Samay Raina laughs off Sunil Pal's Rs 25 lakh claim, calls it fake news
Samay Raina has denied Sunil Pal's claim that he offered him Rs 25 lakh for India's Got Latent. The exchange has reignited their public feud as the show's second season rolls on.
The Samay Raina-Sunil Pal feud has found yet another chapter. Days after Sunil Pal claimed he had turned down an offer of Rs 25 lakh to appear on India's Got Latent, Samay dismissed the statement with a two-word response: "Fake news."
The comedian reacted to a news report on his Instagram Stories, calling the claim false. He also took a dig at Sunil, writing, "Sunil Pal ko 25 lakh (Rs 25 lakh to Sunil Pal)?" followed by laughing and crying emojis.
Here's the Story:
The response came after Sunil, one of Samay's most vocal critics since the India's Got Latent controversy, told the paparazzi that he had declined the offer because he did not want to be associated with abusive language.
Speaking about the alleged offer, Sunil said, "He spoke to me and said he would give me Rs 25 lakh. I told him I would not cuss. He said, 'You don't have to, but that's what we would be doing.'"
A timeline of Samay Raina and Sunil Pal's public feud
Samay's reaction has once again put the spotlight on the pair's long-running public feud, which has unfolded through interviews, stand-up specials, social media exchanges and television appearances.
The friction dates back to the controversy surrounding India's Got Latent in 2025, when Ranveer Allahbadia's remarks about parents and sex sparked nationwide outrage.
FIRs were filed against both Allahbadia and Samay, following which the comedian took down all episodes of the show from YouTube. Sunil was among those who strongly criticised the programme, urging Samay to learn clean comedy from Kapil Sharma and, at one point, referring to both Samay and Allahbadia as "terrorists".
Samay later addressed the criticism in his comeback stand-up special, Still Alive, where he claimed Kapil Sharma himself had wanted to appear on India's Got Latent. He also described Sunil as "insecure" and "frustrated".
The two eventually shared the screen on The Great Indian Kapil Show, where Samay roasted Sunil throughout the episode. More recently, during the premiere of India's Got Latent Season 2, Samay revived one of his earlier jokes, asking Sunil, "Aap brush kyun nahi karte?" ("Why don't you brush your teeth?").
Sunil responded with a video featuring Jay Verma, saying, "Bhai, main brush nahi karta hoon tune aisa mujhe bola tha na? Par Samay Raina tu toh brush karta hai, tere muh se itni gandagi kyun nikalti hai bhai?" ("You said I don't brush my teeth. But you brush yours, so why does so much filth come out of your mouth?")
Meanwhile, India's Got Latent Season 2 has returned with a fresh line-up of guests. The premiere featured Alia Bhatt and Sharvari as panellists, while the second episode included Haarsh Limbachiyaa, Kiku Sharda and Chandan Prabhakar.
The show can be streamed on YouTube and Netflix.
