Samay Raina sits down for one of his most honest conversations yet.

We go beyond the viral moments, into the real story behind India’s Got Latent, what the controversy actually cost him (financially and mentally), his relationship with his father, the Kashmiri Exodus, and why he turned to Osho’s Ashtavakra Gita in the middle of it all.

This isn’t just an interview. It’s a genuine conversation about fame, identity, art, and what it means to keep going when everything blows up around you.

What we cover:

→ The insane scale India’s Got Latent reached — and what Samay actually thinks about it

→ Why comedians make terrible company

→ His inspirations, his dad, and the Kashmiri Exodus story he rarely talks about

→ The real financial fallout after the Latent controversy

→ Whether Latent is ever coming back
