‘Dil ki ghanti bajayi hai’: Navjot Singh Sidhu pens note for Samay Raina after ‘Kapil Sharma Show’ appearance

Veteran politician and television personality Navjot Singh Sidhu is not one to hold back when it comes to expressing admiration, and his latest praise for comedian Samay Raina is proof of that. Following Samay’s recent appearance on The Kapil Sharma Show, Sidhu took to social media to share his excitement, calling the episode one of the most memorable experiences he has had in over two decades. Known for his poetic flair and larger than life expressions, Sidhu’s words have once again grabbed attention, especially among fans of comedy and the show.

Sharing a picture with Samay, Sidhu wrote, ‘This guy @maisamayhoon is incredible - the episode would rank among the top 5 that I have been part of in the last 21 yrs - just phenomenal energy! 2004 se lekar aaj tak maine hansi ke har rang dekhe hain, har andaaz tol ke dekha hai
Kapil Sharma aur Sunil Grover ke baad, 22 saalon ke is safar mein agar kisi ne mere dil ki ghanti bajayi hain….. toh woh hai Samay Raina!”

He further added, “Yeh ladka mic nahi pakadta… yeh mahaul pakad leta hai….
Iski baat teer nahi, tarkash hoti hai…. ek nikli toh seedha nishane pe, aur doosri taiyaar !!
Comedy ka badshah woh nahi jo sirf hasaaye… badshah woh hai jo waat ko apni hansi pe nachaaye….. aur yeh kaam yeh naujawan kar raha hai !!
“Gidhad ki maut aati hai toh shehar ki taraf daudta hai…… magar jab Samay Raina jaisa sher dahadta hai, toh poora zamana sajde mein gir jaata hai!’

Sidhu’s statement stands out not just for its intensity but also because of the high benchmark he sets. Having shared the stage with comedy giants like Kapil Sharma and Sunil Grover over the years, his comparison places Samay in a league that is both respected and competitive. For many, this endorsement signals a generational shift in Indian comedy, where newer voices are beginning to leave a strong and lasting impact.

Samay also reshared the said post on his Instagram stories and thanked Sidhu for his praises. “Thankyou so much Paji,” the comedian wrote as he reshared the video.

Not just this, for the unversed, Samay will also be seen reuniting with Ranveer Allahabadia on Netflix’s ‘The Kapil Sharma Show,’ following their infamous India’s Got Latent controversy earlier last year.

Samay Raina, who rose to prominence through his sharp observational humour and digital content, has steadily built a reputation for his quick wit and engaging stage presence. His stint on the show appears to have struck the right chord, not just with audiences but also with someone like Sidhu, who has witnessed the evolution of comedy up close.

With this kind of praise coming from a seasoned figure, the spotlight is now firmly on Samay. Whether this marks a turning point in his mainstream television journey remains to be seen, but for now, the moment clearly belongs to him.
