Comedian Munawar Faruqui has spoken out about the trolling faced by Pranit More following the viral Rs 370 biryani controversy . He urged people to stop targeting those involved and appealed to social media users to move on from the matter.



For the uninitiated, the controversy started after a video from Pranit More's recent stand-up show went viral and sparked widespread criticism online. In the clip, 23-year-old Himanshu Jangra said that he had spent Rs 370 on a plate of chicken biryani during a date and therefore expected a “return” on that expense.

His comment drew strong reactions on social media and netizens slammed both Pranit and Himanshu. After the severe backlash, both Himanshu and Pranit apologised by issuing a video and also deactivated their social media accounts for sometime.



Munawar has now urged social media users to stop dragging the controversy further. Sharing a video on his Instagram Story, the comedian admitted that certain remarks made during the incident were inappropriate but pointed out that those involved had already faced enough consequences.



Munawar said, "Mujhe lagta hai ab hum sabko tham jana chahiye. Comedian ne bahut galat baat boli, crowd work mein bhi bahut galat baat hui. Uss ladki ne bhi jo bola, main usse disagree karta hoon. Unhone jo bola, mujhe sunna pasand nahi hai, lekin ek level hota hai (I think all of us need to stop now. The comedian said something very wrong, and what happened during the crowd-work segment was also deeply problematic. I also disagree with what that woman said. I did not like hearing any of it, but there has to be a limit).”
