Comedian Samay Raina is once again making headlines for his sharp wit and fearless sense of humour. During the latest episode of India’s Got Latent Season 2, Samay cracked a joke about fellow comedian Munawar Faruqui’s second marriage, drawing an unexpected comparison with Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan. The remark quickly became one of the most talked-about moments from the episode, with clips circulating widely on social media.
The latest episode featured actors Raghav Juyal and digital creator Niharika NM, who appeared on the show to promote their upcoming film Bhai Tera Star Hai. As expected, the episode was filled with light-hearted banter, improvisation, and humorous exchanges, a signature style that has made India’s Got Latent popular among viewers.
While promoting the film, Samay urged audiences to watch Bhai Tera Star Hai in theatres when it releases on July 30. He jokingly told viewers not to wait for its OTT release, saying they should experience the movie on the big screen instead. His playful comment prompted Raghav Juyal to immediately clarify that the film would not be available on OTT just a day after its theatrical release.
Raghav explained that he was following a strategy similar to Bollywood actor Aamir Khan, who has often emphasized theatrical releases before digital premieres. “Aamir Khan sir jaisa game khel raha hoon. Seedha theatre mein aaiye, theatre mein hi dekhiye,” Raghav said, encouraging audiences to support the film in cinemas.
It was at that moment that Samay Raina delivered the punchline that had everyone laughing. “Aamir sir jaise game toh Munawar Faruqui ne khela hai,” he quipped, prompting laughter from those present on the set.
The joke referred to the personal lives of Aamir Khan and Munawar Faruqui. The humour was based on the fact that both public figures have had multiple marriages, with Samay using the comparison as a comedic punchline. The audience inside the studio reacted with laughter, while the clip quickly gained traction online after the episode’s release.
As with many jokes made on India’s Got Latent, Samay’s comment sparked mixed reactions on social media. Many fans praised the comedian’s spontaneous humour and comic timing, calling it one of the funniest moments of the episode. Others felt that personal relationships should remain off-limits in comedy, leading to discussions about the boundaries of stand-up humour and celebrity roasts.
India’s Got Latent has built its reputation on unfiltered comedy and candid conversations. However, the show has also faced controversy in the past. Earlier, it attracted widespread criticism following remarks made by influencer Ranveer Allahbadia during one of the episodes, which eventually led to the removal of the show’s content from YouTube.
Despite those setbacks, Samay Raina announced the return of India’s Got Latent in 2026 during his comedy special Still Alive. The second season has since resumed with a fresh lineup of guests and contestants and is available through YouTube’s Members-only platform as well as Netflix, bringing the show to a wider audience.
With each new episode, India’s Got Latent continues to generate buzz for its unpredictable humour, celebrity appearances, and viral moments. Samay Raina’s latest one-liner about Munawar Faruqui is another example of how the show continues to dominate online conversations, even when its jokes divide public opinion. As the season progresses, viewers can expect more unscripted comedy, celebrity interactions, and memorable moments that keep the show in the spotlight.
