There is a specific kind of danger in letting Samay Raina sit across from a big-budget star. It’s not just that he’s funny; it’s that he doesn’t care about your PR team. On the fourth members-only bonus episode of India's Got Latent Season 2, Raina made that point clear by turning Ayushmann Khurrana into a laughingstock. The moment the topic shifted to Ayushmann’s recent release, Pati Patni Aur Woh Do, the mood snapped. Raina leaned in, deadpan, and delivered the line that broke the room: he watched the film with two friends, and all three of them wanted a refund.
The joke landed because it was surgically precise. Raina didn’t just insult the movie; he mocked the title itself, redefining 'Woh Do' (the two) as the two unlucky audience members who sat through the runtime. Ayushmann, known for his own brand of neurotic humor, didn’t even try to save face. He just laughed it off, instantly regretting his decision to appear on the show. It’s a rare sight in an industry where stars are usually guarded, but seeing Khurrana surrender to Raina’s wit felt honest.
Raina didn’t stop at the film. He pivoted to Ayushmann’s brother, Aparshakti Khurana, simply stating, "I love him, ya." The non-sequitur left the panel—including mentalist Suhani Shah and comedians Kullu and Rajat Sood—howling. It’s the kind of unscripted chaos that keeps the show’s members-only model viable. This 34-minute clip isn’t just comedy; it’s a window into how the industry actually talks when the cameras aren’t rolling for a promo.
For Ayushmann, the timing is tricky. He has two major projects hitting screens in quick succession, and the buzz needs to stay positive. Udta Teer, a thriller backed by the heavyweights at Dharma Productions and Jio Studios, releases on October 9. It stars Sara Ali Khan and sees Ayushmann in a role that involves chanting 'Pakistan Zindabad' as a spy—a risky, high-concept choice. Then, just six weeks later, he shifts gears to Yeh Prem Mol Liya, directed by Sooraj Barjatya, releasing November 27.
So, while fans are still processing the 'refund' comment, the real question is whether Ayushmann can shake off the joke before the trailers for his next two films drop. Raina’s roast was funny, sure, but it also highlighted how vulnerable recent releases have been to public opinion. The episode is available now on Samay Raina’s YouTube channel, strictly for members.
