India's Got Latent Season 2 Sparks Debate

The second season of India's Got Latent has once again ignited discussions and debates online. The latest episode featured a memorable moment with Samay Raina, Tanmay Bhatt, Vishal Dadlani, Raghu Ram, and Yashraj Mehra on the judging panel. A contestant from Bihar, who labeled herself a 'man hater,' became the first to earn zero points from all judges this season. Her provocative statements during the audition left both the judges and the audience in shock, culminating in an awkward yet unforgettable conclusion.

Sakshi Jha: The First Contestant to Score Zero

In the third episode, viewers were introduced to Sakshi Jha, a teacher and social media influencer from Bihar. Confidently rating herself an eight out of ten, her audition took a surprising turn as she began to engage with the judges. Identifying herself as a 'man hater,' Sakshi expressed her disdain for men, which immediately caught the judges' attention. When asked by Tanmay Bhatt about her father's feelings regarding her views, she shockingly stated that she hated him too. Her dislike extended to her grandfather, father, and brother, leaving the judges visibly taken aback.

Judges Respond to Sakshi's Controversial Remarks

Throughout her audition, Sakshi made several comments about marriage and relationships that did not resonate well with the judges. She expressed a desire to physically harm her future husband and even wrote, "Pati ko daru pi ke marna hai," on her application. Additionally, she suggested that an ideal husband should be a "Joru Ka Gulaam," which was met with disapproval from the panel.

Panel's Reaction and Audience Response

The judges did not hold back in their responses to Sakshi's statements. Samay Raina and the other judges playfully teased her after she failed to recognize Gautam Buddha, despite her claim of being a teacher. Raghu Ram humorously noted that her views might ironically lead people to appreciate men even more. The judges questioned Sakshi's repeated assertions of being a feminist, challenging whether her views aligned with feminist principles.

Ultimately, all judges—Samay Raina, Tanmay Bhatt, Vishal Dadlani, Raghu Ram, and Yashraj Mehra—unanimously awarded Sakshi zero points, marking her as the first contestant in Season 2 to achieve the lowest score possible from every judge. Following the announcement, Sakshi remarked that this was merely the opinion of men. Samay then turned to the audience, who collectively chanted 'Zero,' echoing the judges' decision.

India's Got Latent Season 2 is currently available for streaming on Netflix and YouTube, with new episodes released bi-weekly at 7 PM IST.
