Stand-up comedian, YouTuber, and television personality Pranit More has found himself at the center of controversy after a clip from his crowd-work show went viral on social media. The video drew widespread criticism after viewers noticed More laughing at a derogatory comment made by an audience member about a woman.

The incident quickly triggered outrage online, with many users accusing the comedian of failing to challenge inappropriate behavior on stage. As criticism intensified, More issued a public apology and admitted that his reaction was a mistake.

Audience Member's Comment Triggers Controversy

The viral clip comes from one of Pranit More’s live crowd-work performances, where he interacts directly with audience members. During the show, a spectator shared a story involving a woman and made a highly offensive remark while describing the situation.

According to the video, the man claimed he had spent money on a chicken biryani meal for a woman and later suggested that he expected to "recover" the money he had spent. The comment was widely viewed as disrespectful and misogynistic.

Instead of immediately objecting to the statement, More appeared to laugh at the remark. This reaction did not sit well with many social media users, who felt he should have condemned the comment rather than treating it as a joke.
