Comedian Pranit More found himself amid a controversy earlier this month after an audience member made insensitive comments about women on his show. The 23-year-old man named Himanshu Jangra later apologised and deleted his social media accounts. Similarly, Pranit also apologised and stated that the ‘comments made by the audience member do not reflect my views’. Nevertheless, the National Commission for Women (NCW) took suo motu cognisance of the comment and summoned them in the matter.
