Samay Raina to bring his "comedy heroes" Chandan Prabhakar, Kiku Sharda, Haarsh Limbachiyaa to India's Got Latent

Mumbai, July 3

Stand-up comedian Samay Raina is all set to host comedy veterans Chandan Prabhakar, Kiku Sharda, and writer-producer Haarsh Limbachiyaa on the upcoming episode of 'India's Got Latent Season 2'.

Sharing his excitement on social media, Raina reflected on how the trio influenced his journey in comedy, writing, "I grew up watching @chandanprabhakar @kikusharda and sooo many shows written by @haarshlimbachiyaa30. All of them made me laugh so much and shaped my comedy in a big way."

Expressing his excitement and a heightened anticipation for the episode, Raina further added, "Tonight I'm going to do Latent with them, I can't believe it!!!! I'm so excited for you guys to see me jamming with my comedy heroesss. These guys are veterans, I cant waitttt!!"

In the opening episode, actors Alia Bhatt and Sharvari graced the show, setting the tone for a fun-filled season. Their effortless humour, witty banter, and infectious energy add a refreshing charm to the show.

From sharing laughs with the contestants to joining in on the light-hearted moments, the duo brings warmth, humour, and glamour to the stage.

The second season of 'India's Got Latent' has finally returned on Netflix and YouTube.

Samay Raina recently made a strong comeback after more than a year away from the public eye following the 'India's Got Latent' controversy.

For those unversed, the 'India's Got Latent' controversy began in February last year after Ranveer Allahbadia, Ashish Chanchlani, and Apoorva Mukhija appeared as panellists on the show. A remark made by Allahbadia triggered widespread backlash, following which FIRs were filed against Samay Raina and others involved.

Following the controversy, Raina removed the show from YouTube, while Allahbadia later issued a public apology.

I'm glad Samay is back after that whole controversy. But I hope the show stays respectful this time. Comedy is great, but not at the cost of offending people. Still, excited to see these veterans do their magic! 🙏

Kiku Sharda as Palak in Comedy Nights with Kapil was iconic. Chandan's mimicry is unmatched. Haarsh writes some of the best comedy in Indian TV. This episode is going to be legendary, mark my words! ✨

Interesting to see these Indian comedy icons on a digital show. I've watched some of Samay's earlier episodes and the energy is always high. Hope the veterans bring a fresh dynamic. Good for the Indian comedy scene!

Samay's journey from a comedian to hosting a show like this is inspiring. The trio he's bringing are absolute legends. But I hope the show focuses more on talent than just drama this season. Acha content should speak for itself. 🙌
