A video from comedian Samay Raina’s popular show, ‘India’s Got Latent’, is rapidly going viral on social media. In the clip, Bollywood actor Ayushmann Khurrana is seen discussing his upcoming film, ‘Udta Teer’. During the conversation, comedian Kullu cracked a joke that brought up singer Adnan Sami’s name. Now, Adnan Sami himself has responded to the video in a humorous manner.
Ayushmann Reveals the Story of ‘Udta Teer’
Ayushmann Khurrana appeared on the show as a panelist, alongside comedians Kullu and Rajat Sood, and mentalist Suhani Shah. During the discussion, Samay Raina asked Ayushmann about the plot of his upcoming film, ‘Udta Teer’.
Ayushmann explained that the film is a patriotic spy comedy. He plays the role of a Pakistani spy who comes to India. After an accident, he loses his memory and begins to believe he is Indian. He retains his sense of patriotism but forgets which country he originally belongs to.
Kullu Jokes by Mentioning Adnan Sami
Upon hearing Ayushmann’s description, comedian Kullu immediately quipped, “That’s Adnan Sami.” This one-liner drew laughter from the panel. The clip subsequently went viral after being shared on social media.
The audience understood the joke, given the widely known public narrative surrounding Adnan Sami’s citizenship. After the video went viral, Adnan Sami himself responded to it.
Adnan Sami’s Humorous Reply
In the video’s comment section, Adnan Sami wrote, “Get the rights from me first, and then make the film!!!!” His reply also became a topic of discussion on social media. Adnan Sami acquired Indian citizenship through the process of naturalization in early 2016; prior to this, he held Pakistani citizenship. This shift in his citizenship status has long been a subject of public discussion.
