Stand-up comedian Pranit More has publicly apologized, admitting he could have stopped the controversial remarks made during his show but failed to do so.
Stand-up comedian Pranit More has issued a public apology in connection with the viral ₹370 biryani controversy, acknowledging that he made a “lapse in judgment” during a crowd-work segment that later sparked widespread criticism online.
In a video statement released on social media, More admitted that he had the opportunity to stop certain remarks made during the interaction but failed to intervene. He said that, in hindsight, he should have acted differently and expressed regret over the incident.
The controversy revolves around Gurugram resident Himanshu Jangra and remarks made during a comedy show that later went viral across social media platforms. The clip triggered significant public debate, with many users criticizing the comments and demanding accountability from those involved.
Addressing the backlash, More stated that he never intended to cause harm or offend individuals but accepted responsibility for not exercising better judgment during the performance. He also extended an apology to those who felt hurt or offended by the remarks.
The comedian further said he would cooperate fully with any ongoing investigations and legal proceedings related to the matter.
The controversy has already taken a legal turn, with Maharashtra Cyber Police registering an FIR against multiple individuals reportedly linked to the incident. Authorities are examining the circumstances surrounding the viral video and the statements made during the performance.
The case has reignited discussions around the limits of comedy, freedom of expression, crowd-work interactions, and the responsibilities of performers during live shows.
Social media reactions remain divided, with some users welcoming More’s apology while others argue that stronger accountability measures are necessary.
As legal proceedings continue, authorities are expected to determine whether any laws were violated in connection with the incident.
