'Aap Brush Kyun Nahi Karte?' Samay Raina Hits Back After Sunil Pal Calls Him ‘Atankvaadi’ On Kapil Sharma's Show
When The Great Indian Kapil Show dropped its special World Laughter Day episode, it wasn’t just another comedy night — it turned into a full-blown reunion loaded with history, tension and punchlines. Featuring Samay Raina and Ranveer Allahbadia as guests, the episode marked their first on-screen appearance together after the India’s Got Latent controversy, making it one of the most anticipated episodes of the season. But what added an unexpected twist was a cameo by veteran comedian Sunil Pal — someone who shares a long and complicated history with Samay.
Bringing that history into the spotlight, host Kapil Sharma joked about how Sunil had once labelled Samay the “aatankvaadi of comedy". Kapil said, “Sunil bhai jab bhi manch par jaate hain hamesha bolte hain main Sunil Pal comedy ka laal aur Samay ko ye comedy ka aatankvaadi bolte hain. Aisa kaun sa aapne inko munh se grenade phenkte hue dekh liya? Kuch vichaar aap pesh karein."
To this, Sunil Pal said, “Kapil bhai agar ye muh se grenade maar dete toh achha tha, lekin jo ye maarte hain woh nahi saha jaata hai. Jo samajh mein nahi aata woh samaj mein nahi aata hai. Aur jo samaj mein nahi aata woh toh aatankvaadi hi hota hai na?" (“Kapil bhai, if he actually threw grenades from his mouth, that would’ve been better—but what he does throw isn’t something you can tolerate. What people don’t understand doesn’t get accepted in society. And what isn’t accepted in society… that’s considered a terrorist, right?")
Samay then countered, “Inko mujhse itni hi dikkat hai ki main kya kahoon, muh se grenade maarta hoon, main kya boloon, bataaiye jo bhi dikkat hai," before taking a playful dig, “Main mele mein perform nahi karta hoon, main ulti-seedhi baatein karta hoon. Mujhe aapse koi dikkat nahi sir, bas ek hi hai — aap brush kyun nahi karte ho yaar" (“He has this much of a problem with me, what should I even say—that I throw grenades from my mouth? What should I say? Tell me whatever the issue is," before taking a playful dig, “I don’t perform at fairs, I talk nonsense. I have no problem with you, sir—just one thing: why don’t you brush your teeth?").
Keeping up the banter, Sunil quipped, “Brush karne ka zamaana chala gaya, main aaya hi yahan par polish karke hoon. Abhi bhi polish hee kar raha hoon" (“The era of brushing is over; I came here already polished. I’m still polishing myself").
Earlier, speaking at Chalchitra Talks, Samay Raina has said of Sunil Pal, “One thing I learned very early in life is that if somebody is saying shit about others, they are going through something. When I look at him, I never feel offended. It’s actually good for me, he’s talking about me."
“Mujhe bura lagta hai unke liye; something is bothering him, there are some insecurities. Woh aadmi mentally at peace nahi hai, and I feel bad for him. I wish he finds peace. Jo banda khud peace mein rehta hai, woh doosron ka peace kharab nahi karta. Jin logon ne humare baare mein Latent controversy ke dauraan bola, woh sab frustrated the. Kapil Sharma ne kuch bola kya? Kisi achhe actor ne kuch nahi bola, na? (I feel bad for him; something is bothering him, there are insecurities. He is not mentally at peace, and I genuinely feel sorry for him. I hope he finds peace)."
