Alia Bhatt calls Samay Raina’s ‘Still Alive’ ‘pure art’
In another viral clip from behind-the-scenes of the episode, Alia lavished praise on Samai’s stand-up special “Still Alive,” calling it “pure art.”Curious about the creative process behind the special, she asked Samay how the special was shot and edited.“So you do a special in multiple cities around the world – and then you take a version and put it out? So that version that we’re seeing has been performed a few times?” Alia asked.In response, Samay revealed that the suite had actually been played about 200 times before the final version was released.
Samay talks about emotional moments from special
Alia also wanted to know how Samai handled the emotionally charged parts of his performance. The comedian said that while much of the special was well-written and well-thought-out, there was one particular segment that was intentionally kept the same.“So what I’m going to do is I’m going to write and think about everything else in the special. Except for that big chunk. I never wrote that passage or thought about it offstage. I would do the part on stage and then put myself back in that room,” he explains.Samai further revealed that reliving these memories makes him emotional every time.“I used to think about that room and just putting myself in that room would make me cry every time,” he said, adding that he got emotional and cried during every performance of the segment.The premiere of the second season of Indian Submarine was met with overwhelming response and created a huge buzz among the audience. New episodes of the show will be released simultaneously on Samay Raina’s YouTube channel and Netflix every week.
