What people are saying
Usually people come on India's Got Latent, and then their movie flops. You’re the first one to flop a movie and then show up here.
But at least people watch me.
Dude, I just acted in a movie named Toxic, you're literally toxic in life.
nowadays there's also hate-watching that gets a high metric these days so no wonder India's Got Latent is on top.
