Stand-up comedian Samay Raina, widely known for his YouTube series India’s Got Latent, recently received one of the most unforgettable gifts of his life from a supporter. In a recent podcast episode, Samay opened a package that contained Eminem-signed items—a t-shirt and cap—thanks to a fan’s considerate action. The comedian’s joyful and heartfelt response has since gone viral.
In the video, Samay is shown with his friend and fellow panelist on India’s Got Latent, Balraj Singh Ghai, talking about how a subscriber on the show gifted the one-of-a-kind present. While unboxing the package, Balraj shared the backstory. “There was someone who came on the show yesterday, and he was a pilot. He specifically went and got this gift and told me, ‘Please give it to Samay. It’s very expensive. Don’t give it to anyone else,’” Balraj recounted, leaving Samay both amazed and thrilled.
When Samay asked about the fan’s identity, Balraj displayed the marker used by Eminem to sign the merchandise. “I just got merchandise that was signed by Eminem,” Samay declared, excitedly showcasing the t-shirt and cap to the camera, still in disbelief.
