Comedian Samay Raina recently received felicitation from Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis at a cyber-awareness event in Mumbai. This marked a significant moment for Raina, who had faced controversy in the past. However, fellow comedian Sunil Pal chose to react to the news in a video, expressing his disapproval. On the morning of August 27, 2026, Sunil took to social media to voice his concerns.
Sunil began by quipping, "Ghor kalyug aa gaya hai, Ghor kalyug," pointing to the era's apparent decline. He then delved into the controversy surrounding Samay's show, India’s Got Latent. Sunil questioned how Raina could be honored after the show's problematic content and conduct. He even altered the tagline of a popular OK soap advertisement to make his point, singing, "Jo OK sabun se nahaye, kamal sa khil jaye ab wo ulta ho gaya hai..."
Furthermore, Sunil criticized the language and behavior on India’s Got Latent, alleging that both the participants and panelists used abusive language. He questioned whether such a show was deserving of the honor and recognition it received. Sunil's concern was not just about the current situation but also about the potential message it could send to aspiring comedians.
He warned that newcomers might interpret such controversy, police cases, and media attention as a route to success and recognition, which could be detrimental to the industry.
