Sakshi Jha’s latest Instagram video has reignited the conversation around her controversial India’s Got Latent performance, with many questioning whether she was responding to the backlash.
After weeks of criticism, the content creator posted a short clip with a cryptic message that has once again split social media.
She Shares A New Video
Sakshi Jha, who recently faced heavy criticism over her “man-hater” set on India’s Got Latent 2, has shared a fresh Instagram video that has once again become a talking point online. The content creator posted a short reel with the caption featuring three “Face with tears of joy” emojis and three “clock it” emojis.
The video begins with a text overlay that reads, “Raigbaited (sic) so hard that people thought this is my whole personality.” She is then seen lip-syncing to a remix of the song Jugni Ji. The post quickly drew attention, with many users linking it to the controversy surrounding her appearance on the comedy show.
People Remain Divided
The comments section was filled with mixed reactions. While some users felt Jha was simply moving on, many others believed she was trying to respond to the backlash without directly addressing it.
A person wrote, “Nice cover-up.” Another commented, “Her confidence btw.”
Someone said, “Whatever it is, but she got what she wants (attention and fame).” “Certified professional ragebaiter,” another person posted.
“Damage is already done, bro, can’t undo it now,” read another comment. Several users also pointed out that she had misspelled the word “ragebait” in the text shown in the video.
Why Did The Controversy Begin?
Sakshi Jha landed in the middle of a social media storm after appearing on the latest season of India’s Got Latent. During her stand-up set, she introduced herself as a “man-hater” and made remarks about wanting to beat her husband after getting drunk. The performance received zero points from all the judges, including Samay Raina, Tanmay Bhat, Vishal Dadlani, Yashraj Mehra and Raghu Ram.
Clips from the episode soon spread online, triggering criticism from many viewers. At the beginning of her act, Jha said, “Hi, I am Sakshi, and I am a man-hater… Basically, I get a kick out of wrecking men’s egos.”
She later added, “My friends tell me, ‘Sakshi, you’re so lame.’ Fine, maybe I am. I feel like I’ll never be able to become a great person, no matter how hard I try, because I’m a woman, right? In this generation, being a woman is pure trauma. I literally don’t hate any caste, but I do hate men. What do men even have to be so proud of? They act like, ‘I am a man.’ Seriously? Were you born from your father’s womb? It was a woman who gave birth to you, wasn’t it?”
Samay Raina Backs The Comedian
As criticism against Jha continued, Samay Raina publicly asked people to stop trolling her. He urged “Menz” to show her kindness instead, saying she had played a big role in making the episode successful.
Raina also reminded people that, despite the controversy, she is a human being.
Sakshi Jha has not directly addressed the controversy, but a recent Instagram video has fueled debate, with some believing she is responding indirectly. Her post included emojis and a cryptic message.
