Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma thanked Samay Raina after the comedian donated ₹10 lakh to the flood-hit state. "Thank you for contributing...during this difficult time in Assam, Samay," wrote Himanta. His post went viral with fans reminding them of how Himanta publicly criticised Samay during 'India's Got Latent' row in 2025 and Assam Police booked the comedian and others involved.
