Viewers have accused India’s Got Latent 2 of being scripted after Suhani Shah’s recent magic performance, prompting questions about the show’s authenticity. No official response has been issued yet.
India Today reported that a wave of criticism has hit India’s Got Latent 2 after a viewer‑posted video of Suhani Shah’s magic act went viral. The clip, which shows Shah performing a seemingly impossible trick, was flagged by several social media users who claimed the act was pre‑planned and not a genuine display of skill.
The allegations have focused on the show’s host, Samay Raina, and the production team, suggesting that the program’s format may be designed to create drama rather than showcase authentic talent. Critics argue that the timing of the act, the reaction of the judges, and the audience’s response all point to a scripted narrative.
So far, the channel has not issued a statement addressing the accusations. Fans of the show have expressed mixed reactions, with some defending the production’s creative choices and others demanding transparency.
The controversy highlights a broader debate about reality television in India, where the line between entertainment and authenticity is increasingly scrutinized by a vigilant online audience.
