Mukesh Khanna slams Samay Raina after the standup comedian mocks him in ‘Still Alive’ special; says 'Gandagi Ki Aag Mein Jalaya Hua...'

Samay Raina, who was in the news due to the ‘India’s Got Latent’ controversy, has now grabbed attention again with his new video Still Alive, which is trending online. In his comeback special, he spoke about different aspects of his life, including his family background and the support he received during difficult times. The standup comedian also took a dig at veteran actor Mukesh Khanna's iconic 90s character Shaktimaan in his latest Still Alive show.

Now, Mukesh has strongly reacted to the video through his social media account and slammed Samay for his remark. The seasoned actor took to X, formerly called Twitter, where he said that Samay should sit on a donkey and tagged him as a “Kutte ki dum” (a dog’s tail).” He also shared the same reaction on his Instagram account.





The message read: “Kutte ki dum tedhi rehti hai. Use lakh sheeshiyo main rakho. Baahar nikaalo. Fir tedhi ki tedhi. Samay Raina ki bhi ek dum hai. Kitna bhi maaro, seedha karo, woh waapas tedhi ho jaati hai… A dog’s tail stays crooked. Keep it locked in a thousand bottles— take it out. still crooked. Samay Raina has the same tail. No matter how much you try to fix it, straighten it.”

“Kiyunki woh seedha prani nahi hai. Woh roasted prani hai. Gandagi ki aag main jalaya hua. Pakaya hua. Poore desh ne latara, maara, fir bhi aa gaya besharmo ki tarah. (Because he isn’t simple or straight. He’s a roasted kind of being— burnt, baked in the fire of his own filth. The whole country called him out. Dragged him, slammed him— yet he came back again, shamelessly, almost asking for it again.)”

Samay Raina recalls suffering from an anxiety attack amid India’s Got Latent controversy; says, “I took half a bottle of sleeping pills, felt like my heart could stop anytime”

Mukesh ended the post: “Aur maar khaane. Ab ek hi cheez baaki hai. Uska mooh kaala kar gadhe par bitha kar desh bhar ke shehro main gaaliya uski parade karni chahiye. Jahan bachche usko ande, tamatar maare. Kiyuni usne unke superhero shaktimaan ka apmaan kiya hai. (And now it’s the same story—nothing changes, nothing straightens. All this noise, all this backlash, because he took a shot at people’s superhero, Shaktimaan.)”

Mukesh’s statement comes days after Samay spoke about “irrelevant people” tried to grab the spotlight amid his India’s Got Latent controversy.

He said: “Shaktimaan aagaya tha yaar. Shaktimaan se kaisai ladengay. Tune bacche maare hai, tu kya moral high ground lekar baitha hai.”
