Comedian Samay Raina attended the screening of Aryan Khan’s directorial debut, The Ba***ds of Bollywood, on Wednesday evening in Mumbai. What caught the eyes of people on social media was this T-shirt and the words on it.
Samay Raina’s T-shirt a dig at Aryan Khan’s drug case?
Samay wore a simple black T-shirt with the words–say no to cruise, written on it. The words were seemingly a dig at Aryan’s cruise-drug case. In October 2021, Aryan Khan was embroiled in a high-profile drugs case after the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) raided a rave party on the Goa-bound Cordelia Empress cruise ship off the Mumbai coast.
About Aryan’s drug case
The ship, bound for Lakshadweep, became the centre of national headlines after Aryan, his friend Arbaaz Merchant, and several others were detained. Aryan was arrested by the NCB team, led by the ex-Zonal officer, Sameer Wankhede, in October 2021. He was released after spending more than three weeks in jail following his arrest. Later, Aryan was given a clean chit in the drugs case.
Reddit reacts to Samay’s T-shirt
Now, taking to Reddit, a person talking about Samay’s T-shirt said, “Oh God!!!!! Samay is born different. Who would have thought? I can’t stop laughing.” “He has guts. I know it’s cliche, but…. But bro should really hesitate,” read a comment. A Reddit user said, “Is it a dig at his drug case?” “Samay’s a different breed,” commented another person.
