Comedian Samay Raina is known for surprising his fans in unexpected ways, and this time he has done something that has taken over social media conversations. He has booked out an entire cinema hall in Mumbai to watch Alia Bhatt and Sharvari Wagh's spy thriller Alpha, and 250 of those tickets are going straight to his fans, completely free of cost.
What Samay Raina said in his Instagram story
Raina shared the update through a story on his official Instagram account on Saturday night. He wrote that he would be watching Alpha in Mumbai the next day and had booked the whole theatre for the screening. He added that he would personally send tickets over WhatsApp to 250 lucky winners among his followers. The only condition, he said, is that the fan's name must already be registered on his pre-sale list.
A thank-you gesture for Alia and Sharvari
Raina explained that the entire gesture is his way of thanking Alia Bhatt and Sharvari Wagh. He wrote that both actresses were so cool to appear as guests on the first episode of his show, and this was his small way of showing them love. He added that he adores both of them and is extremely excited to watch their film, signing off by telling fans he would see them the next day.
The India's Got Latent 2 connection
The gesture traces back to Alia Bhatt and Sharvari Wagh's appearance on the first episode of Samay Raina's show, India's Got Latent 2, where they had gone to promote Alpha. Their easy chemistry and banter with Raina during the episode was widely loved by viewers. Recalling that moment, Raina decided to book an entire theatre in Mumbai and watch the film alongside his fans as a thank-you. Once the news broke, fans rushed to try and get their hands on the free tickets, sparking a wave of chatter across social media.
