Comedian Samay Raina’s show India's Got Latent has quickly gained popularity, thanks to its sharp comic timing, the variety of contestants featured and the controversies. However, the latest episode has sparked controversy, with one contestant's performance on stage drawing significant backlash. The act, which has since gone viral, has led to widespread trolling by netizens.

The latest episode of India's Got Latent featured special guests Bharti Singh, her husband Haarsh Limbachiyaa, and singer Tony Kakkar. However, it was the controversial performance by contestant Priyanka Halder and her friend Mohammad Adil that caught the most attention.

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.
