Samay Raina was left stunned during the latest episode of India’s Got Latent 2 after a serving Uttar Pradesh Police constable walked onto the stage as a surprise contestant, delivering an unexpected musical performance that quickly became a viral moment online.
The contestant, Kapil Dinkar, initially entered the stage in full police uniform, leaving the panel unsure whether it was part of a comedy act or a real introduction. The moment instantly caught everyone off guard, including the judges and audience.
Comedian Samay Raina first reacted with humor, joking, “Sir, woh pichla season tha,” referring to earlier controversies surrounding the show. The light exchange set the tone for what would become one of the episode’s most talked-about segments.
Kapil responded playfully, continuing the banter and adding his own witty remark that drew laughter from the crowd. As confusion cleared, he confirmed that he is a serving Uttar Pradesh Police constable posted in Meerut and selected for service in 2021.
Upon learning the truth, Samay expressed surprise, saying, “I can’t believe police wale aa gaye perform karne yaar,” before warmly welcoming him and even offering him tea on stage. The interaction quickly shifted from shock to admiration as the panel engaged with the contestant.
Kapil shared that joining the police force fulfilled his mother’s dream, while music remained his personal passion. He also revealed that he was uniquely permitted within his department to pursue music alongside his duties.
“Main department ka iklauta banda hoon jisko music karne ki permission hai,” he said, earning applause from the audience for balancing public service with creative ambition.
After his performance, panellists including Kiku Sharda and Haarsh Limbachiyaa praised his act, with Samay joking, “Jis jispe FIR hai sab tareef kar rahe hai,” adding his signature humor to the moment.
The episode also revived memories of earlier controversy surrounding the show’s first season, when multiple FIRs were filed over remarks made during a broadcast, leading to widespread criticism and temporary removal from YouTube.
Despite past controversies, India’s Got Latent 2 continues to stream on Netflix and YouTube, gaining attention for its unpredictable format and viral stage moments that blend comedy, talent, and real-life surprises.
