Samay Raina had Varun Dhawan firmly in his crosshairs during the latest episode of India’s Got Latent Season 2. From Varun’s upcoming film Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai to nepotism, Border 2 and Bollywood’s star-kid culture, the comedian fired off one-liners while Varun played along and took the roasting sportingly.
India’s Got Latent Season 2 is once again making headlines for its unfiltered humour. The latest episode featured Varun Dhawan on the panel alongside Medha Shankr, Nishant Tanwar and Sharon Verma, with Samay Raina returning as host.
While the episode delivered plenty of chaotic moments, one of the biggest talking points was Samay’s relentless roasting of Varun Dhawan.
The comedian took aim at Varun’s films, his Bollywood background and even his upcoming projects, leaving the actor laughing through the jokes.
Samay Raina Takes A Dig At Varun’s ‘Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai’
During the episode, Samay appeared to mock Varun’s upcoming romantic comedy Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai.
Taking a dig at the actor’s filmography and Bollywood’s familiar practice of star kids entering the industry, Samay joked:
“Hai Papa director toh actor hona hi hai.”
The line drew laughter from the panel and audience as Samay appeared to reference Varun’s father, filmmaker David Dhawan, while joking about Varun’s journey in the Hindi film industry.
Varun, rather than getting defensive, appeared to embrace the nature of the show and went along with the jokes.
The moment became another example of the kind of no-holds-barred comedy that has become associated with India’s Got Latent.

Varun’s willingness to play along helped keep the exchange light-hearted, while the rest of the panel reacted to Samay’s increasingly savage observations.
Samay Raina Opens Up About Ahmedabad Shows

An Ahmedabad-based contestant urged people from the city to attend Samay’s live performances, saying:
“Ahmedabad, if you are watching this, please come to live shows. We really need you.”
Samay responded by revealing that he himself had not been able to perform there.
“Mere khud ke show nahi ho pa rahe hain Ahmedabad mein,” he said.
The comedian then folded his hands and made an appeal to the authorities.
“Ahmedabad authorities, if you are watching this, let me do shows in Ahmedabad.”
Samay also expressed his love for performing in Gujarat and asked the contestant to give him a shout-out as a Gujarati and Ahmedabad local.
Varun Dhawan Is Surprised By Samay’s Ahmedabad Revelation
Varun appeared surprised when Samay explained his situation.
He asked the comedian whether he had not toured Gujarat.
