Samay Raina’s runaway hit YouTube show, India’s Got Latent, has firmly established itself as the ultimate breeding ground for viral internet sensations. Just when audiences thought they had seen every possible shade of eccentric comedy on Season 2, the latest bonus episode dropped a contestant who has completely hijacked social media timelines: Siddhanth Shetty.
Dubbed by netizens and panelists as the “new Deepak Kalal” for his unapologetic weirdness, chaotic comedic timing, and fearless stage presence, Siddhanth delivered a mimicry performance of veteran actor-politician Ravi Kishan that left the judges in tears of laughter.
Here is everything you need to know about the new viral sensation who is taking over the internet!
The Act That Broke The Panel: A Wild Ravi Kishan Avatar
During the newly released bonus episode of India’s Got Latent Season 2, Siddhanth Shetty took to the stage with an unpredictable, high-octane energy that immediately caught the judges off-guard.
Instead of a conventional stand-up routine, Siddhanth dove straight into a gloriously exaggerated and unhinged mimicry of Bhojpuri superstar and MP Ravi Kishan. From nailing the signature voice modulation, dramatic facial twitches, and flamboyant hand gestures to spouting absurd punchlines with a straight face, his performance pushed the boundaries between cringe and comedic genius.
The panel—helmed by Samay Raina alongside guest judges—could barely keep it together. At several points, judges were seen burying their heads in their hands, wheezing with laughter as Siddhanth maintained character without breaking a sweat.
