India’s Got Latent: A contestant on India’s Got Latent Season 2 has landed in fresh controversy beyond the reality show. Sakshi Jha, whose remarks about men during her audition went viral, has reportedly been suspended from her teaching position by the Bihar government. According to a report by MissMalini, disciplinary action has been initiated against Sakshi following the backlash over her comments. However, the Bihar government has not yet issued an official statement confirming the reported suspension.

The controversy has sparked widespread debate online, with many social media users questioning whether public remarks made on an entertainment platform should have professional consequences, while others argued that teachers are expected to uphold certain standards of public conduct.

What did Sakshi Jha say on India’s Got Latent?

During her audition on Samay Raina’s hit reality show, Sakshi introduced herself by saying, “Main ek man-hater hoon.” When the panel asked whether that included the men in her own family, she responded that she disliked her father, grandfather and brother as well, attributing her views to what she described as “generational trauma.”

She further drew criticism after joking that one of her life goals was to beat her future husband with a belt after getting drunk. The comments left the panel visibly surprised and quickly triggered outrage across social media, with many viewers calling them insensitive and inappropriate.

First contestant to receive zero from every judge

Apart from the controversy, Sakshi also made headlines for another reason. She became the first contestant in Season 2 to receive zero points from every panellist on the show. Despite the unanimous score, Sakshi confidently rated her own performance 8 out of 10, adding another viral moment to the episode.
