Samay Raina Takes A Dig At Huma Qureshi's Box-Office Performance
During the episode, Samay teased Huma about Toxic's performance in theatres. He pointed out that guests usually appeared on India’s Got Latent before their films flopped, joking that Huma had done things the other way around.
He said, "Pata hai usually log yaha aate hain, fir unki movie flop hoti hi. Aap pehli ho jo movie flop karke aayi ho idhar." [Usually people come here after their movies flop, you're the first one to come here after delivering a flop movie.]
Huma was quick to respond with a sharp retort. She said, "Yaar hum toh khali film karte hain, jiska naam 'Toxic' hota hai. Tu toh life mai toxic hai." [Dude, we only make films with names such as 'Toxic'. You're toxic in real life.]
Samay laughed off the remark and replied, "Par mujhe dekhte toh hain." [Atleast people watch me.]
