India's Got Latent Season 2 premiered on June 20, 2026 ,and honestly,conversation went in direction many people probably did not expect . Instead of just jokes and format,lot of attention got stuck on Alia Bhatt and how uncomfortable she looked during roast moments.
During episode,host Samay Raina and one contestant impersonating Donald Trump took comedic jabs at her . Now roast comedy is supposed to be uncomfortable to some level,but here many viewers felt it crossed into awkward zone because Alia seemed visibly uncomfortable and even intimidated.
And tbh,this is where audience reaction became bigger than actual joke.
Contestant humorously targeted Alia,suggesting she needed script . Fans started reacting fast on social media,with many saying she looked like she was not fully ready for this kind of comedy setup . One viewer even wrote,"Alia Bhatt should not be anywhere near comedy scene Samay bhai."
Few things people are talking about rn:
- Public sympathy — Many fans expressed their discomfort watching Alia during the roast,feeling she was unfairly targeted.
- Criticism of PR management — Viewers called out Alia's PR team for failing to prepare her for the comedic format.
- Simulcast format — The show’s unique release strategy on Netflix and YouTube has led to immediate viewer feedback.
But despite all that awkwardness,Alia still gave contestant ten . And her own admission made whole thing even more real because she said,"I was actually feeling like intimidated and like I was face palming and getting really awkward and stressed and that's fabulous job."
That line actually explains why people connected with her reaction . She was not pretending to be super chill or fake laughing through everything . She openly said she felt awkward and stressed,but still appreciated performance . Not small thing ah,especially when camera is on you and internet is ready to judge every expression.
Also,this season's release style is adding fuel only . Fresh episodes are coming every two weeks on both Netflix and YouTube,unlike previous season's weekly schedule . So reactions are instant,clips travel fast and viewers start debating before dust even settles.
And honestly,this whole moment again shows how weird celebrity comedy spaces can become . People expect stars to laugh at everything,handle every joke,sit calmly while being roasted and still look sporting . But at same time,they are human only…
So now question is,was this just normal roast comedy doing its job,or did Alia Bhatt get put in spot she was never properly prepared for…
