Tanmay Bhat on Ranveer Allahbadia's appearance at India's Got Latent: Kitna khush tha yaar uss din

Tanmay Bhat and Ranveer Allahbadia

The recent controversy surrounding Ranveer Allahbadia and Samay Raina has been making waves online, with many reacting to their legal troubles. Among them, comedian Tanmay Bhat, who is close to both Ranveer and Samay, shared his perspective on the situation in a recent video. His reaction, mixed with humor and nostalgia, offered an interesting take on the controversy.

Tanmay, known for his quick wit and comedic timing, reacted to Ranveer’s appearance on Samay Raina’s show.

Watching a clip where Ranveer was seen laughing and enjoying himself, Tanmay smiled and said, “Kitna khush tha yaar uss din.” This comment, though lighthearted, resonated with many as it highlighted the stark contrast between that moment of joy and the subsequent legal troubles both Ranveer and Samay found themselves in.

Bhat and his comedy panel took a humorous dig at the situation, joking that the clip of Ranveer on Samay’s show resembled a video montage often used in films to depict a character who had met an unfortunate fate. Adding to the humor, Tanmay quipped, “Behti hawa sa tha woh”—a reference to a Bollywood song that often evokes nostalgia and sentimentality.

The controversy stems from comments made by Ranveer and Samay during their appearance on India’s Got Latent, a show known for its edgy humor. However, their remarks led to a legal investigation, with Maharashtra Cyber officials questioning Ranveer for nearly two hours. According to reports, Ranveer admitted to his mistake during the questioning, stating that he attended the show because Samay Raina was his friend. Meanwhile, Samay, currently on tour in Canada for his Samay Raina Unfiltered show, has yet to issue a detailed statement.

Amid this situation, a fan asked in the comments of Tanmay’s video why he wasn’t taking a stand for Samay. Tanmay, who has himself been embroiled in past controversies, responded in his characteristic style, reading out the comment: “How come these people are not taking a stand for everything that’s happening?” This reminded many of the backlash Tanmay and fellow comedian Rohan Joshi faced after their infamous roast video.

Addressing the question, Tanmay gave an amusing yet insightful analogy. He said, “Whenever someone falls sick in your family, koi ajeeb bimari ho gayi toh you always remember, ‘Arre mere ek mamu the 7 saal pehle unko bhi yeh ho gaya tha.’ Phir tum unhe phone karte ho ki kaise hua tha.” He then added, “I am comedy’s patient zero.”

This comment not only reflected Tanmay’s own experience with controversies but also subtly acknowledged the cyclical nature of online outrage. Many fans appreciated his response, recognizing it as both self-aware and humorous.

As the controversy continues, it remains to be seen how Ranveer and Samay will navigate the situation. For now, Tanmay’s reaction provides a moment of levity in an otherwise tense scenario, reminding everyone that, at the end of the day, humor can be a way to cope with even the most difficult situations.
