A contestant on comedian Samay Raina’s reality show India’s Got Latent Season 2 has landed in serious trouble beyond the show itself. Sakshi Jha, whose remarks about men during her audition went viral, has reportedly been suspended from her teaching position by the Bihar government, though official confirmation from the state is still awaited.
During her appearance, Sakshi introduced herself by declaring, “Main ek man-hater hoon,” and when panellists asked whether that extended to men in her own family, she said she hated her father, grandfather, and brother too — attributing her views to “generational trauma.” She further stunned the judges by revealing her life goal was to beat her husband with a belt after getting drunk.

Sakshi became the first contestant in Season 2 to receive zero points from every panellist on the show, yet confidently rated her own performance 8 out of 10 — a moment that quickly went viral in its own right.
The controversy has sparked widespread debate online, with many questioning whether remarks made on an entertainment platform should carry professional consequences, while others argue teachers must uphold certain standards of public conduct.
Amid the intense backlash, Samay Raina himself urged people to avoid excessive trolling, calling for a more measured, human response to the situation.
