Because same veteran actor who earlier attacked Samay’s comedy so harshly is now sharing screen with him in advertisement.
Just months ago,Mukesh Khanna had called Raina’s style unworthy and even compared him to a dog’s tail,basically saying he could never change . So when people saw both of them together in funny ad,social media reaction was obviously not going to stay quiet .
In clip,Samay Raina announces return of his show,India’s Got Latent , and then Mukesh Khanna suddenly appears . He playfully scolds Raina over his comedy style,and whole thing is clearly made like light-hearted joke around their past issue.
But tbh,this is where people are getting irritated .
Many users are saying how can someone publicly insult comedian one day and then do paid-looking collaboration with same person later . Not small thing ah,because Khanna was not mildly critical earlier,he was very sharp with his words.
Few things standing out in this whole mess:
- Mukesh Khanna earlier called Samay Raina’s comedy unworthy and compared him to a dog’s tail.
- Advertisement shows both of them doing humorous exchange around India’s Got Latent .
- Social media users are now questioning Khanna’s integrity and motive behind collaboration .
After ad went viral,criticism became louder . One user wrote,“ Shameless Mukesh Khanna doing an ad with Samay Raina. Where is his respect now? ” And honestly,many comments were running in same direction,asking whether respect changed because money entered picture.
This also shows weird side of entertainment industry . Public fights,insults,strong opinions,everything can suddenly become content if brand deal or promotion comes in between . Audience also remembers old statements now,so celebrities cannot just behave like nothing happened .
At same time,maybe ad was meant to show both have moved on and can joke about past controversy . But when earlier remarks were that harsh,people will naturally ask if this is maturity or just convenience only.
And that is what makes this whole situation awkward… if personal beliefs can change so quickly for professional collaboration,then how seriously should audience take any celebrity outrage next time?
