Comedian Samay Raina returned to his unfiltered self in a recent promotional video featuring social media personality RJ Mahvash, playfully referencing cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal and his ex-wife Dhanashree Verma.
The video, which doubles as an advertisement for Renée Cosmetics, quickly gained attention for its bold humor and witty references.
A Comedic Take on ‘Taboo’ Topics
In the ad, Samay Raina hosts a podcast-style conversation with Mahvash. His playful references to Chahal’s nickname “Yuzi” and the game show Rise and Fall, in which Dhanashree participates, kept Mahvash visibly flustered.
Highlights from the video include:
-
Samay joking about Chahal’s personal life, hinting at past controversies in a lighthearted manner.
-
Mahvash attempting to regain control with playful retorts, eventually revealing the setup as a branded content ad.
-
Samay sporting a T-shirt reading “Be your own sugar daddy”, referencing Chahal’s appearance at his divorce hearing.
Mahvash humorously exited the set, saying, “Iski bail kisne karayi?” (“Who bailed him out of jail?”), eliciting laughter from viewers.
Chahal Joins the Fun
Yuzvendra Chahal responded to the video via Instagram, sharing a screenshot of a video call with Samay, and jokingly wrote, “Be ready for one more case.” The light-hearted exchange reflects the cricket star’s sense of humor amid past controversies.
Background: Chahal and Dhanashree’s Marriage
Chahal married choreographer and reality show star Dhanashree Verma in 2020. They separated in 2024, with the divorce finalized earlier this year. Over the past year, Chahal has been seen with RJ Mahvash, though both parties have denied any formal relationship.
