Samay's comedy always hits different! 🇮🇳 So glad he's turning that controversy into material. Indian stand-up needs voices like his that can laugh through tough times. Can't wait for the Mumbai show dates! 🤞

While I appreciate his talent, I hope he addresses the controversy responsibly. Comedy shouldn't come at someone else's expense. That being said, wish him success on the international tour - making India proud! ✈️

Bhai ticket prices batao! Europe tour sounds amazing but hope he keeps it affordable for Indian fans too. Our middle-class pockets aren't as deep as NRI wallets 😅 Jokes apart, welcome back Samay!

The way Indian comedians are going global makes me so proud! From small clubs to international tours - what a journey. Though I wish more shows were happening in Tier 2 Indian cities too. #DemocratizeComedy

Controversy aside, this man's work ethic is inspiring. To tour through personal struggles shows real dedication to the craft. Hope he includes some Indian cities after the international leg. Bangalore waiting!

As someone who followed the whole controversy, I hope he uses this platform to spread positivity rather than reignite negativity. Comedy should unite, not divide. That said, wishing him all the best for the tour! ❤️
