Comedian Samay Raina was all over the internet in 2025 because of his YouTube show India’s Got Latent. The controversy began after podcaster Ranveer Allahbadia, also known as BeerBiceps, made an inappropriate remark involving parents while appearing as a panelist on one of the episodes.
However, on Tuesday, April 7, 2026, Samay Raina released his comeback show titled ‘Still Alive’ on his YouTube channel, where he revealed what went on behind the controversy and how he dealt with the situation. Notably, he also shared that Ranveer Allahbadia repeated that controversial remark eight times during the episode, but only one was kept in the final edit.

In that episode, Beer Biceps asked that question eight times. Besides that, he also asked several other inappropriate questions. So when I saw the edit, I said, ‘He has said some really terrible things.’)
He further added, “Chalo ek rakh deta hoon, baaki sab hata deta hoon (Alright, I will keep one and remove the rest). From my point of view, I had removed 99 per cent of the inappropriate content,” Samay said this in his style.
