Sunil Pal on Samay Raina’s felicitation by CM Fadnavis: ‘Honoured for abusive language?’
Comedian Sunil Pal has expressed his disapproval of Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis felicitating Samay Raina at a cyber-awareness event in Mumbai. Pal questioned the reasoning behind Raina's recognition, stating "Honoured for abusive language?" He criticized the language used by Raina and the show's panel, arguing that it could send the wrong message to aspiring comedians.
The controversy surrounding India's Got Latent began in February 2025 after a controversial remark by YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia, leading to legal complaints and Raina's eventual removal of the show's episodes from his YouTube channel. Raina's felicitation has sparked debate about what message it sends to new comedians, with Pal suggesting it may encourage controversial behavior as a path to fame.
