Bigg Boss 19’s Nehal Chudasama Reacts To Pranit More’s Apology: ‘Growth Begins With Awareness’

Bigg Boss 19 fame Nehal Chudasama has weighed in on the controversy surrounding comedian Pranit More, saying that while what happened at his show was wrong, people should also allow room for growth after accountability is shown. The backlash began after a viral clip from Pranit’s stand-up show showed an audience member suggesting that because he had spent ₹370 on a plate of chicken biryani for a woman on a date, he was entitled to something in return. Pranit laughed at the remark, drawing criticism online. He later issued an apology, admitting he should have intervened and taken responsibility for giving the comments a platform. Nehal has now reacted to his apology.

Nehal Chudasama’s Reaction To Pranit More’s Apology Over ‘Rs 370 Briyani’ Row

Nehal, who was a co-contestant on Bigg Boss 19 with Pranit, took to social media

to share her thoughts after watching his apology video. She wrote, “Like many others, I was extremely uncomfortable watching that clip. The mindset behind those comments is exactly the kind of thinking I have always stood against and will continue to stand against. Anyone who has followed my journey knows that I have consistently spoken up for women. What happened was wrong.”

“But after watching Pranit’s apology, I also believe that accountability is not just about calling out mistakes. It’s about recognizing when someone genuinely reflects, takes responsibility, acknowledges their fault, and apologizes. Coming from a deeply patriarchal society, many people don’t always understand the impact of their words until they are forced to confront them. That doesn’t excuse the behavior, but growth begins with awareness,” she wrote.

‘What Happened Was Wrong, But The Apology Was Right’ Says Nehal

“To me, there is a significant difference between someone who recognizes their mistake and is remorseful, and someone who continues to justify, glorify, or show no regret for that mindset at all. (We know who). As public figures, we absolutely have a responsibility to be mindful of the influence we carry. And yes, mistakes should have consequences. But I also believe that when accountability is shown, growth should be allowed. What happened was wrong. The apology was right,” she further added.

“Both things can be true at the same time. I didn’t speak earlier because I don’t believe in rushing to join every pile-on. And I certainly don’t believe in adding more stones to someone who is already being held accountable. That’s my opinion. Nothing more, nothing less”, she concluded.
