Her remarks left the judges stunned and soon went viral on social media, drawing criticism from many viewers who questioned whether such statements were appropriate, especially from someone working as a teacher.
Sakshi also became the first contestant in India's Got Latent Season 2 to receive zero points from every judge. Despite the unanimous score, she rated her own performance 8 out of 10, making the moment even more talked about.
Why Is She Back In The News?
Sakshi is now making headlines after reports claimed that she has been suspended from her teaching job in Bihar following the backlash over her comments on the show. According to a report by MissMalini, disciplinary action has reportedly been taken against her.
However, neither the Bihar government, the state's education department nor the school where she teaches has officially confirmed the reported suspension. For now, the claims remain unverified.
The reports have also triggered a debate on social media. While some users feel teachers should be accountable for their public statements, others believe comments made on a comedy reality show should not have an impact on a person's career.
