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.

Samay Raina Comeback After India’s Got Latent Controversy

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.
