Comedian Samay Raina, embroiled in controversy after a YouTube show episode went viral, removed all episodes and pledged cooperation with authorities. He now announces international shows, marking a career shift. Earlier, Raina's podcast comments on parental responsibility sparked debate, asserting parents should control children's viewing habits, not creators. He emphasized authenticity over filtered content, advocating for self-acceptance.
Comedian Samay Raina faced intense backlash after an episode of his YouTube show India's Got Latent went viral for controversial reasons, leading him to remove all episodes from his channel.
He has assured full cooperation with authorities during the ongoing investigation. Now, moving past the controversy, Samay has announced a fresh slate of international shows, signaling a new chapter in his career.
Candid Take on Parental Responsibility Sparks Debate
In a podcast recorded earlier this year, Samay sparked discussion with his candid take on parental responsibility and the influence of internet personalities.
During a conversation about content creators' duties towards their audiences, Samay asked fellow podcaster Food Pharmer (Revant Himatsingka), 'Do you think someone like me should avoid drinking Coke and pretend to promote only water in public?' When Food Pharmer suggested that such behavior might impact kids aged 8 to 10, Samay responded bluntly, 'If children that young are watching me, then their parents have failed.

Parents, Not Creators, Should Control What Kids Watch
He further explained that when he was a child, his father strictly limited his TV watching, which kept him from being influenced by television at a young age. He emphasized that parents should take responsibility for what their children watch, rather than placing that burden on content creators like himself. According to him, staying true to oneself and promoting honesty is more important than trying to present a filtered image for the sake of young viewers.
Samay expressed that in a world full of polished and perfect personas, people often feel insecure or question themselves. He believes that by being unapologetically himself—flaws and all—he offers a relatable, genuine presence that helps others feel comfortable being their true selves too.
The Controversy That Sparked It All
Samay Raina made headlines after a controversial episode of his YouTube show went viral for the wrong reasons. During the episode, a panelist posed a provocative question to a contestant that sparked widespread outrage. The backlash was so intense that multiple FIRs were filed against the show's panelists.

Sitaare Zameen Par Box Office Collection Day 1: Aamir Khan-starrer sees slow start; mints THIS amount
Sitaare Zameen Par Box Office Collection Day 1: Aamir Khan's film Sitaare Zameen Par is predicted to have a slow start at the box office. The film was released on Friday. Directed by RS Prasanna, it is the spiritual sequel of Taare Zameen Par. According to industry tracker Sacnilk, Sitaare Zameen Par made a business of ₹ 4.76 crore on Friday, June 20. It is to be noted that this is the live data from the website and subject to changes. The final figures will be out post 10 pm. The Aamir Khan movie was reported to release in theatres with over ₹ 6 crore business on day 1 if advance booking is considered. As per the website, the film had sold 1,15,344 tickets for 9,542 shows in all languages nationwide in advance booking. Without blocked seats, the Aamir Khan sequel was poised to make a business of ₹ 3.31 crore from advance booking ticket sales. In total, the film was said to open with ₹ 6.88 crore gross earnings, including blocked seats. The film is following a strictly theatrical release policy which means it might not see its OTT release soon or ever. The film is also experimenting with several new strategies, as per a report of Bollywood Hungama. It is majorly clashing with Akshay Kumar's Housefull 5, which has now slowed down at the ticket window. Talking about Sitaare Zameen Par's box office performance trends and early estimates, film trade analyst Taran Adarsh told Live Mint that Aamir's film will rely on word-of-mouth. He said, "The advance booking is not in sync with the star status of Aamir Khan. Yes, the advances should have been better because Aamir Khan returns to the big screen after a big gap with his own production, starring in it. It should have been better. I genuinely believe Sitaare Zameen Par is a word-of-mouth film. It should grow with word of mouth.' Going by the early reviews from the audience, the film has been dubbed as a 'well-intentioned film.' Critics reviews also hailed Aamir Khan's performance in the film. Sitaare Zameen Par is said to be the Hindi remake of the 2018 Spanish film, Campeones. Besides Aamir, it also has Genelia D'Souza. It also features 10 special actors who marked their acting debut on this Friday.
