Comedian Samay Raina has once again courted controversy after his recent stand-up segment, where he joked about Amitabh Bachchan and his son Abhishek Bachchan. These statements sparked backlash online, and Ajaz Khan also reacted strongly. The actor did not back down from Samai’s statements and warned him to “show respect”.Reacting to the viral clip, Ajaz Khan slammed the comedian.During his recent interaction with photographers, he said: “Now what should I say about this ill-mannered man? Does he talk to his parents this way too? Amitabh Bachchan Sahab has entertained India for decades, and today anyone says anything about him, his wife and his son.”He added, “Samai raina, tera saamai kharab shuru ho gaya aaj se. Don’t even come in front of me.”
I am a big fan of Bachchan Sahab, and many fans are looking for you now. Learn to act with respect.”Issuing a stern warning, he also said: “Don’t put your hand everywhere. Not every hole has a rat, sometimes a snake bites. Amitabh Bachchan ke ‘A’ mein hi teri zindagi nikal jayegi – remember that.”
What Samay Raina said
The controversy started after Samay Raina, in a recent set of YouTube situations, made a joke involving Amitabh Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan.
“I had the idea of asking Amitabh Bachchan – sir, you have done so many polio ads, why can’t you get your son to stand on his feet? But I didn’t say that there. Instead, I told him that my grandmother is your biggest fan,” he said.He also admitted to lying to Kaun Banega Crorepati, adding: “I told him on the show that my grandmother watches KBC, but the truth is that she died seven years ago.”
Samay reference “Sooryavansham”.
On the same set, Samay also joked about Amitabh Bachchan’s reaction after seeing him on the news.“He must have seen it. He is very active on Twitter. He liked me very much when I met him. But when he saw me on TV later, he must have thought I had achieved something big. He probably called everyone – Abhishek, Rekha, Jaya, Aishwarya – ‘Come and see this guy,'” he said. He added, “Then he must have turned on the TV and… (mimics vomiting blood)… it must have been like Suryavansham for him. Sorry Amitabh ji, that night was the worst night of my life. I felt like I lost all my connections.”
