The premiere episode of India's Got Latent Season 2 featured several memorable acts, and Marathi theatre artist Sukrut Deo was among the contestants who captured viewers' attention.
His performance quickly gained traction online, becoming one of the widely shared clips from the episode.
Act That Went Viral
Sukrut took the stage portraying a drunk man and quickly had the audience laughing with his sharp comic timing, expressive mannerisms, and realistic body language.

What began as a comedy act ended on an emotional note. After revealing his real voice, Sukrut performed Kalakaar, a poem reflecting on the struggles and aspirations of artists. The moving performance resonated deeply with the judges and audience, including Alia Bhatt and Sharvari Wagh, who were on the show to promote their upcoming film Alpha. The performance ended with a standing ovation, making it one of the most memorable moments of the episode.
