Dubai: Indian comedian and YouTuber Samay Raina has found himself at the centre of yet another viral social media storm. This time, claims surfaced online suggesting that his US visa had been revoked after a Donald Trump parody featured in the upcoming season of his controversial comedy show, India's Got Latent.The rumour spread rapidly across X, Instagram and Facebook, with several posts claiming that US President Donald Trump had personally taken offence to the parody and ordered action against the comedian. Some posts even circulated screenshots of an alleged Trump statement and claimed that Raina would no longer be allowed to perform in the United States.However, there is no evidence to support these claims.Fact-checks and media reports have reportedly found that neither the US government nor the State Department has issued any statement regarding Raina's visa status. There is also no official record suggesting that his visa has been cancelled. The viral screenshots being shared online appear to be fabricated. The controversy appears to have been triggered by a promotional clip from India's Got Latent Season 2, in which a contestant performed a parody resembling Trump. The clip quickly went viral, prompting speculation and misinformation online. But there has been no confirmation from any official US authority linking the parody to visa action against Raina.While the Trump administration has previously revoked visas in a handful of high-profile cases involving foreign nationals' public comments and social media activity, those actions were announced through official channels and were supported by documented government statements.In Raina's case, no such announcement exists.Who's Samay Raina?Samay Raina is an Indian stand-up comedian, YouTuber, and chess content creator who rose to fame after winning the second season of the comedy competition show Comicstaan in 2019.
