Comedian Pranit More's crowd-work shows continue to face scrutiny online, with a fresh viral clip sparking outrage amid the ongoing Rs 370 biryani controversy. This time, social media users have called out a female doctor whose comments about male cadavers during one of More's performances have been widely criticised as insensitive and inappropriate.
The controversy comes days after More was embroiled in backlash over a separate crowd interaction in which an audience member, identified as Himanshu Jangra, implied that spending Rs 370 on a plate of biryani during a date entitled him to something in return. The clip triggered widespread condemnation online, with many accusing both the audience member and the comedian of normalising problematic attitudes. More later issued a public apology, admitting that he should have challenged the remarks instead of laughing and moving on.
Now, another video from Pranit More's show has surfaced. In the clip, a woman identified online as doctor Sejal Pawar is seen speaking about male cadavers and joking about their private parts. According to reports, she remarked that she and some of her colleagues would compare the sizes of male cadavers' private parts, drawing laughter from the audience.
The comments quickly attracted criticism across social media, with many users arguing that cadavers deserve dignity and respect. One user wrote, "As a medical student, mocking a cadaver is one of the worst things you can do." Another stated, "There are certain things in life that should never be mocked, and a cadaver is one of them." The criticism continues as fans find former videos of Pranit's crowd-work shows.
The resurfaced clip has reignited conversations about the nature of crowd-work comedy and the responsibility of performers when audience interactions cross ethical lines. Several users questioned why controversial comments from audience members were being amplified as entertainment, especially when they involve sensitive subjects.
As criticism mounted, social media users noted that Pawar's Instagram account had reportedly been made private. Meanwhile, More continues to face backlash over the earlier biryani row, which has already led to intense online debate, celebrity reactions, and renewed scrutiny of his content.
