Samay Raina says ‘parents have failed' if young children are watching his content: ‘Parents need to be responsible if 8-year-olds are watching me'
Samay Raina faced severe backlash when an episode from his YouTube show India's Got Latent went viral for the wrong reasons. The controversy also forced Samay Raina to remove all the episodes of his show from his YouTube channel. He also assured that he will be co-operating with the authorities regarding the investigation. Now, it seems like Samay has put the past behind him as he has announced a new set of shows internationally.
Now, in a new podcast which was recorded in January this year, Samay can be heard talking about people failing as parents if their young children are watching his show. In the podcast, the comedian was seen taking part in a discussion discussing the responsibilities of internet personalities for their viewers. Samay asked Food Pharmer aka Revant Himatsingka, 'Do you think a person like me has a responsibility to not drink Coke and to not be myself? I drink Coke at home, do you think I should fake it in public places and promote drinking water instead?' When the podcaster said, 'Yes, I think it will leave an impression on kids 8-10 years of age', Samay quickly replied, 'If someone as young as eight-ten years old is watching me, then their parents have failed.'
He explained, 'When I was that age, my father would beat me if I watched television. I didn't watch television then. I never got influenced by all this and I really think he did a great job as a father. So the parents are the ones who need to be responsible and not me. I have to be myself. If I want to influence people to do something, it is just to be honest.'

Being unapologetic about who he is, Samay said, 'There are too many fake people in this world. Public gets depressed when they see someone so perfect, doing and saying all the right things, it attacks your confidence and you start to question yourself, 'Is there anything wrong with me?' Then comes a guy like me, just being myself, drinking Coke, saying wrong things. They be like, 'You know what? It's okay to be me, because this is who I relate to.'
Samay Raina was all over the news when certain distasteful comments from one of the episodes of his YouTube show surfaced online. In one of the videos, famous podcaster Ranveer Allahbadia can be heard asking a contestant, 'Would you rather watch your parents have sex every day for the rest of your life or join in once to make it stop forever?' This caused such backlash that multiple FIRs were filed against the panelists on the show.

Elden Ring Nightreign Executor guide- How to play, tips, tricks, and more
(Image via YouTube/Bandai Namco Entertainment) Elden Ring Nightreign's Executor is a high-reward and high-skill class that's built for players who love aggression and precision. The class specializes in Arcane and Dexterity. As a masked warrior, Executor thrives on one-on-one duels with bleed effects and devastating Katana strikes. Mastering the Cursed Sword stance Executor, as it's the key to lead a better game. But the Executor's playstyle demands more. To have mastery over stance management and parrying will be a great move. The guide here covers how to dominate using the Executor class. Make sure to follow it and prepare for the dance of steel. How to play Executor class Elden Ring Nightreign? ELDEN RING NIGHTREIGN | Executor Character Trailer An executor is the hybrid duelist and the status-inflicter. The class relies on well-time parries and quick slashes. The Cursed Sword skill (sacrifices the mobility for the powerful defensive options) is central to the Executor's playstyle—entering the slow yet powerful stance, which allows deflections. Successfully parrying can charge the blade and unlock the high-damage lunge attack. But to stand in the stance for too long will leave the Executor vulnerable. Note: To land deflections is quite critical. A Cursed Sword that's fully charged unleashes the devastating golden wave attack. The Ultimate Art, Aspects of the Crucible: Beast of Executor transforms him into a monstrous form. It is ideal to have crowd control or in cases of emergency healing. As the Executor struggles against the groups, making smart use of this particular ability is important. Ensure that the focus is on exploiting bleed buildup, isolating the enemies, and, of course, switching between defensive parrying and aggressive slashing. Elden Ring tips for Executor playstyle Master Cursed Sword stance. Do not stay in the same space, indefinitely. Make its reactive use for parrying heavy attacks and then switch back to normal mode for your mobility (success is hinged on knowing the right time for switching modes). Charge lunge will deal massive damage—ensure that it is timed against the bosses for maximum effect. Ensure to practice your timing and remember Aspects of the Crucible: Best is a powerful emergency heal. End transformation early for conserving gauge. Use ultimate as the survival tool. The beast transformation will fully heal the Executor. Use it to escape death or clear mobs. But cancel early on if the fight starts to shift to the conserve gauge. Play well to the Executor's strength who shines in 1v1s. In the co-ops, allow the teammates to handle adds while you continue to lock down the main threat with the stance breaks and parries. Use the S-tier Arcane scaling weapons like the claws and Katanas that excel. Stack poison or bleed for melting the enemy health bars. Serpent Bow is also the sneaky pick for the ranged status application. Always keep the guard up in stance. Block drains the stamina, but it is safer than mistiming the deflection. Nightreign Executor best relics, weapons, and talismans Elden Ring Nightreign Executor Guide - How to play Executor in Nightreign Executor thrives on Arcane and Dexterity S-tier scaling. Give priority to daggers, katanas, twinblades, claws (especially ones inflecting the Bleed or the other statuses), curved swords, scythes, and whips. The weapons with affixes like X while walking will synergize right with the slow Curved Sword movement. Be sure to seek passives to boost successive attacks like FP Restore, HP restore, and damage. Also, seek stance-breaking or guarding ability. Do not at all overlook the ranged options, including Serpent Bow, to apply the statuses in a safer way. Relics define the Executor's adaptability. Target the general power boosts at first—Endurance/Dexterity/Arcane/Vigor increases. Some Executor-specific relics like [Executor] Roaring (sustain in the beast form) help to restore the HP while the art is active, or the [Executor] while the character skill is active, to unlock the Cursed Sword will store HP, are the top-tier. Even stamina recovery on the hit raids the stance pressure. You can choose poison buffs or Bleed to amplify the primary damage source. Talismans bolster offense and survival: Millicent's Prosthesis for Dexterity or successive attack boost, Lord of Blood's Exultation with the Bleed weapons for more Bleed, Green Turtle for stamina recovery to make relentless attacks, Godskin Swaddling Cloth to earn HP on hits, and Greatshield Talisman (guarding) are some of the excellent choices for Executor. Remember, the Executor is the glass cannon with the right setup. Give priority to Arcane or Dexterity to exploit the status effects and for controlling fights with the well-timed parries. Also, do not forget to practice while you are carving through the foes like the true master of the cursed blade.
