‘Bro turned into Udit Narayan': Samay Raina kisses male fan who filmed him in public, video viral
Comedian Samay Raina enjoys a massive fan following and is known for his affable personality. Also a chess streamer, Raina had now set the Internet abuzz after a video of him kissing a male fan who was filming him in public emerged online. The unexpected moment prompted a wave of hilarious reactions. In the now-viral video, Raina is seen sitting with someone in what appears to be a shopping complex. The moment he realises that a fan is secretly recording a video with him in the background, the comedian rushes to him and begins showering him with exaggerated kisses on both cheeks, leaving the fan laughing uncontrollably. Sharing the video, Instagram handle @tv1indialive wrote, 'Samay Raina Starts Kissing Fan for Filming Him in Public to Make Him Stop.' Watch here: A post shared by TV1 INDIA खबरों का नया अड्डा* (@tv1indialive) The video quickly gained traction, sparking a laughter riot in the comment section. Several social media users compared Raina to singer Udit Narayan, who triggered a controversy earlier this year after he kissed a female fan on the lips during a concert. 'Bro turned into Udit Narayan,' a user wrote. 'This is magnus carlsen from Bihar,' another commented. 'Yaar, this guy Samay can do literally anything (laughing emojis),' a third user reacted. 'This man is different n crazy,' a fourth user chimed in. Earlier this year, Raina created a buzz after he cracked a joke outside the Supreme Court, where he had appeared in a case over allegedly mocking people with disabilities on his YouTube show India's Got Latent. In February, Raina's show received major backlash due to 'vulgar' jokes cracked by podcaster Ranveer Allahabadia and Apoorva Makhija. The controversy led to the show being taken down from YouTube, besides legal action, and public outcry.

Jaya Bhattacharya Recalls Rs 1000 Raise In 7 Years On Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi Set: ‘Hit My Ego'
Last Updated: Jaya Bhattacharya revealed she was the 'most underpaid' actor on Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, receiving just Rs 1000 raise in seven years. Actor Jaya Bhattacharya, best known for playing Payal Parikh in the iconic Indian soap opera Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, revealed she was the 'most underpaid' actor on the show. In a candid chat with Siddharth Kannan on his YouTube podcast, Jaya reflected on her experience working on the show for over seven years and opened up about the lack of fair compensation. Jaya shared, 'I was the most underpaid actor. I never got a raise. Only once I asked for a raise, and while everyone got a raise of 2 thousand rupees, I got only 1 thousand. That hit my ego, so I didn't ask for it ever again and hence didn't get a raise for a straight 7 years." When asked if her fellow cast members received better raises over the years, she replied, 'Ohhh yes… woh log toh kahan se kahan paunch gaye (They reached great heights in their careers)." Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi Set For Reboot Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, created by Ekta Kapoor and aired on Star Plus from 2000 to 2008, was a game-changer for Indian television. The series, starring Smriti Irani as Tulsi, defined the 'saas-bahu" genre and became a household favourite across the country. Now, 17 years later, the show is returning with a fresh perspective. The reboot is set to premiere on Star Plus and JioCinema (formerly Hotstar) on July 29. A new promo features Tulsi speaking about the importance of values in a fast-changing world. Roles Played Apart from her role in Kyunki, Jaya Bhattacharya has featured in several TV shows like Thodi Si Zameen Thoda Sa Aasmaan, Devon Ke Dev…Mahadev, Madhubala – Ek Ishq Ek Junoon, and Thapki Pyar Ki. She's also been part of films like Devdas, Lajja, Ek Vivaah Aisa Bhi, and The Wishing Tree. First Published: July 28, 2025, 12:14 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

'Been few days… f**k, can you, like, no?': Ironmouse fires back at rushing orgs, trying to sign her just days after VShojo drama
(Image via YouTube/MouseyDawg) Just days after the high-profile VShojo drama that shook the VTuber world, Ironmouse is already facing an overwhelming wave of recruitment attempts. The streamer, who is popular for her unfiltered and vibrant personality, is quite furious about it. She, during one of her recent streams, showed her frustration and issued a blunt response, calling out the organizations for the lack of respect and patience. Her entire message was loud and clear, and she wanted all of them to back off. Ironmouse bluntly rejects opportunistic organizations During one of the live broadcasts, VTuber powerhouse Ironmouse revealed that she had been receiving countless DMs and emails just days after leaving the former agency VShojo. All these organizations reaching out to her aggressively pitched her to join their VTuber corpos, content creator agencies or even help her in starting her own. She is clearly irritated and couldn't hold back any longer. VTubers Companies Tried to Recruit Ironmouse "How about don't do that? How about no? How about do not?! Don't f**k with me, bro! You think I'm f**king around?! I ain't joking b***ch!' said Ironmouse as she delivered her outburst. She further added that she needs a 'tiny bit of break,' and 'time to be indie.' As per her, 'it's only been a few days! Like, what the f**k, can you, like, no?' and she needs time for just being independent. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Brain tumor has left my son feeling miserable; please help! Donate For Health Donate Now Undo Ironmouse's message is loud and clear. She is not interested in jumping into any other corporate commitment anytime soon. After Ironmouse outburst, fans even praised her for setting the boundaries, especially after the recent fallout of VShojo. Fans' reactions to Ironmouse response The raw reaction of Ironmouse instantly resonated all across social media, particularly on X. The VTuber community started showing support, condemning the nature and timing of the approaches. Their sentiment was just clear—this is wildly inappropriate. A user on X wrote, 'I can respect the hustle and striking an iron while it's Man trying to recruit a person who just revealed one of the largest scandals of the year? Yeah she's been burned bad and she needs space xD' 'Good, she needs to take her time and figure it all out. Maybe get Mythic to help,' added another. A user even slammed the opportunist organizations, wanting them to give Ironmouse a break. The comment read, 'Good grief… Give her a break." Echoing the feelings of fans, followers, and even Ironmouse, a user criticised the organization's lack of regard for VTubers' feelings during such a stressful major event. The comment read, 'I can understand you want to grow your business, but People can really be too opportunistic at times and forget about the vtuber's own personal feelings on the matter.' Comments like, 'Orgs are a cancer,' even dominated the conversation. 'Is anyone really surprised?' read a blunt comment showing this entire event was not at all surprising, and organizations are making such disrespectful attempts that it's not for the first time. Many fans even praised Ironmouse's stance. They agreed on the fact that she needed space to recover after processing things independently. It means the organizations must back off and allow Ironmouse to breathe before she goes ahead to make any moves. VShojo controversy led to a major impact and explosive exits The aggressive VTuber recruitment push by the organizations is coming at a time when Ironmouse made an exit from VShojo. Ironmouse's departure video accused VShojo of not just financial mismanagement but also failing to donate the promised funds to the Immune Deficiency Foundation. The scandal further snowballed and led to many high-profile exits. It ultimately brought VShojo to its shutdown, just days after the CEO announced bankruptcy. While the industry is still reeling in so much, and being one of the independent VTubers, Ironmouse is giving priority to just well-being, the immediate attempts of orgs are just insensitive to the VTuber. But the best thing is that Ironmouse is not allowing opportunistic organizations to pressure her into a deal with one another. As of now, she is just focusing on streaming freely, without any corporate strings attached. Catch Rani Rampal's inspiring story on Game On, Episode 4. Watch Here!
