Comedian Samay Raina is once again making headlines after a joke about the NEET paper leak during the latest episode of India’s Got Latent. While many people laughed at the moment, the clip quickly spread across social media and started a fresh debate online.
The viral moment happened when contestant Geni Kamki, who came on the show to perform a song, introduced herself. She shared that she is from Guwahati and is currently studying homeopathy. She also mentioned that it was her first trip to Mumbai but that she had to return the next day because of her college classes.
During their conversation, Samay jokingly asked why she wasn’t studying allopathy. He then said, “Why don’t you become a real doctor? The papers have already leaked anyway.” The comment was a humorous reference to the NEET paper leak controversy.
The audience and other guests on the show laughed at the joke. However, after the clip appeared on social media, many people began discussing it. Some viewers felt Samay used comedy to highlight a serious issue that has affected thousands of students preparing for medical entrance exams.
The episode also featured comedians Haarsh Limbachiyaa, Kiku Sharda, and Chandan Prabhakar as guest panelists.
Many users online supported Samay’s comment. Some said it was good to see a public figure talking about a topic that has been widely discussed across the country. Others believed the joke reflected the frustration many students have felt over the controversy.
The viral moment came only a few days after Abhijeet Dipke criticized Samay Raina during an interview. Dipke called the comedian “privileged” while speaking about the ongoing protests related to the NEET paper leak. His comments also received attention on social media.
Despite the mixed reactions, India’s Got Latent Season 2 continues to attract viewers. The new season has featured several well-known celebrities and comedians, helping the show remain one of the most talked-about entertainment programs online.
As of now, Samay Raina has not responded to the online reactions. However, the short clip continues to be widely shared, with people expressing different opinions about whether the joke was simply comedy or a comment on a serious public issue.
