Rashami Desai slams Pranit More over the Rs 370 biryani controversy; says, “Shame on him”

Pranit More has been making headlines since a clip from his recent comedy show went viral. A 23-year-old boy, Himanshu, can be heard making derogatory remarks while mentioning how he paid Rs 370 on a date for a woman and hence wanted something in return. What made fans mad was that the Bigg Boss 19 fame didn’t question Himanshu’s controversial comments and instead laughed at his statements. Many fellow celebrities have now called out Pranit. Rashami Desai has also reacted to the comments.Rashami called out Pranit More and Himanshu Jangra and posted a reel shared by Praful Garg on her Instagram Stories. In the caption, she wrote, “Praful bhai, this is not comedy. It is a normal talking conversation and it has no content. They start communicating like this when they don’t have content or creativity. Pranit is not an artist. He’s also not a comedian. The fraternity will get trolled unnecessarily; this is really bad for real artists. And this boy has lost his job. Also, Pranit ke bhi shows band hone chahiye. #ShameOnPranit. Shame on Gurgaon Boy.”Several other celebrities, including Elvish Yadav and Malti Chahar, have slammed Pranit over the same. Pranit, on the other hand, had issued an apology over the incident. He has now deactivated his Instagram account.Pranit’s apology post read, “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. Live crowdwork often involves reacting in real time, but that’s not an excuse. I take the feedback seriously and will be more thoughtful in how I handle similar situations going forward.We’ve also removed the video from all our platforms, as I don’t want to amplify or normalize those views.” He further said, “I appreciate everyone who raised their concerns respectfully. I sincerely apologize for whatever happened, and I’ll take this lesson forward. I’m human, and like anyone else, I’m constantly learning. Being called out when I get something wrong doesn’t make me smaller but helps me grow. I accept that I could have handled this better, and I’ll be more mindful never to unintentionally support or normalize such views in the future.”
