The ₹370 biryani remark on comedian Pranit More's show has sparked a massive backlash on social media. 23-year-old Himanshu Jangra said that he went on a date with a woman where he paid ₹370 for a plate of chicken biryani, and therefore deserved a “return” on his investment. Pranit laughed and gave him the platform to speak on the show. Himanshu later apologised and deleted his social media accounts. Meanwhile, Pranit also apologised and said ‘comments made by the audience member do not reflect my views’.
Khushboo went on to add, “Ye 22-23 saal ka ladka hain aur aisa dimaag hain iss ladke ke andar. Uskey top ke andar usko haath daalna tha. Dekh lo ladkiyo tumhari pyjama tak ki baat aa gayi… kya mast samah baandh diya hain usne waah. Mandir ko mall mein convert kar diya lekin iske pehle iss comedian ke dimaag mein ye nahi aaya ki jo gandagi wo ugal raha hain woh uss cheez ko waha roka jaaye? Ye prasad chadana kya hota hain (This is what the 22-23 year old men are saying. See girls what they want to do. Look at the laughter in the show. I am shocked how the comedian did not stop this man from spewing such dirt on the show).”
She concluded, “Ye padhe likhe jitne bhi gawaar hain ye hamara rate tay karte hain. Hum chote hain toh rate tay karenge, college main rate tay karenge, date pe jaa rahe hain kisi ke saath toh rate tay karenge. Aur shaadi ke baad sasural aur pati dowry mein rate tay karenge. Puri zindagi hamari rate hi hoga (These educated fools will determine our rates. It starts when we go to school, then at college, then at a date and finally after marriage with dowry).” Khushboo showed a traditional Nepali knife named Khukuri and urged women to buy that instead.
In his statement after the backlash, Pranit wrote, "I’ve seen the criticism regarding a recent crowdwork clip. The comments made by the audience member do not reflect my views. Looking back, I should have challenged the remark instead of laughing and moving on. That was a lapse in judgment on my part."
"I appreciate everyone who raised their concerns respectfully. I sincerely apologise for whatever happened, and I’ll take this lesson forward. I’m human, and like anyone else, I’m constantly learning," he concluded.
