Tanya Mittal defends Pranit More over ‘Rs 370 biryani’ row, calls out backlash

“You should stop at a certain point. Criticise, raise questions about someone… then stop. At least ensure that his family can continue to live in society… he is a human being too, and humans make mistakes,” Tanya further told Fever FM. She also argued that where Pranit is today, any one of his detractors could come under the same scanner another day for making a comment in jest.

About the Rs 370 biryani controversy

The controversy erupted after a viral video from Pranit More’s recent Gurgaon show had an audience member, Himanshu Jangra, claim that after he paid Rs 370 for a biryani date with a woman, he expected physical intimacy in return. Pranit, instead of condemning his sexist joke that endorsed non-consensual intimacy, quipped that it was “peak Gurgaon behaviour.”

Instead of chopping that part off the video, he uploaded it on his social media, which eventually invited a lot of backlash against both him and Himanshu. After facing massive trolling online, Pranit was forced to deactivate his Instagram account. Meanwhile, Himashu also faced a lot of flak online, which even translated to his Gurgaon job getting terminated.
