Bollywood actor Ranvir Shorey has expressed strong disapproval of comedian Samay Raina’s humor, suggesting that comedians should undergo psychological evaluation. His remarks came after a viral video showed Raina making controversial jokes about a two-month-old baby’s medical condition, which sparked massive outrage on social media.
Samay Raina is currently in the spotlight after a recent episode of his YouTube show “India’s Got Latent” featured YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia, who made an obscene remark about a contestant’s parents. The incident led to severe backlash, and the police have begun investigating the matter. However, amidst the criticism, several celebrities, including Urfi Javed, Munawar Faruqui, and rapper Badshah, have come out in Raina’s support.
A viral clip circulating online shows Raina repeatedly joking about a ₹16 crore injection required for a baby’s treatment. He further mocks the situation, leading to laughter from the audience and himself. This insensitivity did not sit well with many social media users, including Ranvir Shorey, who commented, “Comedians should undergo psychological tests. Both those who make such jokes and those who laugh at them are mentally unwell.”
The controversial joke has reignited debates on the ethics of comedy and responsible humor. While some argue for freedom of speech, others believe that comedy should have moral boundaries. With public outrage intensifying, it remains to be seen how Samay Raina addresses the backlash.
