Stand-up comedian Samay Raina is not new to grabbing attention. Recently, he attended the special screening of The Ba***ds of Bollywood, the much-talked-about directorial debut of Shah Rukh Khan's son, Aryan Khan, and made heads turn there too. The star-studded event, held in Mumbai on Wednesday, September 17, had several Bollywood celebrities turn up in their most glamorous avatar, but it was Samay's simple black t-shirt that grabbed the spotlight.

The comedian turned up for the event, keeping it simple in a plain black t-shirt, but what made it stand out was the bold text printed on it, which read, "Say no to cruise." The text raised eyebrows as it was seemingly a subtle dig at Aryan and his infamous drug case.
For the unversed, in October 2021, Aryan was embroiled in a high-profile drugs case when the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) raided a rave party on the Cordelia Empress cruise ship off the Mumbai coast. The ship, which was bound for Lakshadweep, became a national headline after Shah Rukh Khan's son Aryan, his friend Arbaaz Merchant, and several others were detained from the ship.
Although Aryan was eventually cleared of all charges, the incident continues to be one of the most controversial ones. And now, Samay's t-shirt has sparked fresh conversation around it online.

The who's who of Hindi cinema, and the corporate world assembled to hail the debut of the son of one of the biggest megastars in the world. Shah Rukh Khan, along with his family including his wife Gauri Khan, his daughter Suhana Khan, his elder son Aryan Khan and his younger one AbRam Khan, welcomed the attendees, setting the stage of his elder son's ambitious debut.
At one point during the event, Aryan even turned photographer to capture his father and the paparazzi station at the venue in his frame. The Khans emerged as the focal point of the evening with their impeccable sense of style. The family commanded the spotlight with their striking looks as they were dressed to the nines. While Aryan opted for a sleek leather jacket over a casual tee, Suhana turned heads in a mustard-yellow slit gown.
SRK again appeared with an arm sling as he continues to recover from the after-effects of one of the closest companions in his career, the injury from shooting. However, the megastar turned it around and wore the arm sling as a statement, "A father standing tall despite a thousand cuts for his son".From Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt to Ajay Devgn and Kajol, the evening saw some of the industry's biggest names in attendance.
