In a surprising turn for Indian comedy, Samay Raina and Sunil Pal faced off on The Great Indian Kapil Show, an episode already charged by Samay’s reunion with Ranveer Allahbadia following their 2025 India's Got Latent controversy. Despite Sunil Pal’s previous public crusades against Samay’s 'abusive' comedy style, their on-screen banter sparked social media theories that the veteran comic was brought on merely to be 'humiliated'.
Sunil Pal has since dismissed these claims, maintaining that the exchange was all in the spirit of the show. According to a report in Hindustan Times, Pal shared, "Main usko humiliation nahin maanta hun kyunki wo comedy show hai, and comedy show mein taang khichayi hoti rehti hai. Agar saamne aa jaye koi to aise maarne-kaatne to nahin daudenge, aisa to koi mann mutaav nahin hai."
"People will make jokes on each other, I made punchlines on him and he did the same. If it was a serious subject or a serious show, hamein shikayat karne ka haq bhi hota. Even Shah Rukh Khan (actor) becomes the butt of jokes on such a show, so mujhe koi shikayat nahin hai," he further added.

He continued, "I don’t have a personal beef with anyone. It’s just a difference in opinion, and it’s not just with Samay but with any of these gen-z comedians who use abuses and profane language. Main to kehta hun aapke paas itna potential hai, internet aur education ka access hai, aapko sab cheez ka knowledge hai, to aapke subject to aur badhiya hone chahiye."

The comedian concluded, "Audience tak acchi cheezein pahuchni chahiye kyunki wo unka haq hai, par ghum firkar, wahi gaali galauch jata hai aur usse mera dil dukhta hai. It’s only my request to all these young comics that since you have all this access, utilise it well. Hamare paas to itni suvidha thi nahin to hamein to adjust karna padta tha, tab bhi humne saaf suthri comedy ka daaman nahin choda."
