Kriti Kharbanda's Bold Response to Controversial Remarks at Pranit More's Show
Kriti Kharbanda Speaks Out Amid Controversy
Mumbai: Kriti Kharbanda, the popular Hindi film actress, recently made headlines following her appearance in the second season of the streaming series ‘Rana Naidu’. She has addressed the uproar stemming from inappropriate comments made by an audience member during comedian Pranit More’s stand-up performance.
Taking to her Instagram Stories, Kriti shared a striking image of herself along with a pointed critique aimed at the individual who made the offensive remarks about women. She expressed her thoughts by stating that while inflation may be a fleeting issue, delusion is a lasting condition.
In her post, she remarked, “Manifesting (Not) the confidence of someone who treats Rs 370 like venture capital. Inflation is temporary. Delusion is forever.”
Her comments quickly gained traction online, with many users associating her words with the controversial clip from Pranit More’s show that has recently ignited significant backlash.
Although Kriti did not explicitly reference the incident or any specific individual in her story, social media users swiftly made connections due to the timing and phrasing of her message. Her clever remark, particularly the analogy of INR 370 to ‘venture capital’, was widely interpreted as a sarcastic commentary on the prevailing discussions.
The controversy erupted when an audience member boasted about spending INR 370 on chicken biryani for a woman during a date, suggesting he was entitled to ‘recover’ his investment, heavily insinuating a demand for physical intimacy. This now-infamous incident has sparked extensive criticism and discussions surrounding misogyny and consent. Numerous celebrities and public figures have voiced their strong disapproval in recent days.
Actors such as Ayesha Khan and Rashami Desai have openly condemned the viral comments, while even the Mumbai Police have engaged in the dialogue by posting awareness messages about consent on social media.
