Pranit More turns emotional during first live show after viral Rs 370 biryani row
Comedian Pranit More broke down during a live show while addressing the viral 'Rs 370 biryani' controversy. A clip of the emotional moment has since surfaced online, showing the audience rallying behind him.
A leaked clip from standup comedian Pranit More's recent live show went viral across multiple social media platforms, drawing widespread attention and sparking conversations among fans and viewers. The footage captured the comedian pausing his performance to address the recent controversy surrounding him, before becoming visibly emotional while speaking directly to the audience.
The video claims the clip to be from his Georgia show which took place on June 14, 2026. During the moment, More reflected on the situation, expressed gratitude to those who continued supporting him, and thanked the audience for standing by him through a difficult phase.
He said, "Jab main stage pe aaya to mujhe laga ki kya ye log mujhe accept karenge. Mujhe bohot hi accha laga ki tum log bohot supportive the jo bhi cheezein huin uske baad bhi (When I came on stage, I wondered if these people would accept me. I felt really good that you all were so supportive, even after everything that happened). So, thanks a lot."
Fighting back tears on stage, More was met with a shout of 'Jai Maharashtra!' from the audience, as fans rallied behind the stand-up comedian with applause and cries of 'We love you.'
"Itni saari cheezein ho gayin. Dekho maine standup chalu hi isliye nahi kiya tha ki paise aayenge ya famous hone ke liye. Main jo job karta tha uske baad main standup me aaya kyunki isse mujhe khushi milti hai. Aur humesha point ye tha ki baaki logo ko bhi khushi mile. Aur ye jab nahi hota to thoda bura to lagta hai (So many things happened. Look, I didn't start doing stand-up for money or to become famous. After the job I used to do, I got into stand-up because it brought me joy. And the point was always to bring joy to other people as well. So when that doesn't happen, it does hurt a bit)," More added.
Recalling his mother's advice during that phase, the standup comedian said, "Meri mummy be mujhe ek hi cheez boli ki 'Tune galti ki aur sorry bol diya. Tere behaviour se dikh jaega'. Main bola 'Agar unhe nahi pasand aaya to'. Mummy ne bola 'Galti to sabhi karte hain. Tum me se aisa koi jisne kabhi galti nahi ki hai. To fir main ye nahin karunga bhai (My mom told me just one thing: 'You made a mistake and apologised. Your behaviour will show it.' I asked, 'What if they still don't like it?' Mom said, 'Everyone makes mistakes. Is there anyone among you who has never made a mistake?' So then I won't do this, brother)."
While thanking the audience, More got emotional once again. "So thanks a lot mujhe fir se chance dene ke liye. Bohot show kiye hain maine. Ye show aur tum log mujhe humesha yaad rahoge (So thank you so much for giving me another chance. I have done a lot of shows, but I will always remember this show and all of you)," he concluded.
The "Rs 370 Biryani controversy" erupted when a crowd-work clip from stand-up comedian Pranit More’s show went viral. During the show, an audience member recounted pursuing a woman after buying her biryani worth Rs 370 and described how he violated her.
In his mind, that transaction created an expectation. He believed he had spent money and now deserved access to her body in return. Rather than shutting down the derogatory remarks, More amplified the exchange, prompting significant public outrage over misogyny and consent.
The fallout was swift: the audience member lost his job, the National Commission for Women (NCW) intervened, and police filed multiple FIRs. More issued a public apology, admitting a major lapse in judgment for giving the remarks a platform.
