Guwahati : Comedian and content creator Samay Raina has stepped forward to support people affected by the devastating floods in Assam.
The comedian has donated ₹10 lakh to the Assam Chief Minister’s Relief Fund, contributing to ongoing relief efforts for families facing the impact of the floods.
The donation has received attention across social media, particularly after Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma publicly thanked Raina for his contribution.
The gesture comes at a time when several parts of Assam are dealing with flooding and residents need essential support.
Samay Raina Extends Support to Assam
Samay Raina is known for his stand-up comedy and digital content, but his latest gesture has put the focus on his humanitarian side.
By contributing ₹10 lakh to the relief fund, Raina has joined several public figures who have come forward to support Assam during the difficult situation.
The money donated to the relief fund can contribute toward assistance for people affected by the floods, including essential supplies and rehabilitation-related efforts.
For many people, such contributions can provide much-needed support when homes, livelihoods and daily life have been disrupted by flooding.
Himanta Biswa Sarma Thanks Samay Raina
Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma acknowledged Raina’s contribution and expressed his appreciation for the comedian’s support.
The Chief Minister’s response quickly attracted attention online.
While many people praised Raina for helping flood-affected families, the conversation soon moved toward an earlier controversy involving the comedian.
Internet Users Bring Up the Earlier FIR
After the Chief Minister thanked Raina, some social media users asked him to withdraw the FIR against the comedian.
The FIR relates to the controversy surrounding Raina’s YouTube comedy show India’s Got Latent.
The controversy erupted in 2025 following remarks made during an episode featuring YouTuber and podcaster Ranveer Allahbadia.
The incident resulted in police complaints and legal proceedings involving Raina, Allahbadia and others.
However, the social media requests to withdraw the FIR should not be confused with an official government decision.
Raina’s donation does not mean that the FIR has been withdrawn or that the legal proceedings have automatically ended.
Randeep Hooda and Bhumi Pednekar Also Support Assam
Samay Raina is not the only celebrity who has stepped forward amid the Assam flood situation.
Actor Randeep Hooda has also participated in relief activities in Assam and helped bring attention to the difficulties faced by people in flood-affected areas.
Actress Bhumi Pednekar has likewise used her public platform to raise awareness about the flood situation and encourage support for affected communities.
The involvement of celebrities has helped bring greater attention to the crisis and encouraged more people to contribute toward relief efforts.
Assam Flood Crisis Needs Continued Support
Flooding can severely affect people’s homes, businesses, farms and everyday lives.
For families already struggling with the consequences, access to food, clean water, shelter and medical assistance becomes particularly important.
Relief funds and donations can help support emergency assistance as authorities and organisations work to reach affected communities.
Samay Raina’s ₹10 lakh contribution has therefore become an important part of the wider conversation around helping Assam during this difficult period.
Social Media Reaction to the Donation
Raina’s donation received a mixed but largely supportive response online.
Many users appreciated his decision to contribute such a significant amount toward flood relief.
At the same time, some users used the opportunity to bring up the comedian’s previous legal controversy and asked the Assam Chief Minister to reconsider the FIR.
The two issues, however, remain separate. The donation is a humanitarian contribution, while the FIR is a legal matter that can only be dealt with through the appropriate authorities and legal process.
Conclusion
Samay Raina’s ₹10 lakh donation to Assam flood relief has earned appreciation from Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma and generated significant discussion on social media.
While some internet users are asking for the earlier FIR against Raina to be withdrawn, there has been no confirmed announcement that the FIR has been cancelled.
The immediate focus remains on supporting people affected by the Assam floods.
