Samay Raina dresses up as a groom, asks audience to ‘stop being so sensitive' in video with Krsna and Seedhe Maut after India's Got Latent controversy. Watch
The song starts with an audio byte of Samay from the controversial show India's Got Latent, which got shut down and removed from YouTube after it received a lot of backlash for jokes that were deemed inappropriate and vulgar. Encore ABJ, who is part of the duo Seedhe Maut, starts the song off with his verse that talks about the difference in levels of comedy that is allowed in India and the West. He points out in one of the bars that while the foreign comedians can joke about anything, Indians are too busy fighting within themselves. In the video Samay is dressed as a groom, and Krsna, Encore and Calm are all three dressed as band players from an Indian wedding. Even the name of the band that is performing at the wedding is named 'Sensitive Band.'

The trio all together sing 'Stop being so sensitive' in the chorus section while Samay dances to drum beats similar to what you hear at a wedding. The second verse is helmed by Calm, who alleges that there are many more important things that the government and authorities should be working on rather than handing out bans and citations to people speaking their minds. Krsna comes into the song posing as a news anchor and says that many news organisations would rather debate on trivial issues than actually report something worthwhile. He doubles down and states that these organisations are against the idea of true freedom, while Samay can be seen with his mouth taped shut.
All four men use the music video to take jabs at the authorities for their actions regarding the India's Got Latent row. The controversy began when famous podcast host Ranveer Allahbadia asked a contestant a question which was later deemed insensitive and inappropriate. The fallout of the entire episode affected the show, the venue at which it was hosted, and many of the comedians who had made guest appearances. Samay and Ranveer were right in the middle of the storm as police cases were filed against both of them, and they experienced a lot of online bashing and personal hazing as well.

Directed by Eric Abrams - whose credits include Ari Shaffir's Jew and Ralph Barbosa's Cowabunga - the special digs into Jensen's offbeat take on femininity, the contradictions of self-love, and the uncomfortable truths of daily life, reported Deadline. Jordan Jensen's Take Me With You premieres in September on Netflix.(YouTube/Jordan Jensen) 'Being a person is humiliating and grotesque. I'm not sure why we are all pretending it's adorable or palatable in any way.' Jensen said in a statement about the project on the special's themes. A director's perspective Producer Matt Schuler backed the project, with Alex Brizel and Brian Stern of AGI Entertainment Media & Management serving as executive producers. Abrams praised Jensen's voice in comedy, telling Deadline, 'To say that Jordan has a unique voice in comedy is almost too obvious to be worth sharing. She's honest, she's relentless, she's funny as f**k, and if you miss any of that you're probably just not paying attention.' Also read: Dan Levy's Netflix series Big Mistakes begins filming, full cast revealed Abrams added that Jensen's work blends sharp wit with substance. 'What may go under the radar is the depth of Jordan's intelligence. She has SO much to say, and she builds her argument with the patience and guile of the finest tv courtroom drama prosecutors. But she hides her poignance under such gut-splittingly funny jokes that a lot of folks will think that she's nothing more than the most exciting new killer on the comedy scene," he said. From upstate beginnings to Netflix According to Deadline, Jensen's path to this moment started in upstate New York before a move to Nashville, where she spent a year performing in clubs and driving her comedy on the road in a pickup truck.
