As a result, he is now getting severely criticised on Twitter.

"Men and their audacity," wrote a Twitter user quoting his tweet.

"Hon, are you sure it's a joke? At this point in our cultural turmoil? Surely sure?" asked another user.

"'take it as a joke' um where is the joke?" asked another one.

"We need abortion rights because god forbid your kid might turn out to be a indian male stand up comedian called samay raina," said another fan.

Some people found his replies to tweets criticising him and the abortion joke even worse.

  

Talking about his foray into comedy and conservative background, Samay Raina had told Indian Express, "I come from a conservative Kashmiri Pandit family so one can imagine the doubts which arise. There is also a joke I often make with respect to my parents, where they question why I’m pursuing comedy after they gave up their life in Kashmir to give me a stable life". He is also a celebrity chess streamer.

In a similar incident, comedian Munawar Faruqui was slammed earlier for insensitive joke referring to Justin Bieber's facial paralysis. He had tweeted, "Dear Justin Bieber, i can totally understand Even here in india right side not working properly."
