Pal’s remarks about Raina included a sharp critique of his comedic style, stating, “Well in a classy gathering you remember Ghalib. In their (Samay’s) gathering, it’s just nonstop abuse.” Raina countered by claiming that whatever abusive words he learned came from watching Pal’s videos.
Sunil Pal had previously called for serious consequences for social media figures promoting negativity. He emphasized that those who criticize others often have their own struggles, a comment directed at both Raina and Allahbadia.
