Stand-up comedian Pranit More became emotional during a show on June 14, 2026, addressing the controversy stemming from a leaked clip of his performance. He expressed gratitude to his audience in Georgia for their support despite recent events.
More reflected on starting stand-up for joy and sharing happiness, admitting it hurt when that wasn't achieved. He recalled his mother's advice to apologize for mistakes and let actions speak for themselves.
The controversy arose from a crowd-work clip where an audience member described pursuing a woman after buying her biryani, with More amplifying the remarks, which led to widespread criticism for misogyny and consent insensitivity.
The fallout included the audience member losing his job, intervention from the National Commission for Women, and multiple FIRs filed by police. More had issued a public apology acknowledging his lapse in judgment for providing a platform for such comments.
