Renowned comedian Samay Raina, known for his sharp wit and candid humour, finds himself at the centre of another controversy. His highly anticipated ‘Unfiltered’ shows at Delhi’s Talkatora Stadium, scheduled for March 21 and 23, have been abruptly cancelled, leaving fans disappointed.
Both performances were sold out on BookMyShow, highlighting Raina’s massive fan following. However, ticket holders were taken by surprise when they received cancellation notifications just days before the event. BookMyShow confirmed the news via text messages, assuring customers that refunds would be processed within 7 to 10 working days.
Despite the sudden development, neither Samay Raina nor the ticketing platform has provided a reason for the cancellation, fueling widespread speculation.
This setback follows Raina’s recent brush with the controversy surrounding his digital talk show, India’s Got Latent. The show gained notoriety after a viral episode featuring internet personalities Ranveer Allahbadia (BeerBiceps), Ashish Chanchlani, and Apoorva Mukhija (The Rebel Kid). The episode sparked outrage due to allegedly inappropriate remarks made by Allahbadia regarding parental relationships and intimacy, which led to public backlash, legal complaints, and even a parliamentary discussion.
Raina has yet to make an official statement regarding the incident, but the controversy has already impacted his professional commitments. Last month, reports surfaced that his scheduled April performances in Gujarat were also scrapped following backlash.
While Raina has completed his Canada tour, his return to India has been anything but smooth. The unexpected cancellation of his Delhi shows raises questions about whether the controversy has played a direct role in derailing his upcoming performances.
Despite the turbulence, Raina’s loyal fanbase continues to support him, with many hoping he will soon break his silence and clarify his stance. Whether this incident marks a temporary setback or a major turning point in his career remains to be seen.
For now, fans await further updates from Raina and BookMyShow regarding the sudden cancellations and potential rescheduling of the shows.
