Samay Raina and Ranveer Allahbadia collab

This special episode of The Great Indian Kapil Show marks the first collaboration between Samay Raina and Ranveer Allahbadia after the India's Got Latent controversy. A few weeks back, both the content creators had hinted at coming together soon. This appearance also comes after Samay Raina spoke about Ranveer Allahbadia on his live show, Still Alive. On the latest episode of Kapil's show, Samay revealed how Kapil had spoken to him just 24 hours before the controversy. "I swear, the day my show shut down, sir called me a day before that, he told me something bad is going to happen to you," Samay recalled.

Kapil Sharma said, "I told him that you’re in the limelight now, be careful. I was telling that from experience, I’m not a clairvoyant. You can be famous by saying anything, but once you’re famous, you can’t just say anything." Samay further shared how Kapil was the first celebrity to call him during his difficult times. "Genuinely, Kapil sir was the first person to call me at that time. I still don’t know whether it was concern or an insult. He said, ‘Samay, just like your good days got over, your bad days will be over soon too’," Samay shared.

In his live show recently, Samay Raina revisited the tough times and also made some comments against Ranveer Allahbadia.

As he ended the conversation, Samay also hinted at bringing back a new season of India's Got Latent. He said that according to him, his show couldn't have gotten a better end. He quickly corrected and said that season 1 of his show couldn't have ended in a better way, leaving fans hopeful about a new season returning soon.
