Video Of Samay Raina’s Parents Celebrating ‘Still Alive’ Success Goes Viral

A video showing comedian Samay Raina’s parents celebrating the success of his comedy special, Still Alive, has gone viral on social media. Samay released the special on YouTube nearly a year after staying away from the public eye following the controversy around his talent reality show India’s Got Latent. The show began in June 2024 but was shut down after eight months due to backlash over a controversial joke made by one of the panellists, Ranveer Allahbadia.

Despite the controversy, Samay’s return has been widely appreciated by fans. The special has already crossed 31 million views.
