A leaked picture from the sets of Samay Raina’s India’s Got Latent Season 2 has gone viral on social media. The image featured actors Alia Bhatt and Sharvari sitting on the panel of judges for the comedy show.
The show is preparing for its return months after it became involved in a major controversy. After Samay Raina recently announced the second season, fans have been waiting to know which celebrities would appear in the first episode.
The leaked photo was shared by a social media user on Reddit with the caption, “Alia Bhatt on India’s Got latent.”
The image showed Alia Bhatt and Sharvari sitting alongside Balraj Singh Ghai and Aashish Solanki on the panel.
Many social media users quickly noticed small details in the show’s logo seen in the picture. Some pointed out the nimbu-mirchi, commonly used to ward off the evil eye, and handcuffs added to the logo design.
Fans also guessed that Alia Bhatt and Sharvari may appear on the show to promote their upcoming movie Alpha.
The leaked image quickly led to reactions online.
One fan wrote, “Can sense the jokes from there.”
Another comment read, “Damn but still excited for it it’s igl at the end of the day and I love shravari too so let’s see.”
However, not everyone was happy about Alia Bhatt appearing on the show.
One person commented, “It feels like the soul of India’s Got Latent has been taken away and now it’ll just remain a show for promotions.”
Another user wrote, “Wow Alia is really everywhere. Overexposure is not a good thing hunny.”
A different comment read, “It’s actually crazy how much she craves attention and needs to be everywhere.”
India’s Got Latent is returning after a long break following a controversy linked to one of its previous episodes.
Last year, podcaster Ranveer Allahbadia faced backlash after making an obscene remark during an episode of the show.
He had asked a contestant, “Would you rather watch your parents have sex every day for the rest of your life or join in once and for all to make it stop forever?”
The comment caused widespread criticism online and led to legal trouble for several people connected to the episode.
Multiple FIRs were reportedly filed in different states against Samay Raina, Ranveer Allahbadia, Ashish Chanchlani, Apoorva Mukhija, and Jaspreet Singh, all of whom were part of the episode.
Following the controversy, Samay Raina removed all episodes of India’s Got Latent from his YouTube channel.
Meanwhile, Alia Bhatt and Sharvari are preparing for the release of Alpha.
Alpha is the first female-led movie in Yash Raj Films’ spy universe. The film has faced several delays but is now scheduled to release in theaters on July 10.
The movie is directed by Shiv Rawail and also stars Bobby Deol as the main antagonist.
This was also Alia’s second year attending Cannes as a global ambassador for L’Oréal Paris. Last year, she experimented with bold and structured fashion choices. Instagram/@aliabhatt
