Samay Raina takes a dig at Aamir Khan after latter beats him at chess: ‘Kabhi kabhi Laal Singh Chaddha bhi ho jata hai'

Hindustan Times2 days ago
Bollywood actor Aamir Khan recently sat down for a casual yet competitive game of chess with comedian and YouTuber Samay Raina, and the entertaining match has now surfaced on Samay's Instagram profile. Aamir Khan and Samay Raina played chess
As the game was about to begin, Aamir, clearly enjoying the moment, turned to the people filming and declared, 'Record karo. Maar raha hu isse. Adha ghanta khelenge hum log.' (Record this. I'm beating him. We'll play for half an hour.)
The match saw Aamir making quick, confident moves, while Samay attempted to keep up. After a misstep from the comedian, Aamir didn't miss the chance to comment, saying, 'Gadbad kar di tune mere dost.' (You've made a mistake, my friend.) As Samay tried to figure out what went wrong, Aamir added, 'Abhi itna kacha bhi nahi hun bhai.' (I'm not that amateur, brother.)
In a light moment, Samay cracked a joke mid-game to throw Aamir off, but the actor wasn't having it. 'Sun abhi confuse nahi karna,' he said. (Listen, don't confuse me now.)
Eventually, Aamir emerged victorious. With a wide smile, he said to Samay, 'Aamir Khan se haara hai, khush hona chahiye tereko.' (You've lost to Aamir Khan, you should be happy.) Samay, never one to miss a punchline, replied, 'Koi nahi sir. Kabhi kabhi Laal Singh Chaddha bhi ho jata hai.' (It's alright sir. Sometimes things turn into Laal Singh Chaddha too.)
As he left the scene, Aamir made sure the moment would make it to the internet. 'Tu daalega yeh, make sure that he puts it,' he said.
The clip also features a short interaction between Samay and a fan, who approached him saying he was a big admirer of India's Got Latent, Samay's now-deleted YouTube reality show. The fan even performed impromptu, though Samay didn't seem too impressed.
The timing of the video is notable, as Samay is currently touring the UK with his stand-up set following a setback in India. His YouTube show ran into controversy after an episode featuring Ranveer Allahabadia, Apoorva Mukhija, and others led to multiple FIRs for objectionable content. In response, Samay removed all episodes and cancelled several performances across India.

Pirate Software claims being made 'the villain' boosted petition's momentum as Stop Killing Games hits 1 million signatures

(Image via YouTube/Pirate Software) The Stop Killing Games petition has now surged past a million signatures, but there's an unexpected twist. It's not just about the milestone. Jason 'Thor' Hall, popularly known as Pirate Software, the vocal critic of this moment, claims that social media backlash against him painted him as an antagonist, but truly, that turbocharged the momentum of the SKG movement. Such a counter-intuitive argument added a dramatic layer to the fight to preserve access to the purchased games. Pirate Software claims the villain narrative ignited support in the Stop Killing Games favour Pirate Software has directly countered the claims that his critical analysis video damaged the SKG petition. He presented some data and suggested that interest was already waning before he commented on the issue. He further made a striking assertion, saying the campaign gained crucial traction as supporters rallied against him. Hall bluntly stated about social media, "My videos do not seem to have had any impact on the movement at all.' 'Making me the villain did, though," he further added, suggesting that the controversy which surrounded his stance and all subsequent online firestorm that labelled him an opposition, quite seemingly unified SKG supporters. The common enemy effect, in a manner, injected fresh energy and helped propel the petition to reach its landmark of a million signatures. How did fans react to Pirate Software not being a villain narrative? The online response to Hall's claim was a whirlwind. The fans, as usual, remain divided. While some accused him of muddying up the waters, the supporters did defend him and his perspective, with a user noting that Louis disapproved of the pile-on that's against him. The others even acknowledged Pirate Software's value to developers and urged collaborations. The comment read, 'You brought up some good points, and you should work with the movement instead of against it IMO. Developers like you should have a voice in this.' It further added, "We need pple like you pirate,' showing support to Hall. A user even said that they saw many creator videos, and he was surprised how people were not able to relate to what Hall was trying to say through his video. As per the user, he was 'speaking about it as a dev from a dev PoV and simply almost no gamer could relate…' While some followers felt that Pirate Software's impact on the movement was undeniable, despite his denial, others just ignored everything with a one-word, 'Sure…' Not all stood with Pirate Software, though, and skepticism did kick in. There were direct attacks made on Pirate Software. A user on his post commented, 'Just stop man , just stop killing games.' Many X users even saw a broader human tendency here at play. As per their observation, 'People love drama and they love having a villain to hate.' While the other added, 'People just look for a scapegoat when their stupid things start failing.' The idea that Pirate Software became an unintentional catalyst resonated with many. Some even theorized that he was just a convenient target who got in the middle of the drama, due to his firm stand. As per them, people needed a bogey man and they latched on to him. Stop Killing Games is not an easy fight. Beyond all drama, there is the core aspect that was in the middle of the discussion. It's about the petition's core challenge- European Union copyright law. While many legal experts and Pirate Software pointed out that the goal of SKG is to force publishers to release tools that allow games to work offline indefinitely, their stance clashes fundamentally with the EU directives, which protect Digital Rights Management (DRM). The Information Society Direction of the EU mandates a strong legal shield against circumventing DRM, the action needed to preserve many games after they are shut down. Also, the existing EU consumer laws are focused on upfront information and product conformity at the purchase, and not perpetual service obligations. To grant SKG's demand would need a radical and legally complex overhaul of all established intellectual property and contract law hierarchies in the EU, which is far beyond what the petition could achieve alone. The reality presents many hurdles, irrespective of the signature count. It shows and proves that the fight is just far from over.

