The Samay vs Ranveer moment isn’t cooling down anytime soon — it’s just getting more interesting.
After Samay Raina took a cheeky dig at Ranveer Allahbadia in his comeback special Still Alive, Ranveer has now responded — not directly, but in a way that’s clearly got people talking.
Ranveer’s “It’s My Time” Moment
Spotted in a paparazzi video, Ranveer kept things light but didn’t shy away from the attention around the controversy.
When a photographer praised him, he playfully asked to be called “funny” instead — a line that didn’t go unnoticed given the context. But things got sharper when Samay’s name was brought up.
Ranveer brushed it off with a smirk:
“Samay… kaun Samay? Kya Samay? Humara time. It’s our time, my time is now.”
It wasn’t aggressive, but it wasn’t accidental either. The tone made it clear — he’s choosing confidence over confrontation.
Positivity, Humor — And A Measured Response
In another clip, Ranveer leaned into a calmer message.
He spoke about staying positive, keeping a sense of humour, and not letting negativity take over. It sounded less like a rebuttal and more like a repositioning — shifting the narrative away from controversy toward personal growth.
But given the timing, it still felt like a response.
What Triggered This Exchange
The whole conversation traces back to Samay Raina’s new special, where he revisited the fallout of the India’s Got Latent controversy.
In his signature style, Samay joked that Ranveer had “ruined his mental health,” even calling him “the monk who sold my Ferrari” — a line that instantly caught attention online.
He also claimed that Ranveer repeated the controversial “parents and sex” question multiple times during the show, though only one version made it to the final edit — which eventually sparked massive backlash.
The Controversy That Still Lingers
For context, the India’s Got Latent episode featuring Ranveer, Ashish Chanchlani, and Apoorva Mukhija led to serious fallout last year.
The remarks made during the show triggered outrage, FIRs were filed, and the entire series was eventually pulled down from YouTube. Ranveer issued a public apology, while Samay had to take down episodes amid growing pressure.
Since then, both have been navigating their comeback in different ways — Samay through comedy, Ranveer through controlled public appearances and his podcast return.
Where Things Stand Now
This isn’t a full-blown feud — at least not yet. It’s more like two very different responses to the same storm.
Samay is leaning into humour, turning controversy into content. Ranveer, on the other hand, is playing it cool, choosing subtle jabs and a positivity-driven image.
And right now, both seem to agree on one thing —
“Samay chal raha hai.”
