The Season 2 premiere of India's Got Latent featured Alia Bhatt and Sharvari promoting Alpha, but it was contestant Avinash Agarwal's Donald Trump act that stole the spotlight. His witty exchange with host Samay Raina quickly became one of the most talked-about moments of the episode.
As the conversation unfolded, Samay jokingly asked the Trump impersonator, "Why do you start so many wars and mess with the stock market?"
Avinash was quick with his response. "Okay, firstly, if you don't know English, it's all right. Don't be so scared," he said, staying completely in character.
The comeback instantly drew laughter across the studio and caught Samay off guard. Within hours, clips of the exchange began circulating widely on social media, with many viewers calling it the funniest roast from the season opener.
Beyond his viral roast of Samay Raina, Avinash's act featured playful jabs at Alia Bhatt and Sharvari, a joke about giving away "free H-1B visas" in India, and a punchline about having oil on his island. He also drew huge laughs with his "50% tariff" remark after being gifted a Made-in-India AI+ smartphone.
