Alia
Bhatt, who generated a splash at the Cannes Film Festival last week, might next be on India's Got Latent (IGT) along with her Alpha co-star Sharvari Wagh...or at least that's what a viral photo circulating on social media is suggesting. Samay Raina's troubled YouTube show, which ran into a major controversy after guest and comedian Ranveer Allahbadia's obscene remarks in one of the episodes last year, is reportedly making a comeback with a new season. The massive trouble around IGT even landed Samay and Ranveer in court, and the episodes were removed from the platform. In what appears to be an attempt at a striking comeback of the show, Alia is rumoured to turn one of the guests.

About India's Got Latent's popularity
Unlike traditional reality shows, India's Got Latent mixed stand-up comedy, roasting culture, and unusual talent performances. The blend had made the previous episodes a massive success on YouTube, garnering millions of viewers.In 2025, India's Got Latent became embroiled in controversy over allegations that its content promoted offensive humour, explicit language, and insensitive remarks. Several digital creators associated with the show faced criticism for material that many viewers considered vulgar and socially inappropriate. The outrage grew after certain jokes and contestant exchanges sparked widespread backlash online, eventually leading to legal scrutiny and a broader debate about the limits of creative freedom in India’s expanding digital entertainment space.While the court stopped short of banning the show entirely, it emphasised that the right to free expression must be exercised responsibly.
