Samay Raina returns on Netflix, roasts Nawazuddin Siddiqui hard
A new Netflix episode of India's Got Latent went viral within hours as Samay Raina roasted Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Bhuvan Bam
Comedian Samay Raina had been at the centre of controversy for a while. His show India's Got Latent drew heavy criticism, was shut down and landed him in legal trouble. But Raina has now made a strong comeback. A new episode of India's Got Latent has arrived on Netflix and went viral as soon as it dropped. The episode got over 2 million views within just two hours, and it has also been uploaded on YouTube.
The panel for this episode had big names. Bollywood actor Nawazuddin Siddiqui, YouTuber and actor Bhuvan Bam, casting director Mukesh Chhabra and comedian Kaustubh were on the panel this time. Raina roasted everyone in his usual style.
The most talked-about moment is Raina's roast of Nawazuddin Siddiqui. While praising the web series Sacred Games, Raina took a dig at Siddiqui, saying, "In the series, Nawaz sir used to take drugs, drink alcohol, have relations with women who were sex workers, and then come to the set." Everyone on the panel burst out laughing on hearing this. Siddiqui hit back with a sharp reply, saying, "I've come prepared in a similar way for this show too." To this, Raina immediately said, "Sir, think before you speak, a lot has already happened on this seat before." Hearing this joke, Siddiqui appeared to pause and think for a moment.
After Siddiqui, Raina turned to Bhuvan Bam. He did not spare Bam either. Raina told Bam, "So you finally came on YouTube." He then asked, "Why did you leave YouTube?" Before Bam could answer, Raina said, "I left because you can run away." Netizens commented that both Bam and Siddiqui were speaking very carefully throughout the show.
This clip is currently going massively viral on social media. One user commented, "Bhuvan and Nawaz are being very careful with whatever they say." After the controversial period, people have loved this comeback from Raina. His roasting style and outspoken manner are the hallmark of his show. It is not easy to seat big stars in front of you and take digs at them, but Raina does it with ease. The Netflix release has given him an even bigger platform, and this episode is currently the only thing being discussed on social media.
