Ayesha Khan Says 'We Are Not Angry Enough' About Pranit More's Rs 370 Biryani Video: 'Where Are We Headed?'

Pranit More is currently making headlines for promoting a misogynist joke on his social media. Actress Ayesha Khan has called out Pranit More for supporting the problematic joke made by web developer Himanshu Jangra during a show in Gurugram. Himanshu claimed that after spending Rs 370 on chicken biryani for a woman, he expected a “return” on that investment in the form of physical intimacy.

He further said that when the woman asked him to drop her home after the meal, he was surprised, adding, “Maine kaha ki Rs 370 lage hain to use to wasool to karunga hi.” Pranit More, instead of calling out the man, supported his joke by laughing along and even sharing his clip on his social media account. Ayesha Khan took to Instagram to slam both Pranit and Himanshu.

The actress wrote, “The way every man in the room is laughing is scary to even watch, the way the host is laughing, the fact that iss reel ke post hone ke pehle is pe thought diya gaya hai aur phir bhi post hui hai is scary, we are not angry enough for what has happened. You went on a date, spent 370 rupees, and you thought you had rights on the woman’s body? Where are we headed? What’s wrong?”

Ayesha Khan is a recent entry on the list of celebs who have called out Pranit. For the unversed, as criticism mounted, Himanshu issued an apology, deactivated his social media account and was later reportedly terminated by his Gurugram-based employer. Pranit also issued an apology and said that his views didn’t match Himanshu’s statement. However, Kusha Kapila called out his hypocrisy.

Kusha Kapila shared a series of videos on Instagram, arguing that accountability does not stop with the person making the remark. She said, “But jo mere audience ke views hain, wo mere views nahin hai? Ho sakte hain agar aap usko clip karke uski reel daalenge. Uss par editor ne kaam kiya hai, us par yeh socha gaya hai ki usko 90 second ki clip kaise banayi jaaye.”

She continued, “Jab sab hai, to aap kaise keh sakte hain ki aapke views reflect nahin hote hain? Agar aap un views ko badhava de rahe hain, shabashi de rahe hain, to wo to aapke bhi views hain.” Kusha also argued that content creators have a responsibility to call out harmful behaviour instead of amplifying it.
