He later apologised and deleted his social media accounts. Meanwhile, Pranit also apologised and said ‘comments made by the audience member do not reflect my views’.What Malti Chahar saidActor Malti Chahar, who was linked with Pranit More during her stay in the Bigg Boss 19 house, had shared her opinions about the issue in a tweet on her X account on June 10. The post was met with lots of reactions, with many also asking her to comment on another controversy on the same show, that of a female doctor named Sejal Pawar, who made obscene comments on the private parts of male corpses.On June 11, Malti made a separate post on X to clarify her statements once and for all. She wrote, "I’m fortunate to have many good men around me, and none of them say such things about women or support this kind of nonsense in the name of comedy.Being good or bad is not gender-specific. There are women who do wrong things too, and if you want to call that out, nobody is stopping you. But just because I choose to speak up about one issue doesn’t mean I’m obligated to comment on every issue or share my opinion on everything." She concluded, “And to clarify, my last tweet wasn’t directed at any one specific person. It was aimed at the larger group of people who write or speak such nonsense and see nothing wrong with it. Just like the people who wrote nonsense in comment section of my last tweet!”In a previous tweet, Malti had responded to an X user about the comments made by the female doctor and wrote, "I didn’t like that either. I only recently came across it, and honestly, I didn’t find it funny at all. I genuinely don’t understand what people found so hilarious that had them laughing so hard. Anyway, this kind of stand-up has never really been my cup of tea. And just because I speak out against one thing doesn’t automatically mean I support something else. Those are two completely separate conversations."About the controversiesDuring the show, Sejal said that she and her other female colleague often compare the sizes of the private parts of the male corpses in the hospital. She later apologised for her comments.Meanwhile, Pranit More deactivated his Instagram account amid massive backlash for the ₹370 biryani remark made on his show. Himanshu said that he went on a date with a woman where he paid ₹370 for a plate of chicken biryani, and therefore deserved a “return” on his investment. He recalled that after eating the biryani, the woman requested to be dropped home. “Maine kaha 370 rupay lage hain, main wasool toh karunga (I spent ₹370, so I have to get something back),” Jangra told Pranit More while sitting in the audience.
