In the wake of backlash involving Pranit More, comparisons are being drawn with Samay Raina's India’s Got Latent controversy. The current debate stems from a viral 'Rs 370 biryani' remark linked to an audience interaction, which sparked criticism over consent and humour boundaries. While the Latent controversy has largely settled, observers note that More's case is still unfolding in real time.

In the world of digital entertainment, controversies often go hand in hand. The recent situation involving stand-up comedian Pranit More comes at a time when the conversation around online content regulation, humour boundaries, and audience sensitivity is once again in the spotlight. Interestingly, comparisons are being drawn with comedian Samay Raina and the controversy surrounding his show India's Got Latent in 2025.

The Latent controversy sparked major backlash after podcaster Ranveer Allahbadia, popularly known as BeerBiceps, made an offensive remark during the show, involving an inappropriate hypothetical question directed at a contestant. The comment triggered widespread criticism online, leading to multiple FIRs being filed not only against Ranveer but also against Samay Raina, Apoorva Mukhija, and Ashish Chanchlani. The episode became a defining moment in discussions around the limits of comedy and digital responsibility.

While the controversy around Latent has gradually settled, it remains a reference point in debates about how quickly situations can come under scrutiny.

In contrast, More now finds himself at the centre of a fresh wave of criticism following the circulation of the controversial 'Rs 370 biryani' remark made by Himanshu Jangra, a 22-year-old from Gurugram. An audience member, he allegedly said he went on a date with a woman where he paid Rs 370 for a plate of chicken biryani and therefore deserved a 'return' on his investment, implying physical intimacy. The comment was widely condemned online for promoting a transactional and problematic view of consent.
