Wed Feb 12 10:37:34 UTC 2025: ## “Jinxed” Contestant’s Appearance on Cancelled Show Sparks Online Frenzy

**MUMBAI, INDIA –** A viral video clip featuring a contestant on Samay Raina’s now-troubled internet show, *India’s Got Latent*, is fueling online speculation about curses and bad luck. The contestant, in a resurfaced video segment, famously claimed to be jinxed, stating that institutions he attended – including schools and a college – all subsequently closed down. Even his former employer ceased operations, he revealed.

This resurfaced video has gained traction following legal issues surrounding *India’s Got Latent*. The show, which recently faced controversy and police complaints in Mumbai and Guwahati over offensive comments made by Ranveer Allahbadia (who has since apologized), saw one episode removed from YouTube. This prompted social media users to connect the contestant’s supposed “jinx” to the show’s current predicament.

The coincidence has led to a wave of humorous and speculative posts online. Many users jokingly suggest using the contestant’s purported abilities to predict future events, from stock market trends to election outcomes. Others have questioned whether the show’s cancellation is directly linked to the contestant’s appearance.

The incident adds another layer to the already tumultuous situation surrounding *India’s Got Latent*. While the show’s future remains uncertain, the viral video and the related social media discourse highlight the power of online narratives and the enduring fascination with the unusual. The case has also drawn comparisons to Prafull Billore, the owner of MBA Chaiwala, who is frequently the subject of online jokes suggesting he brings misfortune to those he associates with.
