Meet Sakshi Jha, the ‘man-hater’, who got zero from every judge on India’s Got Latent show
Sakshi Jha’s auditions were showcased in the last episode aired on Friday. She introduced herself as a “man hater” who enjoyed “bruising men’s egos”. His jokes focused on his dislike of men, including remarks about his own family members. One particularly controversial moment was a joke that her goal in life was to “beat her husband after he drinks.” His routine also included jokes about people from Bihar.
After her performance, host Samay Raina asked Sakshi about her strong views on men. He attributed his views to “generational trauma”. When asked about Justice Tanmay Bhat’s reaction to her father’s views, Sakshi stated that he disliked her as well as her grandfather and brother.
The judges, including Tanmay Bhat, Vishal Dadlani, Raghu Ram and Yashraj Mehra, found his conduct unconvincing. Each jury member gave himself zero points, marking the first time this season that an act was rejected unanimously. The audience responded by shouting “Zero” when asked about their scores.
Clips of Sakshi’s audition did the rounds on social media platforms, sparking a debate. Some viewers criticized the act, arguing that mocking an entire gender was not funny and that the performance relied on shock value. Others defended him, stating that comedy is subjective and comedians often use provocative material. Some also recognized the right of judges to reject actions they did not find entertaining.
