Samay Raina says he is still alive, in a YouTube special that has gathered millions and millions of views since it released. I watched it, and bhai, revenge should look like this

Samay Raina inspired me, and will inspire you. His unapologetic return after a time of great adversity is a good life skill to learn. PIC/YouTube/Samay Raina

Before I give my humble opinion on Samay Raina’s comeback special, Still Alive, I have a disclaimer to make: I have never watched him much, consumed his content, or had a very strong opinion on him. To me, he has always represented a bunch of muhfat comics/creators who are many times, sexist, misogynistic and arrogant. I have always been like, “nahin, not interested”. So my review today is entirely based on this video, which follows the massive controversy and legal troubles Raina and the likes of Beer Biceps found themselves back in February 2025, after the latter cracked an unnecessary “joke” on the former’s show, India’s Got Latent. This video, which people can’t stop talking about on social media, is Raina’s take on all of that.

The special starts off with Raina sort of blaming Ranveer Allahbadia........
