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
Apart from being tied to the controversial comment made on his show, comedian Samay Raina is also known for his love for music and hip-hop specifically. He has added another entry to his list of collaborations with DHH (Desi Hip-Hop) artistes with an appearance in the music video for 'Sensitive', a song performed by Krsna and rap duo Seedhe Maut. The song also references India's Got Latent and how easily the country takes offence. The song is a part of Krsna's latest mixtape 'Yours Truly', and all three rappers make fun of censorship and sensitive audiences in the country. 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.

Sustainability Comes First - 5 Of The Best Eco-Friendly, Team-Building Activities In Singapore
Volunteering is a powerful way to connect with the community and promote social responsibility. The island city offers numerous volunteering programmes that focus on sustainability. For instance, gardening volunteer programmes allow teams to cultivate urban gardens, promoting green spaces in the city. Participants can learn about sustainable gardening techniques while contributing to local food security. Additionally, food distribution programmes and soup kitchens provide vital support to those in need. Teams can volunteer to prepare and distribute meals, fostering teamwork while addressing food waste and supporting marginalised communities, particularly at soup kitchens feeding low-income families and migrant labourers. For example, Krsna's Free Meals, located on a corner in Little India, is currently in dire need of volunteers, the perfect opportunity for groups and teams looking to give back to the community. For an added bonus, and for those travelling with children, consider staying at a hotel or serviced accommodation in Singapore that promotes sustainable living, such as Somerset Bencoolen Singapore, where kids are encouraged to participate in eco-friendly activities through the Sustainability Passport Programme.
