What did Samay Raina say?
{{/usCountry}}In his stand-up special Still Alive, Samay spoke about the India's Got Latent Season 1 controversy surrounding him and Ranveer Allahbadia, and how multiple FIRs were registered against them. Speaking about the controversy during the stand-up, Samay shared how a Mumbai cop asked him to apologise in the aftermath of the incident.
Recalling the same, he said, "During the time, I remembered George Orwell's line, 'Every joke is a tiny revolution and the joke must never stop.' But the police had also told me that 'We will put you in jail.' Then I thought if Orwell was in India, he would have said, 'Every revolution is a tiny joke.' I thought it makes sense to say sorry, you can't bring revolution in our society by a joke. You only fight when the fight is fair, if not, you should f*** off from there."
