Bigg Boss 19 fame Pranit More is facing severe backlash for supporting a misogynistic joke made by an audience member during his recent stand-up show. The incident occurred when an attendee, Himanshu Jangra from Gurugram, sparked outrage by claiming that spending Rs370 on a woman's meal entitled him to physical intimacy in return. The remark has drawn widespread condemnation from celebrities and the public alike.
Sunil Pal's Strong Response
Comedian and actor Sunil Pal has shared his views on the controversial 'Rs370 biryani' remark. In an interview with IANS, Pal criticized comedians who use obscene content for financial gain, labeling them as 'terrorists of society.'
Pal stated, "The obscenity these boys and girls try to do in the name of comedy ends up running their homes, but it is ruining the youth of the country. That's why I always call such people the terrorists of society, because I believe what is not understood does not belong to society."
He further urged venues hosting comedy shows to implement strict guidelines to ensure only clean content is delivered. "Those venues hosting such shows also need to come up with strict laws and rules that no such program will happen here, no abuses will be given, no obscene content will be used and only then I feel that a little bit of control can be achieved on this because today society, and comedians like us and the people who watch our content, are scared, and in a panic," he added.
Criticism of Pranit More's Bigg Boss Appearance
Hinting at Pranit More's time in the Bigg Boss 19 house, Pal questioned why such individuals receive so much attention. "The media is panicked, wondering why such people get so much attention, why they are invited to shows like 'Big Boss'? Where are the comedians who do clean comedy? Unless we promote such comedians, people like these will continue to find a market."
Pal concluded with an appeal: "My appeal to the viewers, the media, and the venues that host their shows is to make strict laws."
Background of the Controversy
