# Samay Raina’s Kashmir remark puts Munawar Faruqui on the spot 2026-08-06T20:46:05+00:00 | Entertainment | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet A clip from a members-only episode of India’s Got Latent season two is circulating online after Samay Raina referred to his family’s past in Kashmir. When Raghav Juyal asked about Raina’s apple orchard there, Raina replied, “Hamara toh bahut kuch tha.” He then turned to Munawar Faruqui and said, “Bol ab ispe,” prompting laughter. Faruqui replied, “It wasn’t me.” Hindustan Times reports that the exchange was widely seen as a reference to the displacement of Kashmiri Pandits during the insurgency. Raina, who comes from a Kashmiri Pandit family, has discussed the subject in his stand-up show. The episode has not yet appeared on Netflix. India’s Got Latent returned after its 2025 controversy involving Ranveer Allahbadia, which led to FIRs and the removal of episodes from YouTube. ## Coverage - hindustantimes.com Tags: India’s Got Latent, Kashmiri Pandits, Munawar Faruqui, Samay Raina Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/samay-rainas-kashmir-remark-puts-munawar-faruqui-on-the-spot/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
