Comedian Samay Raina has returned to his signature, unfiltered style, setting his sights on social media personality RJ Mahvash in a new video that leverages their public rumors for laughs. The clip features Samay repeatedly catching Mahvash off guard with playful references to her rumored partner, cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal, and his recent, high-profile divorce from ex-wife Dhanashree Verma. The surprising twist? The entire exchange is a cleverly crafted commercial, with Mahvash actively participating in the joke.
Samay Raina Unfiltered Self
The video, an advertisement for Renée Cosmetics, was jointly posted by both Samay and Mahvash on their Instagram handles.
The setting mimics a casual podcast interview.Samay immediately launches into the bit, welcoming Mahvash and proclaiming that his favorite letters of the alphabet are U and Z, a clear nod to Chahal’s nickname, “Yuzi.” A flustered Mahvash tries to regain control, asking if all his own personal affairs are sorted. Samay replies that they are now, but admits he experienced a bit of a “rise and fall” in between. This is a deliberate jab, referencing the name of the reality game show in which Dhanashree is currently a participant.
The comedian continues to pile on the subtle digs, claiming he was under significant stress for the “first two months,” a phrase he repeats for emphasis. This detail references Dhanashree’s recent claim on Rise and Fall that she caught Chahal cheating within the first two months of their marriage.
When Mahvash eventually asks Samay why he doesn’t have any filter, she then literally pulls out a beauty filter, revealing that the whole comedic interaction is an ad. As Mahvash seamlessly integrates product demonstrations into their banter, the tension builds for the final joke.
Samay suddenly removes his jacket, revealing a t-shirt printed with the phrase “Be your own sugar daddy.” This is a direct reference to a widely circulated photo of Chahal wearing the exact same controversial T-shirt while attending his divorce hearing earlier this month.
At this punchline, Mahvash dramatically gets up and walks away, delivering the exasperated final line: “Iski bail kisne karayi(Who bailed him out of jail).” This line humorously references Samay Raina’s own recent past, where he was embroiled in a legal case after a joke on the podcast India’s Got Latent led to court issues and the eventual shutdown of the show. Samay has since resumed his standup tours.
Yuzvendra Chahal’s Reaction to the Roast
The fun wasn’t limited to the skit. Samay later posted a screenshot on his Instagram Stories of a video call he had with Yuzvendra Chahal, showing the two laughing about the stunt. Chahal himself re-shared the video with a lighthearted threat, writing in jest, “Be ready for one more case.”
Yuzvendra Chahal, a renowned cricketer, and Dhanashree Verma, a choreographer and reality star, were married in 2020 before separating in 2024 and finalising their divorce earlier this year. The cricketer has been repeatedly seen with RJ Mahvash over the last year, though both have publicly denied that their relationship is romantic.
