Television actress Surabhi Vanzara, formerly known as Shabnam Syed, stole the show on 'India's Got Latent 2' by delivering sharp, witty retorts to comedian Samay Raina and his panel.

  • Actress Surabhi Vanzara (formerly Shabnam Syed) went viral for roasting Samay Raina's panel.
  • She countered comedian Kushagra Srivastava's 'Komolika' comment with a cold, witty reply.
  • Surabhi described meeting Samay Raina as 'mentally disturbing' for her and the country.
  • The actress has a diverse portfolio spanning from 'Qubool Hai' to the Cannes Film Festival.

In a recent episode of the hit show 'India's Got Latent 2', television actress Surabhi Vanzara found herself at the center of a digital storm after a fiery exchange with host and comedian Samay Raina. The episode, which has since gone viral, showcases the actress's quick wit and refusal to be intimidated by the panel's critique.

The tension escalated when the panel, consisting of Ashneer Grover, Rakhi Sawant, and Kushagra Srivastava, expressed their dislike for her performance. Kushagra Srivastava took it a step further by suggesting Surabhi had a "Komolika vibe" and looked like she would "fly away on a broom." Surabhi's response was immediate and cutting: "What’s your name, sir? Everybody else I do know," effectively dismissing the comedian's relevance.

The banter continued as Samay Raina questioned whether her on-screen persona matched her real-life personality. Surabhi retorted, "This is all thanks to you. Meeting you is not easy, Samay. It’s quite mentally disturbing. You disturb the entire country." When Samay attempted to frame her response as nervousness, she corrected him sharply, stating she was mentally disturbed, not nervous.
