Comedian Samay Raina has once again found himself at the centre of an online controversy after an old clip from one of his 2024 performances resurfaced on social media. The video, which has gone viral following the return of India’s Got Latent Season 2, has triggered criticism from several internet users, with many comparing the joke to comedian Pranit More’s recent Rs 370 biryani controversy.

In the resurfaced clip, Samay jokes about offering emotional support to a woman only to expect something in return. He says, "Kandha dega tabhi woh... vasoolunga toh sahi," a remark that many viewers have labelled insensitive and inappropriate. The clip has been widely circulated across social media platforms, reigniting debates around the boundaries of comedy and consent.
