Sharing the ticket link on Instagram, Samay wrote, "India tour live now on @bookmyshowin."

The response from fans was huge, with Raina later posting, "The love is unreal. We have sold 40,000 tickets in an hour for the tour. That's a record. Thank you so much for the love, we will bring the house down."

His India tour comes shortly after Samay completed his international tour that began in Koln on June 5 and ended in Sydney on July 20, covering Europe, the UK, Australia, and New Zealand.

Earlier this year, Samay, along with Apoorva Mukhija, Ashish Chanchlani, and Ranveer Allahbadia, was named in an FIR for allegedly promoting obscene content on their show India's Got Latent. A viral clip featuring a joke from Ranveer sparked widespread criticism, leading to the controversy.
