Popular stand-up comedian Samay Raina has found himself at the center of a fresh online controversy following his latest episode of the show India’s Got Latent, where veteran actor Archana Puran Singh appeared as a guest panelist. During the episode, Samay welcomed Archana with compliments about her iconic role as Miss Braganza in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, but quickly turned the conversation toward her popular family vlogs, taking sharp digs at her personal life. The comedian playfully remarked that after watching her vlogs, it seems neither her husband, veteran actor Parmeet Sethi, works nor do her two “nalle” (useless) sons, adding that her household runs on “reverse patriarchy” where only women earn. While Archana’s sons, Aaryamann and Ayushmaan, were seated in the front row and initially laughed along, Archana lightheartedly told them that sitting in the front row gets people insulted rather than famous.
As the episode progressed, Samay continued to target Archana’s career and her famous stint as a judge on comedy shows, teasingly claiming that her main job was simply laughing at Kapil Sharma’s jokes. Archana handled the jabs with grace and humor, defending her profession by stating that laughing and keeping audiences entertained is actually one of the toughest jobs in showbiz, while reminding Samay that women working across the world deserve respect for their effort. Despite the warm camaraderie shown on set between the panelists, the clip quickly went viral across social media platforms, triggering mixed reactions from netizens.
While a section of fans defended Samay’s roast format as harmless comedy that the host family accepted in good spirit, a large portion of the internet voiced strong disappointment over the exchange. Critics online labeled the comments as plain disrespectful rather than funny, arguing that targeting senior actors, undermining Parmeet Sethi’s long acting career, and calling young aspiring artists useless crosses the line of comedy. Many social media users expressed that roasting should not involve insulting someone’s family for cheap views, leading to an intense debate on online comedy boundaries.
