India’s Got Latent contestant’s ‘man-hater’ remark sparks backlash: ‘This isn’t feminism’ Contestant Sakshi Jha’s controversial remarks about men on India’s Got Latent Season 2 went viral, with judges awarding her a unanimous zero. The third episode of the show, which premiered on Netflix, featured Sakshi as one of the standout contestants after she introduced herself as a “man-hater” and expressed her disdain for men during her audition. Her comments, which included references to generational trauma and a desire to “beat her husband after drinking,” drew sharp reactions from both the panel and online audiences. Sakshi’s act began with her declaring, “Hi, I am Sakshi, and I am a man-hater… Basically, I get a kick out of wrecking men’s egos.” She elaborated in Hindi, stating that her friends told her she was “lame” and that she felt her struggles as a woman were a result of societal pressures. “In this generation, being a woman is pure trauma,” she said, adding that she hated men but not any particular caste. She also claimed to hate her own father, grandfather, and brother, explaining, “I hate him too. He is my father, but he is a man too. I hate my grandfather too, and he hates me because I don’t like his grandson and my brother.” The controversy deepened when the judging panel referenced a statement Sakshi had written on her contestant form. Vishal Dadlani asked her about her life goal, which she had described as “I want to beat my husband after drinking alcohol.” When pressed on whether she meant it, Sakshi replied, “I really want to do this.” She also mentioned her desire to become a mother and marry a “good man,” defining a good man as someone who “blindly follows his wife.#samay_raina #sakshi_jha #indias_got_latent #vishal_dadlani #raghu_ram
