The 28-year-old comedian took to Instagram asking fans to watch it through official channels instead of pirated copies. 

He admitted he used to rely on torrents too back in college days when he couldn't afford to pay for entertainment, but said things changed once he started earning. 

Sharing his own story, India's Got Latent's host explained that he now buys games on Steam and watches films on official platforms because creators deserve to get paid for their work.

Samay further said, "Agar aapko poora episode dekhna hai, you can take my membership, jiska link mere bio mein hai." 

He added that people keep telling him they've already watched it through torrents or Google Drive, but said, "Jab main college mein tha, tab main bhi torrents se hi dekhta tha... lekin ab jab main earning kar raha hoon, to main khud ke paise se cheezein khareedta hoon."

He asked those who can afford it to buy the membership, which starts at Rs 59 a month (Rs 79 on iPhone), instead of downloading it illegally. 

For those who can't afford it, Samay Raina switched to a viral audio clip instead of finishing the thought himself.

Season 2 of India's Got Latent premiered on June 20, 2026, on Netflix and YouTube, with earlier episodes featuring Alia Bhatt, Kiku Sharda, Tanmay Bhat and others.
