Comedian Samay Raina took a cheeky dig at Varun Dhawan's new track Wow from the upcoming film Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai, and he did it right in front of the actor. Varun, a good sport about it, fired back with a caption that had the Internet in stitches.
Samay Raina Roasts Varun Dhawan
Varun recently shared a video with Samay on his Instagram Story. The video showed Varun enthusiastically crooning his new track Wow, sung by Harrdy Sandhu and Kiran Bajwa, which has been making waves on social media with fans singing along and creating dance reels on it.
But Samay was not impressed, at least not openly. He interrupted Varun mid-song and said, "Aise nahi chalega gaana yaar." When Varun pushed back, asking why, since he thought songs like this work, Samay kept his dry humour going and said, "Accha gaana banao, apne aap chalega yaar." Varun played along, replying, "S**t yaar, mujhe laga chal hi jaata aise."
Varun posted the video with the caption, "What an a****** wow," getting the last word in style. Bollywood quickly joined the fun. Karan Johar dropped laughing emojis, Arjun Kapoor wrote "Marketer of the year," and Bosco Martis cheekily commented, "Master stroke! Better then the moves."

He recently returned with a stand-up special titled Still Alive on YouTube, where he spoke about going through the controversy and its aftermath.
