Samay Raina Defends Ashneer Grover's Behavior

Stand-up comedian Samay Raina recently addressed criticism surrounding BharatPe co-founder Ashneer Grover's behavior on the latest episode of India's Got Latent.

The episode featured actor and reality TV personality Rakhi Sawant as one of the panellists.

A fan took to social media to express their opinion about the judges, stating that Ashneer was acting cool and nonchalant.

Samay Raina responded to the criticism during an AMA session on Instagram, defending Ashneer and explaining why he felt the businessman was doing well during the episode.

He praised Ashneer's interaction with Rakhi, pointing out how their contrasting personalities worked well within the improv format.

Samay also highlighted a moment towards the end of the interaction, when Ashneer said, “toh chalo”, after reportedly appearing uncomfortable for nearly an hour.

According to Samay, the moment was a smart way of bringing the scene to an end.

Samay further addressed Ashneer’s reaction to a robot featured during the episode, stating that he viewed it as honesty rather than an attempt to appear cool.

He concluded that being honest, even when it goes against what others in the room may want to hear, takes much more strength than simply agreeing with everyone.

The upcoming episode of India's Got Latent season 2 will feature Deepak Kalal and Ravi Gupta, and will be exclusively available to members.

This episode will not premiere on Netflix and will only be accessible to subscribers who have purchased a membership.
