Ranveer Allahbadia’s joke on Samay Raina’s show, India’s Got Latent, has sparked legal trouble, drawing significant public attention. Amid the controversy, a voice note from Samay Raina discussing the essence of comedy has surfaced online, emphasizing that comedy exists purely for entertainment, not moral preaching.
Samay Raina’s Perspective on Comedy
While multiple posts about the controversy have circulated on social media, one particular clip has gone viral on X (formerly Twitter), amassing nearly 9 lakh views. In this audio message, Raina appears to respond to a follower’s Instagram Story.
Although the authenticity of the clip and its direct relevance to the ongoing controversy remain unverified, the message reflects Raina’s views on comedy’s role.
“If someone wants to shoot adult content on our show, send them over—it’ll be great fun. That would break the internet!” Raina jokes in the voice note before explaining his stance.
“Comedy is not meant to deliver moral science lectures. Comedy has no responsibility. It’s meant to detach people from reality and make them laugh,” he asserts.
Highlighting why comedy should remain free from restrictions, he adds:
“People have their struggles. They turn to comedy as an escape. If we start moralizing, it won’t be entertaining anymore.”

These so called influencers have lost all morality & ethics. Are these the influencers we want to influence our society?

“ChatGPT Se Kara Lo Comedy”
In another audio clip, Raina expands on the complexities of comedic boundaries, stating that different topics make different people uncomfortable.
“Some don’t want jokes about death, some dislike jokes about children, abortion, or depression. But if we cater to one request, we’ll have to cater to all. In that case, just let ChatGPT do the comedy for you!”
Concluding his thoughts, he reinforces that comedy should not be taken too seriously:
“Comedy isn’t here to make you wiser or a better person. It’s about fun. We all laugh, and then we all die—that’s all, my brother.”
