Raina and Ranveer Allahbadia are set to have the most unexpected reunion on The Great Indian Kapil Show. In a promo that revealed the special episode, Samay and Ranveer are shown to react to seeing each other in the same manner, as viewers are possibly reacting. The two are believed not to share a friendly rapport ever since their infamous India’s Got Latent controversy hogged headlines in 2025, giving way to a lot of back-and-forth public remarks and digs towards each other. However, it seems like comedian-TV host Kapil Sharma has managed to crack the code of getting them on the same couch together again.

He says he has not been informed about his co-guest and was waiting eagerly to know who he's set to appear in the episode with. Just then, Ranveer walks into frame, cheering and laughing, as Samay is left shocked and visibly disappointed. "No way bro," he says before stepping out. While the exchange hints at a funny episode, it also takes a cue from their recent real-life clash.
