‘Aap Brush Kyun Nahi Karte?’ Samay Raina Claps Back At Sunil Pal’s ‘Aatankvaadi Of Comedy’ Dig

Mumbai: Comedians Sunil Pal and Samay Raina took their off-stage feud to the spotlight during the ‘The Great Indian Kapil Show’s World Laughter Day special, turning the segment into a full-on roast.

Samay playfully hit back at Sunil’s earlier ‘aatankvaadi of comedy’ remark, asking why he doesn’t even brush his teeth.

Sunil, Samay and Ranveer Allahbadia appeared as guests in an episode of Kapil Sharma’s ‘The Great Indian Kapil Show’ to mark World Laughter Day.

During the conversation, Kapil brought up the controversial remarks that Sunil and Samay had made about each other in the past.

Stirring things up, Kapil joked that Sunil had once referred to Samay as the “aatankvaadi of comedy.”

Kapil asked Samay, “Sunil bhai jab bhi manch par jaate hain hamesha bolte hain main Sunil Pal comedy ka laal aur Samay ko ye comedy ka aatankvaadi bolte hain. Aisa kaun sa aapne inko munh se grenade phenkte hue dekh liya? Kuch vichaar aap pesh karein (Whenever Sunil bhai goes on stage, he always says, ‘I’m Sunil Pal, the pride of comedy,’ and calls Samay a ‘comedy terrorist.’ Why is that? Have you seen him throw a grenade from his mouth?)”

Sunil quipped, “Kapil bhai agar ye muh se grenade maar dete toh achha tha, lekin jo ye maarte hain woh nahi saha jaata hai. Jo samajh mein nahi aata woh samaj mein nahi aata hai. Aur jo samaj mein nahi aata woh toh aatankvaadi hi hota hai na? (Kapil bhai, if he actually threw grenades from his mouth, that would’ve been better – but what he does throw isn’t something you can tolerate. What people don’t understand and don’t get accepted in society. And what isn’t accepted in society… that’s considered a terrorist, right?)”

Samay hit back. “Inko mujhse itni hi dikkat hai ki main kya kahoon, muh se grenade maarta hoon, main kya boloon, bataaiye jo bhi dikkat hai. Main mele mein perform nahi karta hoon, main ulti-seedhi baatein karta hoon. Mujhe aapse koi dikkat nahi sir, bas ek hi hai – aap brush kyun nahi karte ho yaar. (He has this much of a problem with me, what should I even say – that I throw grenades from my mouth? I don’t perform at carnivals; I talk nonsense. I have no problem with you, sir – just one thing: why don’t you brush your teeth)?”

Sunil joked, “Brush karne ka zamaana chala gaya, main aaya hi yahan par polish karke hoon. Abhi bhi polish hee kar raha hoon (The era of brushing is over; I came here already polished. I’m still polishing myself).”

Samay and Sunil have had a strained equation for a while, with the latter taking digs at the former during the India’s Got Latent controversy.

Sunil had also criticised Ranveer over his controversial jokes.

In February 2025, in a scathing review of Samay’s comedy, Sunil had said, “I think that the time has come to take strict action against these so-called comedians who are actually not comedians but rather a blot on our societies. They are terrorists who use foul language and obscene content. They claim to be content creators, but they have no content and are not creators. I believe they should be punished with at least 10 years in prison for spreading such filth.”

He was referring to the controversy around Samay’s ‘India’s Got Latent’, where Ranveer had sparked outrage with jokes about parents and sex.

Sunil had also criticised the makers of ‘Kaun Banega Crorepati’, hosted by Amitabh Bachchan, for inviting them on the show.
