‘India’s Got Latent’ and the contestant who introduced himself as ‘hates people:‘

During the third episode of the latest season, a contestant, Sakshi Jha, introduced herself as a ‘man-hater’. Her audition clip is doing the rounds on social media platforms. On the one hand, where he openly describes himself as a “man-hater,” on the other hand, his Instagram bio further echoes the same sentiment. His bio reads, “Patriarchy’s worst nightmare.” During his participation in the show, he revealed that his girlfriend cheated on him.And the negative comments against men don’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 drinking),” she wrote as part of her reply. Jha then admits that she does not like 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. This is the first time in the history of Latent that the panel has unanimously given a contestant a zero. Interestingly, despite a zero from the panel, Sakshi rated her performance an eight.At one point, Samay asked him, “Who hurt you yaar?” and he answered, “Boys.” Samay, being Samay, replied, “This is 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.

He will be removed from the show after the first line itself. But he was allowed to express himself fully. Unfortunately, he will be rewarded with more followers and maybe even brand collabs.UP”Some internet users even claimed that if such comments were made by a man against a woman, people would have called for legal action, and the person would have been behind bars.
