Sharma said the special episode was planned keeping the audience’s love for the show in mind.

“Humare show ko audience se jo pyaar mila hai, usse yahi motivation milta hai ki unhe fresh aur entertaining content diya jaye. World Laughter Day ke mauke par Netflix ke saath ek special episode plan kiya hai — natural, fun aur full of laughter (The love we have received from the audience for our show motivates us to keep giving them fresh and entertaining content. On the occasion of World Laughter Day, we have planned a special episode with Netflix – natural, fun and full of laughter),” he said.

“Is baar Samay aur Ranveer bhi apne andaaz mein jud kar is celebration ko aur engaging bana rahe hain. Bas itna hi chahte hain ki log humare saath hass kar is din ko enjoy karein (This time, Samay and Ranveer are also joining in their own style, making this celebration even more engaging. We just want people to enjoy this day by laughing along with us),” he added.

Raina and Allahbadia had courted a major controversy last year over remarks made on Raina’s YouTube show “India’s Got Latent”.

The comments had drawn widespread condemnation and multiple FIRs were filed against every comedian who was part of that particular episode.

The duo had subsequently apologised publicly for the remarks.
