Samay Raina Apologizes to Supreme Court After Insensitive Disabled Jokes – Legal Sparks Fly!
YouTuber-comedian Samay Raina just took a dramatic bow—right in front of the Supreme Court—delivering an emotional apology after rubbing the highest court the wrong way with jokes about disability.
The apex bench reportedly tore into him and four other influencers over “unacceptable” comments made during India's Got Latent. Raina, visibly contrite, said: “Never intended to offend. I’m committed to inclusive, sensitive content. I’ll be more careful.” In a legal power move, he filed an affidavit outlining his philanthropy, noting ₹9 lakh donated and ₹23 lakh raised for noble causes.
If you’re wondering what this is about—here’s the scoop. The CURE SMA Foundation took offence over dark jokes mocking individuals with spinal muscular atrophy and blindness. The Supreme Court took a hard line, reminding creators that “commercial speech” doesn’t protect offensive jokes. They ordered Raina and co. to publicly apologize on their platforms.
Fans on social media weren’t shy with their reactions:
“Samay just got roasted by the Supreme Court—cc: all comedians.”
“He’s gave more drama in his apology than in any standup set yet.”
But the big cliffhanger? Will this humbling moment damage Samay’s edgy persona—or help him level up into a more respected voice? And will new guidelines follow to keep influencers from crossing the line again?
Stay tuned—this comedy-meets-court showdown has the entire internet buzzing.
