Salman Khan's co-star supports comedian Pranit More amid 'Rs 370 biryani' controversy: 'He's a good boy with right values and...'

As the controversy surrounding stand-up comedian Pranit More has continued to spark debate online, actor Kunickaa Sadanand has come out in support of her former 'Bigg Boss 19' co-contestant following his second public apology in the 'Rs 370 biryani' row.

Kunickaa reacted after Pranit shared a fresh video statement addressing the controversy and admitting that he should have intervened when objectionable remarks were made during a stand-up show.

The actress took to the comments section of Pranit's apology video and urged people to view the incident with perspective. Calling him a "good boy" with the "right values," Kunickaa 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 ppl reacting and laughing. I hope ppl forgive you, and I also hope ppl change their attitude towards women/girls."

Kunickaa also argued how Pranit was not the sole reason behind a "generational mindset" that has existed for years. While extending her support, she said she believed he had inherited many of the attitudes prevalent in society and expressed confidence that he would return with better and more thoughtful content in the future.

"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," she added.

Comedian Pranit More says 'I deserve the hate'

Pranit More on Saturday issued a second apology over the controversial “Rs 370 biryani” remark made during one of his shows, saying he failed to object to the comment in what he termed a “lapse in judgment”.

More and Himanshu Jangra, a web developer, are at the centre of a controversy over remarks made during a comedy show in Gurugram that allegedly glorified coercion and non-consensual conduct towards a woman.

More, who is facing a police case for allegedly disseminating “obscene and objectionable” content, said he regretted giving a platform to Jangra during a crowd interaction segment.
