Samay Raina and his show ‘India’s Got Latent’ are not new to the storm of controversies.

During her audition, she made several controversial comments about men, marriage and her family, which have not gone down well with the Internet audience. Read below to find out what happened

‘India’s Got Latent’ and the contestant who introduced herself as ‘hates man‘

During the third episode of the last season, one contestant, Sakshi Jha, was introduced as a “man-hater”. Her audition clip is doing the rounds on social media platforms. On the one hand, where she openly described herself as a “man-hater,” on the other hand, her Instagram bio echoed the same sentiment. His bio reads: “The Patriarchy’s Worst Nightmare.” During her time on the show, she revealed that her boyfriend had cheated on her.And the negative comments against men didn’t stop there. He made another controversial statement about his future. “Pati ko daru pi ke marna hai, (I want to beat my husband after taking alcohol),” she wrote as part of her reply. Jha then claimed that she disliked the men in her family, including her own father and brother.His words left the panel consisting of Samay Raina, Tanmay Bhat, Vishal Dadlani, Raghu Ram and Yashraj Mehra unimpressed. It was the first time in Latent history that the jury unanimously gave a zero to a contestant. Interestingly, despite the panel’s zero, Sakshi scored her performance an eight.At one point, Samay asked him, “Who hurt you, yaar?” and she answered, “Men.” Samay, being Samay, replied, “That’s why we say, ‘Educate the girl child’.”As the conversation continued, Samay asked the audience to give their verdict, which did not differ from the panel’s score.

After her performance, social media users flooded the comment sections with mixed reactions. Jha received massive backlash for her comments, but many netizens also commented on the nature of the show.An X user posted, “Man-hating girl from Bihar denied her own father on India’s Got Latent just for some attention.Tanmay: How about your father, is he a man too?Sakshi: I told him, I really hate him ewwwwwHis mental state was so bad that even the women on the show gave him 0 points, let alone the entire panel. Samay Raina, Tanmay and Raghu cooked it well”Another post said: “Women like her are the reason why men are not safe in India– He hates all men.

“After watching Sakshi Jha in The Latent, I would just like to say on behalf of all women, we are sorry.And no, we don’t all hate our parents,” said one netizen.Here is another post from an internet user:“This 18-year-old girl, Sakshi Jha, from Bihar who claims to be a teacher, HAS DESIRE TO SNAP HER HUSBAND WITH A BELT AFTER GETTING DRUNK.THE ONLY TALENT HE HAS IS “HATING MEN”He hates his father, his grandfather and even his brotherThere is no NATIONAL COMMISSION FOR MEN IN INDIA that takes cognizance of the MISANDRY or the public claim of wanting to be a batsman.I actually thank this woman for going on such a popular platform and exposing TOXIC FEMINISM so wellI wouldn’t be surprised if he kills a man in the future.If a man expressed his desire to hit a woman on stage like this, it will not be taken as a joke. He would be kicked off the show after the first line. But he was allowed to express himself fully. Unfortunately, she will be rewarded with many more followers and maybe even brand collaborations.EQUALITY”Some netizens even claim that if a man had made such comments against a woman, people would have demanded legal action and the person would have already been behind bars.
