Comedian Varun Grover recently took a humorous jab at the ongoing controversy surrounding Samay Raina’s show India’s Got Latent and Ranveer Allahbadia’s comments on it. During his stand-up routine, Varun joked about the irony of those who once advised him to steer clear of politics in comedy now facing trouble themselves.
A clip from his set, posted on X (formerly Twitter), showcased his sharp wit. He humorously explained the process of developing a stand-up show, urging the audience not to record, quipping, “I don’t want to go to jail because of a phone-shot 6MB video; at least let it be my high-quality video.” The audience erupted in laughter as he mocked the idea of denying involvement by saying, “Yeh main thodhi hun, yeh Samay Raina hai.”
Varun further pointed out how people once warned him about the risks of political comedy. “They told me my show might get banned. Now, their shows are shut down instead,” he said, drawing cheers from the crowd.
In a final punchline, he took a playful dig at Ranveer Allahbadia’s onscreen persona BeerBiceps, saying, “His show should have been banned for the name itself. It sounds like a pornstar from Gurgaon.”
His remarks, filled with sarcasm and irony, have sparked discussion on social media, with fans praising his fearless take on the controversy.
