Kunickaa Sadanand, Kunal Kamra Take Sharp Jibes At Pranit More Amid Rs 370 Biryani Row

The controversy surrounding comedian Pranit More’s viral crowd-work clip continues to spark debate online, but actor Kunickaa Sadanand believes the conversation should move beyond memes and outrage. Also, comedian Kunal Kamra has responded, taking a sharp dig at Pranit More and the incident at Gurugram. This incident has taken over the internet and has questioned varied themes of consent, modern dating and women’s safety in India. Scroll down to read what happened.

Kunickaa Sadanand, Kunal Kamra Take Sharp Jibes At Pranit More Amid Rs 370 Biryani Row

A day after publicly supporting More following his second apology, Kunickaa shared a video on social media arguing that the Rs 370 biryani row exposes a much deeper social issue about entitlement, consent and emotional guilt. “People are making jokes and memes about the Rs.370 biryani debate on social media. But I think there is a very deep social issue behind this controversy. In our society, many people still think that if they pay for dinner, give a gift, sponsor a trip, then there is an obligation on the other person.”

She said that many women internalise this feeling even when no one explicitly pressures them. The actor said, “And many girls start feeling guilty within themselves without any pressure. As if someone has written a debt on them. Or they don’t deserve it. Or they are not so good that somebody can do something.”

Kunickaa stressed that consent can never be treated as something that can be purchased. “A person’s consent cannot be bought with Rs.370 biryani. A coffee, a gift, an expensive dinner, or even lakhs of expenses cannot be the price tag of another person’s autonomy, dignity, and choice,” she said. The veteran added, “370 rupaye ki biryani se shuru hui baat… lekin sawaal usse kahin bada hai. Kya kindness ka matlab return karna hota hai? Ya sirf gratitude kaafi hai?”

Kunal Kamra REACTS

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. 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.”

About The Gurugram Stand-Up Show Controversy

A clip from Pranit More’s stand-up show in Gurugram began circulating on social media, featuring an interaction with audience member Himanshu Jangra, who was recounting an experience from a date. In the clip, Jangra implied that after spending Rs 370 on a plate of chicken biryani during a date, he expected something in return from the woman. He remarked, “Maine kaha ki Rs 370 lage hain to use to wasool to karunga hi.” He felt entitled to physical intimacy because he paid for the meal. The clip drew widespread criticism online for its problematic content.

Later, the controversy took another turn after a longer version of the stand-up interaction surfaced online. The longer clip showed Jangra going into graphic detail about how he physically grabbed his date and got intimate with her while Pranit continued to laugh, and the audience cheered. After the backlash, Pranit and Himanshu issued fresh apologies over the Rs 370 biryani row in separate video statements.
