Comedian Samay Raina has donated Rs 10 lakh to the Assam Chief Minister's Relief Fund for flood relief, Times Now reports. Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma acknowledged the contribution on X, sharing the RTGS transaction advice and thanking Raina. The donation comes as around 1.55 lakh people remain affected across 13 districts. Raina had faced a case registered by Assam Police in February 2025 over an episode of India's Got Latent. Other celebrities have also stepped up: actor Kartik Aaryan donated Rs 1 crore, and Salman Khan's Being Human is coordinating relief in worst-hit areas.
