After Calling Samay Raina ‘Kutte Ki Dum’, Mukesh Khanna Trolled For Teaming Up With Comedian For Ad

Mumbai: In a twist that nobody saw coming, veteran actor Mukesh Khanna and comedian Samay Raina have stunned social media users after appearing together in a brand advertisement—months after their fiery public exchange that once dominated online debates.

The unexpected collaboration has instantly gone viral, especially because the duo had previously engaged in a sharp war of words during the controversy surrounding India’s Got Latent.

At the height of the dispute, Samay Raina had taken a dig at Mukesh Khanna, referencing his iconic superhero role Shaktimaan, saying, “Shaktimaan agaya tha uss time… How do we fight Shaktimaan?” His comments also included sarcastic remarks about Khanna’s criticism of modern comedy content, which sparked strong reactions across social media.

Mukesh Khanna, widely respected for his portrayal of India’s beloved superhero Shaktimaan, responded sharply at the time. In a heated remark, he even suggested that the comedian should be “paraded on a donkey,” a statement that further escalated tensions between the two public figures.

Fast forward to now, the same two personalities are seen sharing screen space in a commercial project—something that has left audiences both surprised and divided. While some viewers are calling it a “smart marketing move”, others are questioning whether past tensions were too quickly set aside for publicity.

The advertisement itself has not only revived memories of their earlier feud but also sparked a wider discussion on how modern digital controversies often turn into unexpected collaborations in the entertainment industry.

Industry observers note that such surprising pairings are becoming increasingly common in the age of viral content, where online clashes can quickly transform into commercial opportunities.

However, neither Mukesh Khanna nor Samay Raina has issued any formal statement explaining how the collaboration came together or whether their earlier differences have been resolved.

What remains clear is that this unusual pairing has successfully captured public attention—turning a bitter exchange into one of the most talked-about advertising moments of the week.
