Content creator Ashish Chanchlani humorously commented on the announcement by referencing the controversy from the show’s first season. In the comments, Chanchlani requested that Samay include a disclaimer to help navigate potential legal issues.

Samay After IGL Controversy

Meanwhile, Samay Raina has recently made a strong return after more than a year away from the spotlight following the ‘India’s Got Latent’ controversy, with his latest comedy special achieving a significant global milestone online.

He released his debut stand-up special titled ‘Still Alive’ on YouTube, which has surpassed 53.4 million views. According to reports, it is now the most-watched full-length stand-up comedy special in the world from a single upload. With this accomplishment, Raina has reportedly become the first comedian to hold the record for the highest-viewed stand-up special globally on a single video platform.

About Still Alive By SR

‘Still Alive’ also marks Raina’s first official stand-up special. In the 1-hour and 21-minute performance, he candidly discusses the ‘India’s Got Latent’ controversy, his one-year hiatus from public appearances, personal and financial struggles, childhood bullying, his Kashmiri Pandit identity, mental health, and the support he received from fans and close friends.

For those unaware, the ‘India’s Got Latent’ controversy began in February last year after Ranveer Allahbadia, Ashish Chanchlani, and Apoorva Mukhija appeared as panellists on the show. A remark made by Allahbadia sparked widespread backlash, leading to FIRs filed against Samay Raina and others involved.

Following the controversy, Raina removed the show from YouTube, while Allahbadia later issued a public apology. Despite this setback, Samay has indicated that a second season of ‘India’s Got Latent’ is currently in development.
