A casual gym video featuring Samay Raina and Varun Dhawan has suddenly become one of the most talked-about entertainment moments online. What started as a simple promotion for Varun’s new song “Wow” quickly turned viral after Samay roasted the track with his signature dry humor. The funny exchange, celebrity reactions from Karan Johar and others, plus the buzz around Varun’s upcoming film Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai, has made fans curious to know the full story. Now social media is flooded with memes, reactions and discussions around the unexpected moment.
What Samay Raina Said To Varun Dhawan In Viral Gym Video
The viral clip starts with Varun Dhawan promoting his new song “Wow” from the upcoming film Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai. He sings a few lines and tries to get Samay involved in the moment, expecting him to continue the hook line.
But instead of promoting the song with him, Samay casually interrupted and said:
“Aise nahi chalega gaana yaar.”
Varun quickly replied saying he thought songs like this work, but Samay continued with his now-viral line:
“Accha gaana banao, apne aap chalega yaar.”
That one sentence instantly became the highlight of the video. Varun looked surprised for a second but quickly laughed, which made the interaction feel natural and unscripted. Later, even Varun joined the fun and posted the clip with the caption:
“What an a**hole wow.”
People online said this is exactly the kind of dry humor Samay Raina is known for.
Karan Johar Gauahar Khan And Arjun Kapoor Reaction On Video
The moment became even bigger after Karan Johar reacted online with laughing emojis. Since Varun Dhawan and Karan Johar have worked together since Student of the Year, fans quickly noticed the reaction.
But Karan was not the only celebrity reacting.
Gauahar Khan commented:
“Hahahaha I love Samay.”
Arjun Kapoor jokingly called Samay the “Marketer of the year,” while Janhvi Kapoor teased Varun about his gym outfit and asked why he was wearing an “Iron Man design” on his chest.
These reactions made the clip spread even faster because fans enjoyed seeing Bollywood celebrities openly laughing at the roast instead of getting offended.

Samay Raina Comeback After India’s Got Latent Controversy
This viral moment is also important because it comes after a difficult phase in Samay Raina’s career.
Following the controversy around India's Got Latent and comments linked to Ranveer Allahbadia, Samay stayed away from the spotlight for some time. Many people wondered if he would slow down publicly after the backlash.
But recently, Samay returned strongly with his stand-up special “Still Alive” on YouTube. In the special, he spoke openly about dealing with criticism, online pressure and the aftermath of the controversy. The video received massive support from viewers and crossed more than 60 million views.
Before this Varun Dhawan moment, Samay had also roasted comedian Sunil Pal on The Great Indian Kapil Show, which again became popular online.

Supporting cast includes:

Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai Story And Song Details
Fans are also searching for details about the movie’s storyline after the viral promotion clips.
The film follows a man named Jass, played by Varun Dhawan, who gets stuck managing two romantic relationships at the same time. That confusion creates a full comedy-of-errors situation, which is a style David Dhawan is famous for.
The title itself comes from the popular song from Biwi No.1 starring Salman Khan, Sushmita Sen and Karisma Kapoor.
The song “Wow” features Varun alongside Mrunal Thakur and Pooja Hegde. Sung by Harrdy Sandhu and Kiran Bajwa, the track already has dance reels trending online because of its catchy hook step and upbeat vibe.
Fans Reaction On Samay Raina And Varun Dhawan Video

Many fans commented:
- “Samay bhai spoke facts.”
- “Varun handled this really well.”
- “This promotion was more entertaining than interviews.”
- “The roast made me check the song actually.”
On Reddit especially, users started turning the dialogue into memes within hours. Some fans even joked that Samay accidentally became the best marketing strategy for the film.
At the same time, a few people felt the clip could be partly planned for engagement. But even those users admitted the interaction felt natural enough to enjoy.
