Samay Raina References Kashmiri Pandit Exodus on India's Got Latent 2

Samay Raina References Kashmiri Pandit Exodus on India's Got Latent 2PreviousNext

During a members-only episode of India's Got Latent 2, comedian Samay Raina referenced his Kashmiri Pandit family's displacement during the 1990 exodus while discussing apple orchards with contestant Vanika Raikta. The moment turned light-hearted when Samay asked fellow panellist Munawar Faruqui to respond, who joked, "It wasn't me," prompting laughter. Samay has previously shared his family's experience of fleeing Kashmir amid militancy, highlighting the lasting impact of the exodus. The episode was later removed following controversies surrounding the show.
