Alia Bhatt: Actress Gives Witty Response To Money Question Regarding Samay Raina Show

Bollywood superstar Alia Bhatt is currently making headlines as she prepares to enter the prestigious Yash Raj Films Spy Universe with her upcoming film Alpha. The actress has been actively involved in promotional activities for this high-octane spy thriller, which is scheduled to hit theaters on 3 July 2026. As part of the promotional campaign, Alia recently made a surprise appearance on Samay Raina's highly popular and often controversial show, India's Got Latent 2. Her presence on such an unfiltered platform sparked significant curiosity among fans and students alike.

The Interaction at JECRC University Jaipur

Earlier this week, Alia Bhatt visited JECRC University in Jaipur to promote Alpha. She was accompanied by her co-star Sharvari Wagh. During an interactive session with the students, the atmosphere was filled with excitement. One student pointedly asked Alia how she agreed to participate in a show like India's Got Latent 2, which is known for its raw and unfiltered content. Before Alia could respond, someone from the audience shouted Paisa, implying that she might have taken money to appear on the show. Alia, known for her quick wit, laughed and immediately asked, Who said that? Some poor man? Her spontaneous and humorous response left the entire auditorium in splits.

Social Media Reaction and Samay Raina's Response

The video of this witty exchange quickly went viral across various social media platforms. Fans praised Alia for her presence of mind and her ability to handle such comments with grace and humor. Even the show's host, Samay Raina, noticed the viral clip. He shared the video on his Instagram story with the caption, Hahaha full kill. Social media users also joined in the fun, with one user commenting that this was a side effect of being around Samay Raina, while another noted that Alia is currently in full killing mode with her responses.
