It’s clear that Raina is ready to turn a difficult chapter into a punchline.

To build the hype further, Samay dropped a highlight reel from his recent US and Canada tour—a tour he continued to perform on even while headlines about the ‘India’s Got Latent’ controversy swirled around him.

The video shows him onstage, interacting with audiences, and soaking in applause, giving fans a glimpse of what’s to come.

For the uninitiated, ‘India’s Got Latent’ became a lightning rod for backlash earlier this year. It started with a now-viral episode that featured creators like Apoorva Mukhija, Ashish Chanchlani, Ranveer Allahbadia, and Raina himself.

The show was slammed for allegedly promoting obscenity and explicit content in a format that was available to general audiences on YouTube.

The fallout included an FIR and widespread online criticism, especially after Ranveer made comments that many found insensitive and inappropriate.
