Pranit on doing comedy not for money
Pranit More said he chose stand-up comedy because it made him happy, not to become famous or earn money. He shared that his biggest dream has always been to make people smile and laugh. He shared, “Itni saari cheezein ho gayin. Dekho maine standup chalu hi isliye nahi kiya tha ki paise aayenge ya famous hone ke liye. Main jo job karta tha uske baad main standup me aaya kyunki isse mujhe khushi milti hai. Aur humesha point ye tha ki baaki logo ko bhi khushi mile. Aur ye jab nahi hota to thoda bura to lagta hai (So many things happened. Look, I didn’t start doing stand-up for money or to become famous. After the job I used to do, I got into stand-up because it brought me joy. And the point was always to bring joy to other people as well. So when that doesn’t happen, it does hurt a bit),”Pranit further spoke about his mother’s advise after the viral controversy. The Bigg Boss 19 fame shared that his mother told him that saying sorry was important, but proving it through his actions was even more important. He said, “Meri mummy be mujhe ek hi cheez boli ki ‘Tune galti ki aur sorry bol diya. Tere behaviour se dikh jaega’. Main bola ‘Agar unhe nahi pasand aaya to’. Mummy ne bola ‘Galti to sabhi karte hain. Tum me se aisa koi jisne kabhi galti nahi ki hai. To fir main ye nahin karunga bhai (My mom told me just one thing: ‘You made a mistake and apologised. Your behaviour will show it.’ I asked, ‘What if they still don’t like it?’ Mom said, ‘Everyone makes mistakes. Is there anyone among you who has never made a mistake?’ So then I won’t do this, brother).”Towards the end of the show, Pranit thanked the audience once again for their support and also for giving him another chance. He got emotional and said, “So thanks a lot mujhe fir se chance dene ke liye. Bohot show kiye hain maine. Ye show aur tum log mujhe humesha yaad rahoge (So thank you so much for giving me another chance. I have done a lot of shows, but I will always remember this show and all of you).”For the uninitiated, in June 2026, during his show, 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.
