In the segment, Priyanka, dressed in a red bodycon dress, had her outfit ripped by Adil, who attempted to turn it into a cut-out dress. The situation took a surprising turn when Priyanka revealed she was married with a 15-year-old son.

Her bold act sparked criticism from netizens, with many questioning the appropriateness of her performance. Panelists also probed her about her family, asking whether her husband supported her actions. Priyanka explained that she never had the chance to express herself this way when she was younger, having gotten married early. She further revealed that her husband was unaware of her professional activities in Mumbai and would likely find out about the episode once it aired. The episode quickly went viral, with Priyanka and Adil's clip drawing mixed reactions.

Some viewers even speculated that Priyanka Halder’s segment was scripted, with her story about being married with a child potentially fabricated for the sake of the act. Many believe it was an attempt to gain attention and make a mark with filmmakers. Despite the controversy, Priyanka and her friend Adil did not win the show, as they failed to score well with the judges based on their pre-ratings.

While the judges of India's Got Latent found Priyanka Halder's act entertaining, their comments veered towards the curious situation of a married woman with a teenage son allowing a "costume cutter" to perform such a risky stunt on her.

Priyanka, who works in the entertainment industry, has previously appeared in Ektaa Kapoor’s production house, Alt Balaji’s adult web series Gandii Baat, as well as the crime-based show Crime World on Shemaroo TV. She has also featured in Crime Patrol Dial 100, a popular crime series hosted by Anoop Soni.
