Elvish Yadav Calls Out BB19 Fame Pranit More Supporting Misogynistic Joke

Elvish Yadav has called out Pranit More for supporting a problematic and misogynistic joke made by an audience member at his recent show. During a show in Gurugram, web developer Himanshu Jangra claimed that after spending Rs 370 on chicken biryani for a woman, he expected a “return” on that investment in the form of physical intimacy.

He further said that when the woman asked him to drop her home after the meal, he was surprised, adding, “Maine kaha ki Rs 370 lage hain to use to wasool to karunga hi.” Instead of calling out the man, Pranit More supported his joke by laughing along and even sharing his clip on his social media account.

Elvish Yadav took to his X account and wrote, “Rs 370 ki biryani ne do cheezein expose kar di: Ek aadmi ko laga consent ka MRP hota hai. Aur ek comedian ko laga har uncomfortable silence ko laughter track se bachaya ja sakta hai. Biryani toh dum pe bani thi, controversy ego pe.” Both Pranit’s clip and Himanshu’s statement have faced severe backlash for promoting rape culture.

Kusha Kapila REACTS To Pranit More’s VIRAL Video

Kusha Kapila also shared a series of videos on Instagram, emphasising that accountability does not stop with the person remarking. She said, “But jo mere audience ke views hain, wo mere views nahin hai? Ho sakte hain agar aap usko clip karke uski reel daalenge. Uss par editor ne kaam kiya hai, us par yeh socha gaya hai ki usko 90 second ki clip kaise banayi jaaye.”

She continued, “Jab sab hai, to aap kaise keh sakte hain ki aapke views reflect nahin hote hain? Agar aap un views ko badhava de rahe hain, shabashi de rahe hain, to wo to aapke bhi views hain.” Kusha also argued that content creators have a responsibility to call out harmful behaviour instead of amplifying it.

Dolly Singh Breaks Silence

Reacting to the controversy, influencer Dolly Singh shared a detailed note on social media, addressing male comedians and content creators and calling for greater accountability. She wrote, “If you can act all mature, open-minded, women-respecting (saying you’re a feminist ally would be a stretch) in your sets and overall media footprint, please at least try to act the same performative act in your crowdwork and Instagram too!”

She further added, “Of course there are many misogynistic pieces of s*** male creators/comics; what can we even say to them? But those who are at least nice (main toh performative hi bolungi vaise), I request you please bring it to your audience interactions too, online or offline.”

As criticism mounted, Himanshu issued an apology, deactivated his social media account, and was later reportedly terminated by his Gurugram-based employer.
