Samay Raina and Apoorva Mukhija spoof their past in funny new ad. Watch
Comedian Samay Raina and influencer Apoorva Mukhija have reunited for a quirky new ad promoting a skincare brand - and it's every bit as offbeat as you'd expect. The duo, who previously made headlines for their appearance on the controversial show 'India's Got Latent', and received backlash for their remarks, are back - this time in a parody podcast to mirror the ongoing podcast format, the ad, for the skincare brand Deconstruct, opens with Samay Raina welcoming Apoorva with a straight-faced 'Welcome to the podcast.'advertisementThen, true to form, he fires off a risque one-liner: "Yaar humare last meeting ke baad mujhe toh STD hi ho gaya tha (I got an STD after our last meeting).' Apoorva quickly corrects him: 'PTSD hota hai woh (That's PTSD),' to which he cheekily responds, 'Nahi nahi, mujhe STD hi hua tha – Sun Transmitted Disease,' with a smirk on his face. Continuing in his signature style, Samay delved into his backstory: 'Woh jana pad gaya tha na Assam, Gujarat – skin damage ho gayi thi (Had to travel to Assam and Gujarat, you see – my skin got damaged)."With that, the skincare product plug began, seamlessly woven into the humour. Apoorva, staying in character, interrupted with, 'I came here for a podcast,' prompting Samay to assure her, 'Podcast karte hain,' while continuing to endorse the the ad here: The ad cleverly balances comedy and branding, throwing in jabs at influencers Ranveer Allahbadia and Raj Shamani, talking about leaving homes following the rigorous court hearings and pair's comic timing and effortless banter keep the ad engaging, with a finale full of playful exchanges that left viewers amused and response has been overwhelmingly positive. Fans praised the chemistry and humour, with comments like 'Best GRWM ever in the market' and 'Supreme leader take a bow. Kill kardia dono ne' flooding the a few comments here: Apoorva, addressing the earlier 'India's Got Latent' controversy in an interview with Zoom, had said, 'I'm really happy that it happened to me. I'm grateful it happened because I realised the internet is not your reality. It is a digital world; you don't live there.'Meanwhile, Samay Raina is gearing up for his nationwide stand-up tour titled 'Alive And Unfiltered', kicking off on August 15. The buzz is real — the tour sold 40,000 tickets within the first hour of launch.- EndsMust Watch

Man finds worm squirming in penis following trip to the beach
A man found a worm squirming inside his penis following a trip to the beach. The 22-year-old male from Colombo, Sri Lanka, went to a sexual health clinic with an itchy rash on his manhood that had been irritating him for a week. He explained to doctors that he had been lying on the beach with his bare skin touching the sand in the days before. Experts at St Mary's Community Health Campus in Portsmouth reported the case in the British Medical Journal (BMJ) Sexually Transmitted Infections and diagnosed him with cutaneous larva migrans (CLM), a skin infection that is caused by tiny worm larvae burrowing beneath the skin. CLM is known as a creeping infection and causes itchy red lines that snake across the skin as the larvae move. It is common in tropical areas like Sri Lanka where skin is exposed to contaminated soil or sand. The authors wrote: "Travellers to tropical areas need to take precautions to avoid these unfavourable incidents." The infected man was treated with a three-day course of oral Albendazole and his rash soon cleared up.
