Samay Raina reveals his opportunistic soul in the self-aggrandising comedy special Still Alive. We discuss his decision to portray himself as a victim, to conflate the suffering of his parents with his own, and the consequences of giving in to bullies while projecting himself as a martyr. We also compare his stance to that of his fellow comedian Kunal Kamra and discuss the differences between the YouTube version and the live performance.