Munawar Faruqui married Mehzabeen for his son Mikael, didn't know he would tie the knot until a month prior: ‘Did it for him'

During his time in the Bigg Boss house, actor-comedian Munawar Faruqui stayed in the limelight for his controversial love life, and he also battled some accusations of cheating on his then girlfriend. But, soon after Bigg Boss ended in January 2024, Munawar surprised his fans and followers as he got married to Mehzabeen Coatwala. During his recent appearance on Farah Khan's YouTube channel, Munawar opened up about his decision to get married. He got married in May 2024 and shared with Farah that the wedding was fixed just a month prior. When Farah asked if he knew his wife-to-be while he was in the Bigg Boss house, he said, 'No.' Farah was surprised to know that Munawar tied the knot with Mehzabeen within five months of knowing her. Munawar then shared how he came upon the decision of getting married. 'When I came out of Bigg Boss, I was working a lot. Mikael was living with my sister then. He was with me for a week and we spent a lot of time together and when he was leaving, I felt like I don't want him to go. I felt that he needs me. He kept hugging me the whole time,' he shared as he spoke about his seven-year-old son from his first wife. Munawar shared that he essentially got married for the sake of his son. 'When he was leaving, I felt like he needs me and more than him, I think I need him. In that moment. I thought what is it that I should do so I can make him stay with me. For him, I took that decision,' he said and added that his wife Mehzabeen was in a 'similar situation' as she too, has a 10-year-old daughter.

'I asked her the next day, 'Are you okay marrying me?' I stayed with that decision the whole night. I felt that Mikael should stay with me, I was just praying for that,' he said. Munawar was said to be dating Nazila Sitaishi while he was in the Bigg Boss house. During his time in the house, she broke up with him over Instagram Live. Munawar married Mehzabeen in a private ceremony and did not post any details about it on social media. In fact, days later, the news of his wedding leaked only after one of his fans posted details about the same on their social media. Actor Hina Khan also attended the wedding which led people to believe that Munawar was indeed getting married. During his stay in the Bigg Boss house, Munawar revealed that his ex-wife was already married and he had sole custody of his son.

I don't like it." Archana then screamed again at Ayushmaan and asked him to come back. 'Come back. Don't do this," she said. As Ayushmaan walked out of the sea, Archana told him, 'I actually get scared. There are currents in the sea. Do you know how many people drown at Aksa beach every year? This is a part of Aksa.

I don't because I know the name of the game is make a punch, get a laugh out of it, and move on," she told the Indian Express. 'Yes, I am paid to judge a comedy show, which is what I initially started doing with Comedy Circus. Now, I am paid to not judge Kapil's show, but to be a celebrity guest. I don't even know what my role is. Kapil only keeps joking. How am I paid to laugh? In a way, I am paid to enjoy the show, and because my enjoyment is very loud and spontaneous, it translates to I am paid to laugh," the actress added. First Published:
