A Thank You After India's Got Latent Season 2
Samay's latest move follows the return of India's Got Latent, which recently launched its second season after the comedian had taken down all episodes of the first season in the wake of a controversy.
The new season opened with Alia Bhatt and Sharvari joining the show as panellists. Throughout the episode, Samay joked about some of Alia's earlier box office disappointments, including Jigra, while Sharvari's witty comeback became one of the standout moments of the episode.
Although viewers were divided in their reactions, the premiere episode went on to trend at the No. 1 spot on Netflix. The latest season is currently available to stream on both Netflix and YouTube.
