The ongoing disagreement between comedians Sunil Pal and Samay Raina shows no signs of resolution. Following a revival of Raina’s joke concerning oral hygiene on the premiere episode of India’s Got Latent Season 2, Pal has issued his own pointed retort. The back-and-forth appears to have escalated, highlighting a long-standing tension between the two performers.

Sunil Pal showcased his response in an Instagram Reel alongside mimic Jay Verma, who is recognised for his impressions of Raina’s style and mannerisms. In the shared video, Verma mimics Raina while Pal addresses the recurring humour centred around his dental condition, marking another chapter in their public feud that originated last year.

In the clip, Sunil Pal offers a playful yet critical commentary directed at Raina, stating, “I forgive you, Samay Raina, only because your show drops at night,” elaborating on Raina’s name meaning night. The joke is followed by a more direct engagement with the “brush” joke that’s become emblematic of their rivalry.

Background of Their Feud

The discord between Pal and Raina first emerged last year when Pal publicly condemned the language presented in the initial season of India’s Got Latent, labelling it as inappropriate. He recommended that Raina learn from Kapil Sharma, a figure well-regarded in clean comedy circles. This criticism appears to have set the stage for ongoing exchanges.

Earlier in the current year, Samay Raina retaliated during his comeback special, Still Alive, in which he took aim at Pal. He asserted that Kapil Sharma expressed interest in appearing on Raina’s show, while also implying that Pal exhibited signs of insecurity and frustration. This episode highlighted the escalating tension between the two comedians.

In a recent face-to-face encounter on The Great Indian Kapil Show, Sunil reiterated his critiques of Raina’s comedic style. In a humorous exchange, Raina quipped, “Ye sab toh theek hai, aap ye batao ki aap brush kyun nahi karte?”—a reiteration of his previous comment about Pal’s dental hygiene. Kapil Sharma encapsulated the moment by urging Sunil to forgive Raina, to which Pal responded as a senior comic, expressing the desire to offer guidance instead.

India’s Got Latent Season 2 Launches

The premiere of India’s Got Latent Season 2 occurred on June 21, 2026, available both on Netflix and Samay Raina’s YouTube channel. During the episode, the recurring joke about dental hygiene was revisited when a contestant shared her preferred toothpaste brand, prompting Raina to suggest she share it with Sunil Pal as well. This moment encapsulated the culmination of their ongoing dispute, highlighting its relevance in the show’s narrative.

The new season has reportedly maintained the same format and runtime across both platforms. While Netflix offers an ad-free viewing experience, the YouTube version retains an interactive comment section, allowing for viewer engagement. The premiere episode featured appearances from actors Alia Bhatt and Sharvari, who promoted their upcoming film, a spy thriller titled Alpha.

India’s Got Latent Season 2 has received a positive reception, quickly ascending to the No. 1 title on Netflix India shortly after its release. New episodes are set to premiere every two weeks, continuing the show’s unfiltered, authentic style as articulated by its host, Samay Raina.
