Stand-up comedian Pranit More returned to the stage for the first time since facing online backlash over the ₹370 biryani controversy, in which he was criticised for not challenging an audience member's misogynistic remark during a crowd-work segment.
A leaked clip from his June 14, 2026 show in Georgia shows him becoming emotional as he admitted uncertainty about how the crowd would receive him.
He thanked the audience for their support, said he entered comedy for joy rather than money or fame, and shared his mother's advice that his behaviour after apologising would show his change.
The video has since gone viral, highlighting how the controversy and his response continue to draw public attention.
