Months after facing intense online backlash over a viral crowd-work clip involving an audience member's remarks on dating and ₹370 biryani, comedian Pranit More got visibly emotional during his first live performance since the row, in a leaked video that has now gone viral.
Comedian Pranit More broke down on stage during a recent performance, visibly emotional over a recent controversy that erupted over a ₹370 biryani incident from June 2026. The comedian had addressed the audience directly, expressing uncertainty about how they would react to him after the backlash. In a clip from a Georgia show on June 14, 2026, Pranit admitted to wondering if the crowd would accept him after the controversy and thanked them for their support despite the criticism.
He also reflected on his motivations for pursuing stand-up comedy, stating that it brought him joy and the purpose was to bring happiness to others. Pranit shared a conversation with his mother about the situation, recalling her advice to apologize and accept responsibility for her mistake.
