‘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.
