Comedian Samay Raina has done it again. He brought his signature roast style to the stage of India’s Got Latent Season 2 and left Bollywood actor Varun Dhawan completely surprised. In a recently released promo clip, Samay took a funny dig at Varun’s now-famous sideways smile, a move that has become a viral topic on social media.
The special episode marks the first Netflix-exclusive drop for the show’s second season. It brings together the unpredictable humour of Samay Raina with the charm of one of Bollywood’s biggest stars. The clip quickly spread across the internet, with fans loving the light-hearted banter between the two.
Samay Raina’s Animal Act Leaves Varun Dhawan Laughing
The viral moment happened during a comedy segment on the show. Varun Dhawan was on stage and asked a contestant to perform an acting task. The contestant agreed, but another panelist, Nishant Tanwar, took a playful jibe at Varun’s acting skills. The comment left everyone, including Varun, laughing.
Varun then called Samay Raina onto the stage. He asked Samay and the contestant to perform together. Samay, known for his quick wit, asked Varun to join them as well. But Varun playfully refused, saying, “Nahi show tumhaara hai. Paise hame mil rahe nahi hain. Paise tumhe banana hai” (No, it’s your show. We are not getting paid. You have to make the money).
Samay then came up with a funny idea. He said, “Sab bante hain ek janwar” (Everyone becomes an animal). He struck a pose with an awkward smile that was a clear imitation of Varun Dhawan’s trademark expression. The actor instantly recognised the joke and played along. Varun copied the same expression, leaving the entire audience and panel in splits.
The Viral Side-Smile That Took Over the Internet
Varun Dhawan’s sideways smile has been a hot topic for a while. It first went viral during the promotions of his film Border 2. After the song Ghar Kab Aaungi came out, people started talking about his expression in the video. Instead of getting upset, Varun joined the fun. He even taught fans how to do the smile during an Instagram live session.
Samay Raina used this famous moment to create comedy gold. His imitation was so spot-on that Varun had no choice but to laugh and join in. This kind of spontaneous comedy is exactly what India’s Got Latent is known for.
Varun Dhawan Shares His Experience on the Show
Varun Dhawan spoke about his time on the show in an official statement. He said he loves comedy and enjoys watching it as much as performing it.
“Comedy is a genre I love performing and enjoy watching as well. Samay’s brand of comedy is so unpredictable that I wanted to experience it live. I had a great time, and hopefully everyone on Netflix enjoys this special as much as I did.”
This is not the first time Varun and Samay have shared screen space. Recently, Varun shared a video with Samay on his Instagram Stories. In the clip, Varun was promoting his song Wow from the film Hai Jawaani Toh Ishq Hona Hai. Samay cheekily roasted the song, saying, “Aise nahi chalega gaana yaar” (This will not work). Varun asked why, and Samay replied, “Accha gaana banao, apne aap chalega yaar” (Make a good song, it will work itself). Their banter won over fans online.
