If you don’t live under a rock and have decent internet you must have definitely come across the new-age comedy icon Samay Raina who has been making huge waves with his show India’s Got Latent. The show has taken the entire country by storm and has catapulted Samay into a mainstream pedestal. Every episode of this show has garnered over 10 million views on YouTube and Samay Raina’s channel membership has become a mandate for this gen.
I have been following Samay since the time when he used to livestream his chess gameplays and have fun conversations with people during the lockdown. Yes, I did not discover him as a comedian instead he was a streamer to me who used to hang out with some of my favorite rappers like KR$NA and Seedhe maut, and was effortlessly funny by personality. It was a few months later when I discovered that he was a standup comedian who won a show called Comicstaan which aired on Prime Video in 2019. But throughout the years I’ve seen him go from a streamer to a full-time stand-up comic to an iconic personality who’s providing a great platform for so many more talents out there!
Samay is the new-age Kapil Sharma for the teens right now and I’m not exaggerating because every single teen knows him at this point. He has his own journey and has a likeable personality which has resonated with the youth throughout the country. I mean the dark jokes and dirty talk have also resonated well enough but you know what I said. What do you think of Samay Raina’s meteoric rise to success and what do you think about India’s Got Latent let us know in the comments below.
