On December 27, 2024, Samay Raina hosted an AMA (Ask Me Anything) session on Reddit from the IndiasGotLatent group. During the session, one user asked Samay about his current relationship with Kusha Kapila. Samay candidly addressed the impact of the roast, where his biting jokes about Kusha’s divorce from Zorawar Ahluwalia sparked a public outcry. When asked about his favourite comedian, how he stays out of controversies, and his friendship with Kusha now, Samay’s response read:
“I don’t have a favourite comedian, I have favourite jokes. I love and learn from sooo many comics that the list won’t stop if I start writing it down. I don’t chase controversies, I just be myself and something or the other happens. Learning to deal with it smoothly. Friendship with Kusha is not the same, we rarely talk but I spoke to her recently and it was great! I am fond of her regardless. I hope someday she and I can laugh about everything openly but that day has time. Always rooting for her success!”
