Comedian Sunil Pal Questions Samay Raina’s Felicitation By CM Devendra Fadnavis After India’s Got Latent Controversy.

Comedian Sunil Pal has reacted to Samay Raina being felicitated by Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis at a cyber-awareness event in Mumbai. Samay was honoured on Wednesday, August 26, and Sunil shared his reaction in a video the following morning.

Sunil Pal Says ‘Ghor Kalyug’ Over Samay Raina’s Felicitation

Reacting to the news, Sunil said, “Ghor kalyug aa gaya hai, Ghor kalyug.”

He then brought up the controversy around Samay’s show India’s Got Latent and questioned how the comedian could be honoured after the controversy surrounding the show. Sunil also referred to the popular OK soap advertisement while commenting on the situation. He sang, “Jo OK sabun se nahaye, kamal sa khil jaye ab wo ulta ho gaya hai…”

Sunil Pal Talks About Language Used On India’s Got Latent

Sunil also slammed the language used on India’s Got Latent. He alleged that both the participants and panel members used abusive language on the show. He said, “Kya wo gali galoch karta hai Latent jaisa show lata hai isliye? Participant bhi gali dete hain, panel bhi gali dete hain aur aisi aisi galiyan dete hain ki jo aap sun nahi sakte, kisi ke samne pesh nahi kar sakte.”

What Sunil Pal Said About Young Comedians

Sunil then spoke about the message he believes Samay’s felicitation could send to young comedians. He said newcomers might feel that creating controversy, facing police cases and getting media attention could eventually lead to success.

Explaining his point, Sunil said, “Jo naye comedian hai unko kya message phuchega ki samman pana hai to pehle comedian bano, gali galoch karo, police case karo apne upar, koi aisi controversy kar do ki police marte marte aapko police station le jaye, phir aap news mein aa jao. News mein aane ke baad aapka show dobara success ke saath bahar aayega. Jab aapko success mil jayegi to har aadmi salam karega. Jo police wale aapko maar rahe the wo aapki security karenge.”

Samay was felicitated by Fadnavis at the cyber-awareness event in Mumbai on Wednesday.

The controversy around India’s Got Latent erupted in February 2025 after a remark made by YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia during an episode of Samay Raina’s show went viral. The backlash led to police complaints and FIRs against Allahbadia, Samay and others, while Samay eventually removed all episodes of the show from his YouTube channel.
