Overview
- The episode that premiered on Friday featured contestant Sakshi Jha introducing herself as a “man‑hater,” making provocative remarks about men and saying she wanted to beat her husband after drinking, and judges Samay Raina, Tanmay Bhat, Vishal Dadlani, Raghu Ram and Yashraj Mehra all gave her zero points.
- Clips from the audition spread rapidly across social platforms, producing widespread memes, targeted trolling and heated debate over whether the material was comedy or harmful speech.
- Samay Raina posted Instagram Stories from Alibaug asking his followers to be kind, reminding viewers there is a human on the other side and urging men not to escalate personal attacks.
- Multiple outlets reported that Jha, a Bihar government school teacher, had been suspended after the backlash but no official suspension order or statement from the Bihar education department has been produced publicly.
- The episode is trending on streaming platforms and the episode’s fallout has refocused attention on how roast‑style shows amplify provocative acts, the limits of comedic performance, and the real‑world consequences viral moments can trigger.
