A post from Pranit More stand-up comedy show about ₹370 biryani went viral and sparked a controversy

Описание: ₹370 Biryani Row: A viral stand-up comedy clip sparked outrage, an apology, a job loss, and a nationwide debate on consent and accountability. 🍛🔥

The ₹370 Biryani controversy erupted after a crowd-work video from comedian Pranit More's stand-up show went viral on social media. During an interaction, a Gurugram-based audience member, identified as Himanshu Jangra, narrated a dating experience and claimed that after spending ₹370 on a chicken biryani for a woman, he felt entitled to "recover" that money through physical intimacy. His remarks were widely criticized online as misogynistic and disrespectful towards consent.

The backlash intensified because many viewers felt that the comments were laughed off during the show instead of being challenged. Social media users condemned both the audience member's remarks and the handling of the moment on stage, leading to a nationwide debate about consent, dating expectations, and accountability in comedy.

As the controversy grew, Pranit More issued a public apology, admitting that he should have challenged the remarks rather than laughing and moving on. The viral clip was later deleted, but criticism continued. Reports also stated that More temporarily deactivated his Instagram account amid the backlash.

The controversy had real-world consequences when Himanshu Jangra's employer, Gurugram-based company [Starvik Design], announced that he was being let go following an internal review. The company stated that the comments did not align with its values, although it acknowledged that colleagues had no workplace complaints against him.

The incident has since sparked widespread discussions across social media about consent, gender attitudes, public shaming, workplace consequences, and the responsibilities of comedians during crowd-work interactions.

Several public figures, influencers, and social media users criticized comedian Pranit More not just for the audience member's remarks, but for how he reacted to them during the show.

Main criticisms against Pranit More:

Critics said he laughed at and encouraged the audience member's comments instead of challenging them. Many felt he should have immediately called out the remarks rather than treating them as comedy.

Actress Ayesha Khan called the viral clip "scary" and questioned why people were applauding such remarks, expressing concern about the mindset being normalized.

Actress Malti Chahar criticized the incident for reflecting unhealthy attitudes toward women and stressed the importance of consent and respect in relationships.

Influencers Kusha Kapila and Dolly Singh publicly criticized Pranit's handling of the clip, arguing that the issue was bigger than comedy and involved consent and misogyny.

Influencer Sakshi Shivdasani reportedly questioned why Pranit uploaded and promoted the clip on social media after the show, which helped it reach a much larger audience.

Elvish Yadav criticized both the audience member and Pranit More, sarcastically remarking that consent does not have an "MRP," implying that spending money on a date does not entitle anyone to intimacy.

The biggest criticism was that Pranit More laughed, rewarded the interaction, and later posted the clip, which many people felt amplified and normalized the audience member's remarks rather than condemning them. Pranit later apologized and admitted that he should have challenged the comments instead of laughing and moving on.
