Actress Kriti Kharbanda, recently seen in the second season of the streaming series 'Rana Naidu', has broken her silence on the ongoing controversy sparked by an audience member's objectionable remarks during comedian Pranit More's stand-up performance. The actress took to her Instagram Stories with a sharp and witty dig that quickly captured the attention of netizens.
Kriti Kharbanda's Witty Response
Kriti Kharbanda shared a picture of herself on Instagram Stories with a caption that appeared to target the person behind the viral remarks. She wrote, "Manifesting (Not) the confidence of someone who treats Rs 370 like venture capital. Inflation is temporary. Delusion is forever." Although she did not directly name the controversy or any individual, social media users swiftly linked her post to the viral crowd-work clip from Pranit More's show that has sparked widespread outrage.
Details of the Controversy
The controversy erupted when an audience member claimed during the show that he had spent Rs 370 on chicken biryani for a woman on a date and felt entitled to "recover" his money, implying he was owed physical intimacy in return. The clip went viral, triggering intense criticism and sparking conversations about misogyny and consent across social media platforms.
Other Celebrities Speak Out
Kriti Kharbanda is not the only celebrity to condemn the remarks. Actors like Ayesha Khan and Rashami Desai have also publicly criticised the comments, adding their voices to the growing backlash. Even the Mumbai Police joined the conversation, sharing a social media awareness post about the importance of consent.
