Sakshi Jha, the Bihar-based teacher and content creator who went viral after her stint on India’s Got Latent Season 2, has reportedly been suspended from her teaching job. This was after the backlash over her controversial ‘man-hater’ comments on the show. While reports of her suspension have surfaced online, there has been no official confirmation from the state’s education department or her school.
The controversy began after videos from the latest episode flooded social media and triggered criticism. Sakshi’s performance stirred debates around comedy, gender stereotypes and responsible public speech.
What Sakshi Jha said on the show
During her performance, Sakshi introduced herself as a “man-hater”. She claimed that she disliked not only men in general but even the male members of her own family. She attributed her perspective to “generational trauma” and went on to make a series of controversial remarks.
Sakshi Jha revealed her life goal as, “Mujhe pati ko daru peekar belt se maarna hai (I want to beat my husband with a belt after drinking alcohol).” She also joked that a “good man” is someone who blindly obeys his wife.
Her performance failed to impress the panel of judges. They unanimously awarded her zero points, making her the first contestant this season to receive a complete score of 0/10. When Samay Raina asked the audience to rate her act, they too chanted “Zero.” Sakshi however rated her own performance an 8 out of 10.
