The controversy surrounding a viral comment made during comedian Pranit More's show continues to gather momentum, with actor and content creator Kusha Kapila becoming the latest creator to weigh in.

The remark triggered widespread outrage online.

Kusha Kapila Urges Women To Call Out Offensive Content

Reacting to the backlash, Kusha Kapila shared an Instagram Story encouraging women not to remain silent when confronted with such content.

She wrote, “Urge women to call out disgusting comedy plenty. Please darna mat (Don't feel scared). Bakwaas kiya he toh drag karo badiya se (If they have spoken nonsense then feel free to drag it too). Uploading a clip like that is a choice. Choosing to crack certain jokes and hosting that on your channel is a choice. This, btw, is not comedy. This is content designed to get a reaction. I am so glad that so many women are calling it out.”

She further added, “Bahut achcha lag raha hai! Bahut mazza aa raha hai! Aaj main apne paiso se order karke biryani khaungi (I feel amazing, it feels great to see this. I will order biryani with my own money and eat it tonight).”

Kusha also questioned attempts to separate the audience member’s comments from the platform on which they were amplified. She argued that accountability could not be avoided simply by claiming the remarks came from an audience participant.

Sakshi Shivdasani Questions Pranit More’s Response

Influencer Sakshi Shivdasani was among the many social media personalities who criticised both the original remark and the subsequent apology.

Responding to Pranit More’s statement, she wrote, “Pranit More saying 'the views of my audience members don't reflect what i think,' but sir has clipped it and posted it on Instagram because he found it so f**king funny that a man paying on a date thinks he has bought the right to sleep with a woman.”

She followed that with a stronger criticism of the broader reaction to the controversy, saying, "And then the company the guy works for firing him but caveating that we must reflect and change when this creepy GROWN man has no desire to reflect or change and thinks he deserves sex for paying on a date is proof that there are consequences for men only because women raise their voices and not because men think there's anything wrong so don't let anyone gaslight you ever that 'it's not a big deal' and more importantly don't let anyone gaslight you that it's not all men. Gross and disgusting btw."
