Samay Raina is a well-known name in the comic industry. He began his journey on-stage with open mics in 2017 and went on to win Comicstaan Season 2 two years later. But it was in 2024 that Samay made it big in the comedy scene when he started his reality show, India's Got Latent, where he along with other celebrities uncovered hidden talents. Things went downhill in the last episode earlier this year when his co-judge and YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia aka BeerBiceps made a controversial remark about 'sex with parents'. Ranveer, Samay and most of the judges' panel got into trouble. But slowly and steadily, they made a comeback on social media. Today, Samay shared his first Instagram post after the controversy, hitting back at those who ever questioned his talent. A post shared by Samay Raina (@maisamayhoon) The video begins with an audio clip, which says, 'People who buy tickets to listen to all this stuff, they buy tickets and they go to these shows and they sit and listen and they clap for this, whatever this is. I don't know if these are even jokes.' This is followed by a glimpse into the US-Canada Tour Unfiltered by Samay Raina, where we witness the crazy crowds who filled up stadiums to watch the comedian live.

To add on to the joy, Samay announced his next tour which will take him to Europe, UK, Australia and New Zealand!
