Comedian Samay Raina’s jokes about casting director Mukesh Chhabra draw fresh online attention after an unverified social media claim alleged that the filming of India’s Got Latent 2 was briefly halted following an exchange in a recent episode. The latest episode features Chhabra alongside Nawazuddin Siddiqui, content creator Bhuvan Bam and comedian Kaustubh Agarwal.
In the segment highlighted by multiple outlets, Chhabra mentions his girlfriend while discussing how she might react to the roast-style comments made on stage. Raina turns it into another joke, asking which film she will feature in, prompting laughter from the panel and audience. Times of India focuses on the episode’s overall roast interactions involving Chhabra, while Free Press Journal reports the subsequent online chatter about a possible interruption and adds that these claims are not independently confirmed.
Free Press Journal also says Raina responds to the rumor by sharing the post on his Instagram story and referencing a “Shaktimaan” and comedian Sunil Pal. The outlet frames the alleged backstage incident—such as filming paused and another person intervening—as unverified, with no official confirmation from the show or other reliable sources mentioned in the reporting.
