‘Bakwas Ki Hai Toh Drag Karo’: Kusha Kapila Slams Pranit More & Himanshu Jangra On Viral ‘370 ki Biryani’ Joke

The controversy surrounding the viral “370 ki biryani” remark continues to snowball, with several public figures and social media users weighing in on the debate. What began as a stand up comedy clip has now evolved into a larger conversation about misogyny, consent, and the kind of humour that is being promoted on digital platforms. The incident has triggered widespread criticism online, with many arguing that certain jokes targeting women are increasingly being disguised as comedy.

Joining the chorus of criticism, actor and content creator Kusha Kapila has now publicly called out both Gurugram resident Himanshu Jangra and stand up comedian Pranit More over the now infamous clip. Taking to her Instagram Stories, Kusha expressed support for women who have been speaking against the joke and questioned the intent behind such content.

Sharing her thoughts on the matter, Kusha wrote, “urge womem to call out disgusting comedy plenty. please darna mat. Bakwaas kee hai toh drag karo badhiya se. Uploading a clip like that is a choice. Choosing to crack “certain” jokes on women and hosting that on your channel IS A CHOICE. all of it IS A CHOICE. This, btw, is not comedy! It’s content designed to get a reaction. I am so glad so many women are calling it out. Bahut acha lag raha hai. Bahut mazza aaraha hai. Aaj main apne paison se order karke biryani khaungi.”

Her remarks quickly gained traction on social media, with many users applauding her for taking a firm stand. Others pointed out that the debate is no longer limited to a single joke but has become a reflection of how sexist remarks are often normalized under the label of humour. Several creators, influencers and internet users have also questioned whether viral engagement is being prioritised over responsible content creation.

The controversy erupted after a clip from comedian Pranit More’s show went viral online. During an audience interaction segment, Himanshu Jangra recounted a date where he claimed to have spent around Rs 370 on biryani. He then joked that after paying for the meal and being asked to drop the woman home, he felt the need to “recover” the money spent. The punchline was widely interpreted as implying sexual entitlement in exchange for paying for food. The audience laughed and Pranit More was also seen reacting positively to the remark, leading many viewers to accuse both the participant and the comedian of encouraging misogynistic humour.

The backlash intensified over the following days, with social media flooded by criticism from women and advocacy groups. The incident eventually spilled beyond the internet when reports emerged that Jangra’s employer had ended his association with the company following the controversy. Jangra later issued an apology, but the debate has continued to dominate online conversations. Critics argue that the issue is not merely about one viral joke but about a broader culture where comments that trivialise consent and objectify women are often packaged as entertainment

Pranit More had earlier found himself at the centre of a controversy in 2025 when he was allegedly attacked by a group of men after a comedy show in Solapur. The incident was reportedly linked to jokes made during his act about actor Veer Pahariya, triggering discussions around artistic freedom and the risks faced by stand up comedians.
