India’s Got Latent Season 2 is once again dominating social media discussions, and this time it has little to do with talent. Episode 3 of the Netflix reality show has gone viral after contestant Sakshi Jha, a teacher and content creator from Bihar, described herself as a “man hater” during her audition. Her controversial remarks left both the judges and the audience unimpressed, making her the first contestant this season to receive zero points from every judge.
The moment has since exploded across social media, with viewers debating whether her comments were intended as satire or crossed the line.
Who Is Sakshi Jha?
Sakshi Jha is a teacher and digital content creator from Bihar with more than 13,500 Instagram followers. Her Instagram bio describes her as “Patriarchy’s worst nightmare,” reflecting the kind of social commentary she often shares online.
During her introduction on India’s Got Latent Season 2, Sakshi confidently rated herself 8 out of 10 before introducing herself as a “man hater.”
Her confidence, however, quickly turned into controversy.
‘Man Hater’ Remarks Leave Judges Shocked
During the audition, Sakshi made several controversial remarks about men, marriage, and even members of her own family.
At one point, while discussing her future, she wrote:
“Pati ko daru pi ke marna hai.”
She also claimed that her dislike extended to her father and brother, leaving the panel visibly uncomfortable.
Rather than generating laughs, the comments were met with awkward silence and criticism from the judges.
Every Judge Gives Sakshi Zero Points
The judging panel for Episode 3 featured:
- Samay Raina
- Tanmay Bhat
- Vishal Dadlani
- Raghu Ram
- Yashraj Mehra
After her performance concluded, every single judge awarded Sakshi zero points, making her the first contestant in India’s Got Latent Season 2 to receive a complete set of zeroes.
The awkward moment did not end there.
Host Samay Raina then turned towards the live audience and asked them to rate her performance.
The audience collectively responded with one word:
“Zero!”
The moment instantly became one of the most talked-about clips from the episode.
Social Media Reacts Strongly
Soon after the episode premiered, clips from Sakshi’s audition began circulating widely across Instagram, X (formerly Twitter), Reddit, and YouTube.
Many viewers criticised her remarks, arguing that there is a significant difference between speaking against patriarchy and expressing hatred towards men.
One social media user commented that Sakshi appeared to have “a strong bias against men”, pointing out her statements about disliking her father and brother and joking about physically harming her future husband.
While a small section of viewers defended her by calling it dark humour or satire, the overwhelming online reaction remained critical.
Ironically, despite receiving zero marks, Sakshi has become one of the most discussed contestants of the season.
India’s Got Latent Season 2 Continues To Generate Buzz
Episode 3 once again showcased the unpredictable nature of India’s Got Latent, where unscripted contestant interactions often become more memorable than the performances themselves.

New episodes of India’s Got Latent Season 2 premiere every two weeks at 7 PM IST on Netflix and YouTube.
Final Thoughts
Whether viewers found Sakshi Jha’s comments offensive, satirical, or simply an unsuccessful attempt at humour, there is little doubt that her audition has become one of the biggest talking points of India’s Got Latent Season 2.
Receiving zero points from every judge may have ended her journey on the show, but it has undoubtedly made her one of the season’s most viral contestants.
