‘Main aisa aadmi nahi hoon’: Samay Raina ‘breaks the facade’ of comedy in old video, said his jokes have ‘no meaning, are only for fun’. Watch

Someone in the audience shouted, “Cover-up, cover-up.” Responding to him, Samay said, “It’s not a coverup, I am trying to tell you something. I could have left and been like….” He then gestures, indicating that he could have simply ended his set after cracking jokes.

He continues, “But I would like to break the facade for you…we all write joke to make you laugh par inn sabka koe matlab nahi hai (These jokes have no meaning). This is a game and these are cheat codes.” Referring to an earlier joke in his set, he said, “Nana zinda hai mera (My grandfather is alive). We write s***, we know it works for you, you have a good time, we make money. Fun.”

Raina is currently touring Canada and the United States with his stand-up show Samay Raina Unfiltered. He recently performed at the Myer Horowitz Theater in Edmonton, Canada. The comedian was issued a summons by cyber police. The cyber police also denied him permission to record his statement via videoconferencing.

After removing all episodes of India’s Got Latent, Samay had shared a note on Instagram that read, “Everything that is happening has been too much for me to handle. I have removed all India’s Got Latent videos from my channel. My only objective was to make people laugh and have a good time. I will fully cooperate with all agencies to ensure their inquiries are concluded fairly. Thank you.”
