'Ye Hate Mai Deserve Karta Hu': Pranit More Apologises Again Amid Rs 370 Biryani Controversy, Seeks Second Chance
Comedian Pranit More has issued a public apology over the Rs 370 biryani controversy, admitting a lapse in judgement and seeking a second chance as legal proceedings continue in Maharashtra.

Comedian Pranit More has publicly apologised in connection with the viral Rs 370 biryani controversy, acknowledging what he described as a serious error in judgement during an interaction that later triggered widespread criticism online. The comedian said he had been hoping to speak about the issue for a while, but his suspended Instagram account prevented him from doing so.
Having finally broken his silence, More appealed to the public for an opportunity to make amends and prove that he has learned from the controversy.
Pranit More Admits ‘Lapse Of Judgement’
Addressing the backlash, More accepted responsibility for his actions and reflected on how the situation unfolded during a crowd-work segment at one of his shows.
He said, "Mujhe aisa lagta hai ki ye hate mai deserve bhi karta hu. Uss ladke se Jab mai crowd work kar raha tha uss ladke ne kaafi deregatory cheeze boli, mai bhi carried away ho gaya, mujhse lapse of judgement ho gaya. Mujhe lagta hai ye meri kaafi badi galati thi. Mai chahta toh usko waha par hi rok sakta tha ya stand le sakta tha" [I feel that I deserved this hate. While I was doing crowd work, that guy made several derogatory remarks, and I got carried away as well. It was a lapse in judgment on my part. I believe it was a mistake. I could have stopped him right there or taken a stand at that moment.]
The comedian stated that he should have handled the moment differently and suggested that he had the time to intervene but failed to do so.
