Alia Bhatt And Sharvari To Be First Guests On Samay Raina’s India’s Got Latent 2
Alia Bhatt And Sharvari To Be First Guests On Samay Raina’s India’s Got Latent 2? LEAKED Pic Goes Viral
Stand-up comedian Samay Raina is bringing back India’s Got Latent with its second season, but the internet appears divided over the show’s first celebrity guests. A leaked image from the sets of India’s Got Latent 2 featuring Alia Bhatt and Sharvari has gone viral online, sparking mixed reactions among fans. The actresses were reportedly filming for the show as part of promotions for their upcoming film Alpha. The viral photograph, allegedly clicked by an audience member during the taping, also featured comedian Aashish Solanki and Balraj Ghai.
The leaked photo shows Alia Bhatt dressed casually in a grey T-shirt and black cap, holding a microphone during the shoot. Beside her sat Alpha co-star Sharvari, along with comedian Aashish Solanki and Balraj Ghai.

While many viewers were excited about the return of India’s Got Latent, several social media users expressed disappointment over the inclusion of mainstream Bollywood promotions. Comments on Reddit and X suggested that while some were excited about Alia and Sharvari’s appearance, many others felt that India’s Got Latent was slowly turning into a ‘film promotion platform.’
Netizens React
Reacting to the leaked photo, one netizen wrote, “Alpha promotion," while another commented, “Latent will soon become a film promotion show." Expressing disappointment, a third user wrote, “It feels like the soul of India’s Got Latent has been taken away and now it’ll just remain a show for promotions." Meanwhile, some fans appeared excited about the show’s growing popularity, with one user commenting, “Really.. it’s going to be big big now."
The new season marks a significant comeback for Samay Raina’s show after the controversy surrounding podcaster Ranveer Allahbadia last year. The backlash over his remarks in one of the episodes had led to criticism, police complaints and temporary removal of content online. Despite the controversy, anticipation around the second season remains high.
About Alpha
Alia Bhatt and Sharvari’s upcoming film ‘Alpha’, the first female-led installment of Yash Raj Films’ Spy Universe, created quite a buzz ever since it was announced. The film, which also features Anil Kapoor and Bobby Deol, is set to hit the theatres on July 10, 2026.
Alpha is directed by Shiv Rawail, known for his involvement in projects such as The Railway Men, Fan, Dhoom 3. A majority of the film has been shot in Kashmir. Bobby Deol is expected to play the main antagonist in the film, who possibly trains Alia’s character before turning into her nemesis.
