Samay Raina’s Controversial Comment Sparks Controversy: Comedian Samay Raina’s show ‘India’s Got Latent’ is in the headlines these days. The show has been mired in controversy after a contestant of the show joked on Deepika Padukone’s depression. Samay Raina is being trolled heavily after this incident. But Samay has given his reaction to this controversy, which shows his sense of humor and outspokenness.
What did Samay Raina reply to the trollers?
Reacting to the viral video, Samay Raina said,
“Friends, this is wrong. Do not vent your anger on Twitter. Please go to my YouTube comment section and vent your anger so that I get ad revenue.”
This funny answer of Samay is being discussed a lot on social media. However, even after this statement, users took Samay to task and slammed him fiercely.
What is the matter?
This controversy started with the latest episode of the show. The judges’ panel in this episode included Tanmay Bhatt, Raghu Ram, Dr. Sid Warrior and Balraj Singh Ghai. During the show, a contestant commented on Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh’s daughter ‘Dua’. He said,
“Deepika Padukone has recently become a mother to a daughter, it is a good thing. Now she will know what real depression is.”All the judges of the show started laughing at this. Further, the contestant clarified that his intention was not to make fun of breakup depression.
Deepika Padukone and her initiative on depression
Deepika Padukone has always been open about depression and mental health issues. She has not only shared her experiences but has also started ‘Live Love Laugh Foundation’ to raise awareness about mental health.
However, such comments and jokes can hurt her hard work and awareness campaign. Even before this, Deepika had to face criticism on the issue of depression, but she ignored it and focused on her work.
What’s new in Deepika’s professional life?
Deepika Padukone recently appeared in a cameo role in Ajay Devgan’s film ‘Singham Again’. The role was well received by the audience. At the moment, Deepika has not announced any of her next projects. However, according to reports, she will soon be seen in the Telugu film SSMB29 with Mahesh Babu.
This incident once again raises questions about the limits of jokes on mental health and sensitive issues. Such issues need awareness and empathy. Now it remains to be seen how Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh react to this matter.
