Commenting on his video, Kunickaa Sadanand wrote, “Everyone makes mistakes, but not everyone has the courage to own it. @rj_pranit you are a good boy, with right values, but as I always said, roasting or crowd work can carry you away, especially as an entertainer when you see people reacting and laughing. I hope people forgive you, and I also hope they change their attitude towards women/girls. You were not the cause of a generational mindset; you were one of the many who inherited this mindset from generations of objectification. God bless you; I’m sure you will be back with brilliant content. Stay strong, stay mindful.”

Celebrities slam Pranit More

Despite Kunickaa Sadanand’s support, many celebrities continued to criticise Pranit More. Dhurandhar fame Ayesha Khan reshared a clip that slammed Pranit for apologising over his ‘lapse of judgement’. Irrfan Khan’s wife Sutapa Sikdar wrote, “Should women always forgive?” as she reshared a screen grab of Pranit More’s story. Rashami Desai strongly condemned Pranit and wrote on Instagram, “This is not comedy; it has no content. Pranit is not an artist, also not a comedian. The fraternity will get trolled; this is really bad for real artists. Pranit ke bhi shows band hone chahiye.” Other celebs like Khusha Kapila, Elvish Yadav, Reem Shaikh, Devoleena Bhattacharjee, and Malti Chahar also reacted to the issue.

On Saturday, Himanshu Jangra, who sparked the controversy with a remark about spending Rs 370 on biryani for a woman on a date and expecting sexual favours in return, also addressed the issue. During a conversation with the owner of Starvik Designs, where Himanshu worked, the 23-year-old said, “My condition has been getting worse. I am being trolled on Instagram for the last two weeks. For a week, no one at home knew about it; not even people in my hometown knew. But then my uncle came across the clips and rebuked me; later, a few close relatives also saw the clip and informed my parents. My parents called me back and asked about it. I accepted my mistake, and they scolded me, and it was okay even till this point. But then they came to know that I was fired, and they became very tense. Now, when I see them, I am filled with regret for going on the show. The story I spoke about: yes, I dated a girl for a while, but what I said there was not totally true. I improvised bits of it, seeing how the others were sharing their stories.”
