Pranit More Apologises Over ₹370 Biryani Row; Kunickaa Sadanand, Kishwer Merchant, Shehbaz Badesha & Other Celebrities Support Him

Stand-up comedian Pranit More made headlines after a video from his show went viral on social media, in which a man joked that he felt entitled to physical intimacy because he spent Rs 370 on a chicken biryani while on a date with a girl. Pranit laughed at the guy's statement, and the comedian is facing a lot of backlash on social media.

On Saturday, he shared a video in which he apologised, and many celebrities like Kishwer Merchant, Shehbaz Badesha and others commented on the post and supported Pranit.

Kunickaa Sadanand, who was with Pranit in Bigg Boss 19, commented, "Everyone makes mistakes, but not everyone has the courage to own it. @rj_pranit you are a good boy, with right values, but as i always said roasting or crowd work can carry you away, especially as an entertainer, when you see ppl reacting and laughing. I hope ppl forgive you, and i also hope ppl change their attitude towards women/girls. You were not the cause of a generational mindset, you were one of the many who inherited this mindset from generations of objectification. God bless you, i’m sure you will be back with brilliant content. stay strong stay mindful (sic)."

Kishwer commented, "Am sure people will forgive you, just be mindful and very careful of the content and crowdwork u do! Stay strong! (sic)."

Shehbaz wrote, "U r best bro galti maaf krne vale bade hote hai. u accepted thats great (sic)."

Sanuj Singh Sachdev commented, "Duniya mein bohut galat ho raha hai.. ye kuch bhi nahi hai. Ur intention was not to hurt anyone. I know its a thin line to make people laugh on ur jokes and encouraging something which is derogatory or insulting. Pull up ur socks and get back on the stage (sic)."

Main yehi request karna chahta hoon ki please mujhe ek chance do, main better insaan banke dikhaunga (I apologise to anyone who has been hurt by this.
