Overview
- Samay Raina returned with a YouTube special, Still Alive, after more than a year away following India’s Got Latent, which was pulled from YouTube after FIRs over an inappropriate question on an episode.
- In the set he describes the 1990s Kashmiri Pandit departure as “Kashmiri Pandit wisdom,” arguing a five percent minority could not win a fight.
- The line won praise from some Kashmiri Pandit voices such as radiologist Dr Sunil Bhat and drew criticism from PDP spokesperson Mohit Bhan.
- A separate viral clip compares his “flight attendant” joke to a Dave Chappelle routine from years ago that also ties passenger panic to a crew’s reaction during turbulence.
- Online reaction to the comparison is split and, as of the reports, Raina has not publicly responded to the copying claim.
