'Kaun bola ye?': Alia Bhatt loudly asks after audience member says, 'Money is all that girl wants' on India's Got Latent 2. Video goes viral

Samay Raina's India's Got Latent is back with a bang. The first episode of Season 2, now streaming on Netflix, featured Alia Bhatt, Sharvari, and comedian Ashish Solanki as guests. Several moments from the episode have already gone viral online, but one clip in particular has grabbed attention. The video shows Alia Bhatt swiftly responding to an audience member's comment about women, earning praise from social media users. The incident comes just days after the controversy surrounding the viral Rs 370 biryani remark made during comedian Pranit More's stand-up show.

Alia Bhatt's response wins over the internet

During a conversation on the show, Samay Raina asked Alia Bhatt what women like the most in men. Before the actress could answer, an audience member shouted, "Paisa" (money), suggesting that women primarily care about a man's wealth.

Alia did not let the comment slide. She immediately asked, "Kaun bola ye?" (Who said that?). Samay then stepped in with a response of his own. Referring to the audience member, he joked that it must have been "some poor man," a remark that helped diffuse the moment while making it clear that he did not agree with the stereotype.




The exchange quickly spread across social media platforms, where many viewers praised Alia for reacting instantly rather than ignoring the comment.

Netizens applaud Alia and Samay

The viral clip triggered a wave of reactions online, with many users appreciating both Alia Bhatt and Samay Raina for how they handled the situation.

One user pointed out that Alia herself is among the most successful stars in the industry and even claimed that she is wealthier than her husband, Ranbir Kapoor.



Another viewer wrote, "I love how Alia reacted quickly, and Samay probably had flashbacks, so he stepped up."

A third person commented, "The fact that it triggers them so much is because they don't even make enough for themselves."



Many also linked the incident to recent controversies involving comments about women that have gone viral online. One social media user directly referenced comedian Pranit More and wrote that he should learn from Samay Raina, arguing that the latter chose to challenge the stereotype instead of encouraging it.

Another reaction read, "Samay is fully aware now whatever happened to Pranit More, he's like no more controversy."

Meanwhile, a user commenting on another repost of the video said, "I have to give this to Alia for calling him out, Samay was not going to say something at first. When Alia called him out, he (Samay) took a stand. Actually, Kudos to both."

The Rs 370 biryani controversy explained

The discussion around the viral clip has also revived conversations about the recent controversy involving comedian Pranit More and audience member Himanshu Jangra.

During a stand-up show in Gurugram last month, Jangra shared an anecdote from his dating life that quickly sparked outrage online. He suggested that after spending Rs 370 on biryani during a date, he expected something in return from the woman. His comments were widely criticised as misogynistic and disrespectful toward women.

The clip attracted massive backlash on social media, with many users also criticising Pranit More's response during the interaction. The controversy eventually escalated beyond the internet.

Following the uproar, Maharashtra Cyber Police registered cases against both Pranit More and Himanshu Jangra on charges related to obscenity and sexual harassment. The matter also drew the attention of the National Commission for Women, which summoned the two individuals. Both later issued public apologies after facing widespread criticism.
