Popular Indian content creator and comedian Nikunj Lotia, widely known as Be YouNick, has sparked fresh online chatter after delivering a sarcastic punchline directed at rapper and digital creator Santy Sharma. The moment occurs in the debut episode of Lotia's comedy series, The Influencer Agency – Episode 01 – Pilot, where a discussion regarding talent management turns into a comedic highlight that viewers have widely interpreted as a tongue-in-cheek roast.

Be YouNick Takes a Dig at Santy Sharma?
In the premiere episode, the narrative revolves around a fictional talent management agency attempting to recruit high-profile content creators in India's digital ecosystem. During a discussion detailing the operational struggles of signing top personalities, Be YouNick's character admits that he cannot sign popular creator Harsh Rane, before questioning how he could possibly recruit stand-up comedian Samay Raina.
When a co-actor adds Santy Sharma to the list of unreachable creators they cannot sign, Be YouNick responds with a brief, dismissive question: “Who is Santy?” The simple delivery, paired with a deliberately sarcastic tone, instantly became the central punchline of the exchange.

Although the scene does not explicitly frame the dialogue as an outright personal attack, and Lotia has not issued a statement confirming a personal dispute, audiences and social media users quickly clipped and shared the segment as a subtle dig.
