Kunal Kamra takes a sharp jibe at Pranit More's apology over Rs 370 biryani row
Kunal Kamra mocked Pranit More's apology as the Rs 370 biryani row from his show continued. The exchange has kept attention on Himanshu Jangra's remark, the backlash and More's response.
Amid the row over a Rs 370 biryani remark made during comedian Pranit More's show, comedian Kunal Kamra has taken a jibe at More's apology. The controversy began after 23-year-old Himanshu Jangra said he had gone on a date with a woman, paid Rs 370 for a plate of chicken biryani and therefore deserved a “return” on his investment.
The remark sparked backlash on social media, with More also facing criticism after he laughed and gave Jangra the platform to speak on the show. Following the backlash, More issued a second apology through a video statement and asked for a second chance to improve as a person.
Reacting to the apology, Kamra wrote on X, “Things comedians should stop hiding behind 1. Storytelling. 2. Crowd Work. 3. Hard Work 4. Bank Balance. 5. Parents.” In a separate post, Kamra also tweeted, “Pranit More makes Harsh Gujral look like Barrack Obama.”
