Samay Raina brings his "comedy heroes" Chandan Prabhakar, Kiku Sharda, Haarsh Limbachiyaa to India's Got Latent
Mumbai, July 3
Stand-up comedian Samay Raina has welcomed 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."
Showing 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.

Finally some wholesome content on India's Got Latent! After that whole Ranveer Allahbadia mess, Samay needed a clean slate. Inviting these legends is a smart move. Haarsh Limbachiyaa's writing is legendary. Yaar, I just hope the show stays respectful this time. 🙏
Good to see Samay back but I think he's playing it too safe now. The whole reason people loved Latent was the raw, unfiltered comedy. Now it feels like a sanitized version for Netflix. Still, Chandan and Kiku are legends. Let's see if they can bring back the magic.
I grew up watching these guys on Comedy Circus with Bharti! Samay Raina acknowledging his inspirations is so heartwarming. But honestly, the Alia Bhatt episode was cringe. Hope this one with actual comedians is better. Kiku Sharda's expressions are always top notch. 😂
Samay Raina bringing Chandan and Kiku is like paying respect to the OG comedy school. These guys don't need cheap controversial remarks to make people laugh. Pure talent. But I'm still skeptical after the whole Allahbadia incident. Let's see if the show has actually learned its lesson. 👀
This honestly feels like Samay trying to rebuild his image after the controversy. But inviting these veterans is a good step. Haarsh Limbachiyaa has written so many iconic comedy shows. I just wish they'd bring back some of that old school comedy energy instead of the forced viral content. Still excited though! ✨
