Samay Raina Sells Out Two Mumbai Shows, Draws 25,000 After Supreme Court Apology

His return follows an unconditional apology to the Supreme Court over the show's controversial remarks.

Overview

  • Raina thanked fans on Instagram, calling the two-night turnout in his home city overwhelming and saying "God has been kind."
  • In a sworn filing to the Supreme Court, he issued an unconditional apology and pledged content sensitivity, better conduct, and legal compliance.
  • The case traces to an India’s Got Latent episode featuring Ranveer Allahbadia’s inappropriate question to a contestant, which prompted nationwide condemnation and multiple FIRs.
  • His affidavit says a full transcript of an exchange with a visually impaired participant reflected encouragement, and that he later invited the person to perform in Mumbai to a standing ovation.
  • The tour began on August 15 in Bengaluru and is scheduled for Kolkata on Sept 6–7, Chennai on Sept 19–20, Pune on Sept 26–28, and three shows in Delhi on Oct 3–5.
