Pranit More’s Biryani Blunder: From Public Backlash to a Plea for Redemption

When Pranit More let slip that he could apparently devour 370 plates of biryani in one sitting, the internet erupted. Memes flooded timelines, trolls piled on, and the once‑charming reality‑show contestant found himself at the centre of what quickly became known as the ‘370‑biryani row.’

It wasn’t just the sheer absurdity of the numbers that rattled people; it was the perception that he was flaunting excess at a time when many were tightening their belts. The backlash was swift, relentless, and, as Pranit himself now admits, painfully deserved.

In a candid interview aired on Thursday, the actor‑turned‑TV‑personality stared straight into the camera, eyebrows furrowed, and said, “I know I’ve earned a lot of hate. Saying I could eat that many biryanis was tone‑deaf, and I own that mistake.” He went on to apologise to his fans, his family, and even the restaurant owners who later received a deluge of angry messages.

What makes this episode even more tangled is the involvement of his co‑star, Himanshu Jangra. Himanshu, who shares the screen with Pranit on the popular reality series, tried to defuse the tension, commenting, “We all say crazy things when cameras are rolling. Let’s give him space to learn and grow.” His measured response was met with mixed reactions – some praised the supportive gesture, while others accused him of covering for a friend.

Pranit’s appeal for a “second chance” is not just a plea for personal redemption; it’s also a subtle nod to the broader conversation about public figures and accountability. He confessed, “I’m not asking for forgiveness right away. I just hope people can see I’m trying to make things right, one step at a time.”

Fans have begun a quiet counter‑campaign, flooding his social media with encouraging messages and reminding him of past good deeds. A handful of them even suggested turning the controversy into a charitable cause – perhaps a fundraiser to feed the under‑privileged, turning the infamous biryani number into something positive.

Whether Pranit More’s story will end in redemption or continue to fester remains to be seen. One thing is clear, though: the episode has reminded the entertainment world how quickly a single off‑hand comment can spiral into a nationwide debate, and how fragile the line between fame and infamy truly is.
