Meet India's Got Latent contestant whose 134-million-view dance video beat every Samay Raina video

The latest episode of India's Got Latent showcased Geni Kamki, a popular contestant from Arunachal Pradesh, who gained fame with her viral dance video.

The second episode of India's Got Latent Season 2 featured several interesting contestants, but the one participant who caught everyone's attention was Geni Kamki, popularly known by her Instagram handle Luciidforyou. Geni could not win the ₹1 lakh cash prize on the show, but she surprised Samay Raina with her immense popularity on social media.

Who is Geni Kamki?

India's Got Latent contestant Geni Kamki is a viral sensation.

Geni Kamki performed her brother's unrealised song on the show. During her introduction, Geni revealed that she is from Arunachal Pradesh but is currently studying homeopathy in Guwahati. Apart from being a student, Geni is also very active on social media. She is a dancer, singer, and content creator with over 1.2 million followers on Instagram. She regularly posts videos showcasing her dancing and singing skills, along with glimpses of her daily life, on the platform.

'FIR kam kara do'

Geni became a viral sensation after her video of dancing to the hit Telugu song "Vachindamma" from the 2018 film Geetha Govindam. The video shows her immersed in her studies before she abruptly stands up and starts dancing to the song. The clip quickly went viral and has now crossed 134 million views across social media platforms.

Samay was shocked after hearing the number of views Geni's video had received. This prompted fellow panellist Balraj Ghai to joke that even "Samay doesn't have that many views on his videos." Samay admitted the same saying,"Nahi hai bhai" and even offered Geni his own seat on the show and said that she deserved to be sitting alongside the other panellists.

When she appeared on India's Got Latent, Geni had mentioned that her viral video had 118 million views. Since then, its popularity has continued to grow, and the same video has now crossed 134 million views.
