In the midst of the growing controversy surrounding India’s Got Latent, comedian and show creator Samay Raina has found unexpected support in singer Tony Kakkar and he made sure to thank him publicly. The appreciation came to light through the release of Kakkar’s latest single ‘100% (Shat Pratishat)’, which includes a heartfelt voice message from Raina, addressing the artist directly.

The track opens not with music, but with Raina’s voice message to Tony. In it, Raina expresses sincere gratitude for Kakkar’s appearance on India’s Got Latent, calling it “inspiring” and reflective of the kind of support he hopes to give others if he reaches similar heights of fame. The message emphasizes the emotional significance of Kakkar’s gesture, especially in the current climate where the show is facing heavy backlash and legal scrutiny.
Kakkar, responding warmly, launches into his track with a dedication to Raina, signaling solidarity with the embattled comic. The lyrics of Shat Pratishat also take a subtle jab at critics and the backlash his family has faced, including a direct reference to his sister Neha Kakkar’s recent Melbourne concert controversy, where she was criticized for being late. “Neha Kakkar apne Melbourne concert par teen ghanta late. Janta ka foota gussa,” the song narrates, pointing to the social media outrage surrounding the incident.
The timing of the song and its layered references haven’t gone unnoticed. Many online have interpreted it as Tony’s creative response to the current wave of criticism, both towards himself and those in his circle.
