Samay Raina on Diwali 2025
Samay Raina seems to be having a great time on Diwali 2025. Earlier on Dhanteras 2025, he bought himself a brand-new Toyota Vellfire, a luxury MPV worth about ₹1.3 crore. The stand-up comedian shared his excitement on Instagram, posting photos from the showroom.
One picture showed him posing beside the sleek black car. Another featured his smiling parents celebrating the purchase.
A short video also gave fans a glimpse of the car’s plush interiors and first-class features. The Toyota Vellfire, priced between ₹1.38 crore and ₹1.50 crore in India, comes with a hybrid engine and automatic transmission.
Samay Raina controversy
Many Samay Raina fans believe the stand-up comedian deserves a positive Diwali this year. Earlier this year, he was in serious trouble.
In February, Samay faced major controversy over his online talent show India’s Got Latent. An episode featuring YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia sparked outrage.
The video went viral, drawing criticism from the public, politicians and authorities. Several FIRs were filed against Raina, Allahbadia and others under obscenity laws.
The National Human Rights Commission and state police departments in Maharashtra and Assam launched investigations. Both creators were summoned by cyber cells and questioned.
Following the backlash, Samay Raina deleted all India’s Got Latent episodes. At the same time, he issued a public apology.
