A new firestorm has engulfed comedian Pranit More's live crowdwork show, with Mumbai-based doctor Sejal Pawar at its epicentre. Pawar is facing intense criticism after a clip of her remarks about male cadavers went viral on social media platforms around June 10, 2026.

Dr Sejal Pawar Issues Apology Over Controversial Remarks
The viral clip, which began circulating extensively around June 10, 2026, captured Dr Sejal Pawar, reportedly linked to Mumbai's KEM Hospital, sharing a startling anecdote during an audience interaction segment of Pranit More's stand-up performance. She recounted how she and her female colleagues would sometimes make light of and compare the sizes of male cadavers' private parts in a medical setting. These comments, made in a public entertainment forum, quickly drew condemnation for their perceived insensitivity and disregard for medical ethics.
As public outrage mounted, Pawar released a video message and a written statement to address the situation directly, explicitly refusing to defend her statements.
"I just wanted to come here and say I am very sorry. I said a very wrong thing. I am so sorry about that," Pawar said in her video message. "Maine aisa kabhi intentionally nahi socha thaa ki main woh cheez bolungi (I never intentionally thought that I would say something like that)."

The topic is a sensitive one, and my comments came across in a way they shouldn't have," she wrote. "I'm not here to justify what was said or explain it away. I take responsibility for it."

Dr Sejal Pawar's controversy unfolded just as the internet was still reeling from another contentious moment from Pranit More's show – the 'INR 370 Biryani' row.

The proximity of these two incidents from the same platform has intensified the scrutiny on the content and conduct promoted on such shows, sparking a broader conversation about ethics, accountability, and professional responsibility.
