Comedian Samay Raina has once again found himself at the centre of online discussion after a clip from the latest episode of India's Got Latent Season 2 went viral. The video features fellow comedian Munawar Faruqui as a guest judge alongside YouTuber Purav Jha, with Samay steering the conversation toward one of India's most sensitive historical events the exodus of Kashmiri Pandits.
Samay Raina puts Munawar Faruqui in a spot
The moment unfolded when a contestant from Kashmir introduced himself on stage. Curious about his background, Samay asked whether he was a Kashmiri Pandit or a Kashmiri Muslim. After the contestant identified himself as a Kashmiri Pandit, Samay immediately turned to Munawar and jokingly said, "Bol ab ispe (Say something about this now)." The remark left the panel laughing, while Munawar smiled but chose not to respond.

The conversation did not end there. Samay continued the exchange by adding another quip, saying, "Yeh humare saath hua hai, yeh nahi bolega (This happened to us, he won't comment on it)." The audience erupted in laughter, and the clip quickly spread across social media, generating a wave of reactions.
The viral moment has reignited discussions around Samay's style of comedy, which often draws from personal experiences and controversial topics. Samay, who belongs to a Kashmiri Pandit family, has previously spoken publicly about his community's displacement and how it has shaped his worldview. During his stand-up special Still Alive, released earlier this year, he reflected on his family's history and the emotional impact of the Kashmiri Pandit exodus, describing it as a defining part of his upbringing.
