Samay Raina stops Deepak Kalal from making jokes during an episode of India’s Got Latent after contestant Kartika Jalani reveals she has been diagnosed with cancer. During the conversation, Kartika shares details of her health journey, prompting immediate concern from Samay about how the moment might be handled.
In the episode, Kartika speaks candidly about her diagnosis after being prompted by Samay. She says she was diagnosed with breast cancer, and she notes she is still undergoing treatment. She later adds that she has recently completed radiation and is currently on immunotherapy. Sources also report that Balraj Ghai asks whether she is still in treatment, and she confirms she is.
Different outlets highlight the same sequence of events but emphasize different reactions. One source focuses on Samay’s quick, visibly concerned intervention—snatching Deepak’s microphone and saying “Oh no!”—while others frame it as a spontaneous shift that leads to laughter from the audience rather than a sustained comedic beat. Across accounts, Deepak is shown as getting emotional, reacting to Kartika’s outlook and resilience while her treatment continues.
