Pranit More’s recent live show in Georgia on June 14, 2026, drew significant attention across social media platforms after a leaked clip went viral. In the footage, the comedian pauses his routine to address a controversy that had captured public interest. During this segment, More became visibly emotional, directly interacting with his audience and expressing gratitude for their ongoing support amidst challenging circumstances.

As he took the stage, More reflected on his apprehensions about being accepted by the audience. He shared his feelings of joy and relief, saying, “When I came on stage, I wondered if these people would accept me.” The audience responded warmly with applause and affirmations, creating an atmosphere of solidarity for the comedian.

Fighting back tears, More’s emotional response was met with enthusiastic chants of “Jai Maharashtra!” from his supporters. He expressed a deep appreciation for their encouragement, declaring, “Thanks a lot” to those who had continued to back him through this tumultuous time.

Background of the Rs 370 Biryani Controversy

The controversy surrounding Pranit More stemmed from a viral clip during one of his shows, where an audience member made sexist remarks following an account of purchasing biryani worth Rs 370. The individual’s comments suggested an expectation of entitlement based on this financial transaction, which attracted considerable backlash regarding misogyny and consent.

Rather than defusing the situation, More allegedly amplified the derogatory comments, leading to widespread public outrage. The fallout from the incident was rapid; the involved audience member lost his job, the National Commission for Women (NCW) became involved, and police initiated multiple FIRs regarding the incident.

In the aftermath, More publicly acknowledged his misjudgment in handling the exchange and issued an apology for his actions. He admitted that he should have taken a firmer stance against the comments made by the audience member.

Personal Reflections on the Controversy

During his address at the show, More reminisced about his mother’s advice during this difficult period. He quoted her reassurance, stating, “You made a mistake and apologised. Your behaviour will show it.” This wisdom seemed to resonate deeply with him, as he processed the audience’s reaction and their support.

More further stated, “So many things happened. Look, I didn’t start doing stand-up for money or fame. I got into stand-up because it brought me joy.” This affirmation of purpose underscored the importance of his connection with the audience, reinforcing his commitment to bringing joy to others through his performances.

As he concluded his emotional proclamation, More expressed profound gratitude once again, saying, “Thank you so much for giving me another chance.” His heartfelt remarks highlighted the significant impact of the experience on both himself and the audience, solidifying a memorable moment in his career as a stand-up comedian.
