ranveer Allahbadia's comment on his show, India's Got Latent, sparked massive backlash. Samay was not only in legal trouble but also had to shut down his YouTube show. As the legal row is slowly dying down, the comedian hinted that the show might return after some time. Samay has now made his first public appearance after teasing the show's return, and he looked happy and calm.
Samay Raina was seen in a blue tee with checkered pants, flaunting a comfy look for the night. As paparazzi surrounded the comedian for a photo, he asked them to join him instead of taking his pictures. The comedian then posed for the shutterbugs and said, 'Main na awkward ho jaata hoon thoda, yaar." Have a look here:
While Samay Raina is still navigating ongoing legal proceedings, he is slowly returning to the comedy stage and the public eye. In a recent promotional video for Bold Care — a sexual wellness brand co-owned by actor Ranveer Singh — he was asked by podcaster Raj Shamani if India's Got Latent would ever return.
With his trademark wit, Samay replied, 'Woh toh ab Samay hee bata payega. Main nahi, time. Time is the best healer," playing on the double meaning of his name and the Hindi word for 'time." He added with a smile, 'Good things take time." Whether it was a subtle tease or a serious hint, fans are already talking about the possibility of a comeback.
He also recently announced a new international tour that will take him across Europe, the UK, Australia, and New Zealand. Taking to Instagram recently, Samay shared the tour dates—starting in Cologne on June 5 and ending in Sydney on July 20.
In one of his Instagram stories, Samay hinted that his new set will touch on the India's Got Latent controversy, suggesting he's ready to turn the tough chapter into comedy. 'The most testing time of my life makes for the best comedy. See you on the tour," he wrote. The announcement sparked huge excitement, so much so that his ticketing website briefly crashed due to the surge in traffic.

Train Your Core Like Malaika Arora: Quick Lower Abs Workout Explained
Last Updated: Malaika Arora stays dedicated to fitness and recently shared a lower abs workout, encouraging fans to train their core with leg lifts. Malaika Arora stands out as a celebrity who truly practices what she preaches—maintaining a consistent fitness routine without fail. She frequently offers her followers a peek into her workout sessions, motivating them to prioritise their health and embrace an active lifestyle. Whether it's an early morning workout or an intense gym day, Malaika remains dedicated and never misses a session. Recently, Malaika shared an Instagram post featuring a workout specifically designed to sculpt the lower abs quickly. She captioned it, 'Your core is your power center—train it like it matters," and recommended performing two sets of thirty leg lifts each. Place your palms facing down, tucking your hands just beneath your glutes to create a small support or 'shelf" that eases the leg raise. Press your lower back firmly into the floor or mat throughout the exercise to avoid injury. Arching your back can cause strain. Keep your chin slightly tucked and lower your legs slowly toward the floor, ideally stopping a few inches above it. You may keep your neck neutral (looking up) if more comfortable, but tucking your chin helps maintain spinal alignment. Lower your legs only as far as you can without letting your lower back lift off the floor. If you can't raise your legs back up after lowering them, lift them less next time. Engage your core as you lift your legs back up to the starting position. Breathe naturally—inhale while lowering, exhale while lifting—or find a rhythm that suits you, but avoid holding your breath. Benefits of Leg Raises Helps reduce fat around the lower abdomen and legs Strengthens and tones muscles in the abdomen and legs Targets and sculpts the lower abdominal muscles effectively Engages hamstrings, calf muscles and glutes for overall leg strength Can be performed comfortably even while lying down in bed Enhances focus and mental concentration Malaika's workout is a simple yet powerful move that anyone can incorporate into their fitness routine to build a strong core and toned lower body.

Video: Woman Books Ola Bike Ride For 180 Metres, Reason Leaves Internet Amused
In a bizarre incident that's gone viral, a woman booked an Ola Bike ride for a mere 180 metres- just to avoid a pack of street dogs. The short video was recorded and shared on Instagram by the bike rider himself. In the clip, the driver arrives at the pickup point and asks the woman for the one-time password (OTP). After entering it, he glances at the map and notices that her drop location is just 180 metres away. Puzzled, he asks the woman whether she has selected the right drop location since it was just a short distance away. The woman confirms she booked the ride and that the distance is accurate. The Ola driver then asks the passenger why she opted for such a short ride. To this, the woman explains that she is scared of the street dogs in the area and didn't want to risk walking past them. The rider, amused but professional, drops the woman at her destination and ends the trip. At the end of the video, the app shows that the customer had to pay only Rs 19. View this post on Instagram A post shared by ROHIT VLOGSTER (@rohitvlogster) Since being shared, the video has gone viral, garnering 7 million views and over 197,000 likes. Instagram users flooded the comments section with various reactions. While some responded with laughing emojis, others thanked the driver for helping the woman feel safe. "Thank you brother for helping a girl feel safe," wrote one user. "It is better to give 19 rupees than to get injected," commented another. "She is Right,, 19 rs its not big deal,, if dog bite, it will cost injury / pain/ time/ 1900," wrote a third user. Some users also joked with the meme term "Techologia", a humorous twist on the word for technology, while others pointed out the absence of any dog visible in the video. "Ek bhi dog toh dikha nahi (Not a single dog was seen?)", asked one user.
