Pranit More Admits Mistake, Issues Fresh Apology In Viral Rs 370 Ki Biryani Controversy
Stand-up comedian Pranit More has once again addressed the controversy surrounding the viral ‘Rs 370 Ki Biryani’ clip, admitting that he made a mistake by not intervening during the incident and allowing the conversation to continue on stage.
In a video shared on social media, More expressed regret over his actions and acknowledged that he was influenced by the atmosphere during the show. He stated that the audience's reaction and laughter caused him to lose judgment in the moment, adding that he should have handled the situation differently.
The controversy erupted after a crowd-work segment from one of More’s stand-up shows went viral online. The clip featured an audience member making remarks about spending ₹370 on a biryani during a date and expecting something in return, comments that many social media users, influencers, and public figures found offensive and inappropriate. The video quickly sparked widespread criticism and debates around consent, misogyny, and the responsibilities of comedians during live performances.
Addressing the backlash, More said he understands the anger directed at him and accepts responsibility for not stopping the exchange when it happened. He also appealed for an opportunity to learn from the incident and improve as a person, stating that the criticism has been a wake-up call.
The fallout from the controversy has continued to grow, with authorities and public bodies taking note of the matter. Reports suggest that complaints were filed following the viral clip, while the discussion around accountability in comedy and online content remains ongoing.
While opinions remain divided on social media, More’s latest statement marks his strongest acknowledgment yet of the controversy, with the comedian openly admitting that he should have acted differently during the now-viral interaction.
