The entertainment industry, much like social media, continues to grapple with incidents that spark widespread outrage and vital conversations.

Shardul Pandit's Recent Video on the 'INR 370 Biryani' Controversy
The 'INR 370 Biryani' controversy ignited in early June 2026 after a video clip from comedian Pranit More's stand-up show circulated widely. In the clip, 23-year-old Himanshu Jangra from Gurugram recounted spending INR 370 on chicken biryani for a date and disturbingly suggested he felt entitled to physical intimacy in return. His account further detailed pressuring the woman for a kiss and making unwanted physical advances despite her visible reluctance and hesitation.
The remarks drew immediate and widespread condemnation across social media, sparking a crucial debate on consent, misogyny, and transactional relationships. Jangra was subsequently terminated from his employment at Starvik Design following the massive backlash. Comedian Pranit More also faced criticism for his reaction, laughing at the comments and referring to them as 'Peak Gurgaon content', before editing and uploading the contentious clip.
Responding to this disturbing incident, actor and former Bigg Boss 14 contestant Shardul Pandit reportedly shared a video on his social media platforms, unequivocally condemning the mindset that equates financial expenditure with entitlement over another person's body or consent. He shared clips of women with strong mindsets whom he had the opportunity to talk with on his podcast
Shardul Pandit Addresses the Hate Comment
In a shocking turn of events, Shardul Pandit's condemnation of the 'INR 370 Biryani' comment was met with a deeply offensive and personal attack. He received a vile hate comment specifically targeting his late mother, saying "Bhai tu Ch*tiya hai, accha hai teri mummy bra panty mein aati hai." This malicious comment surfaced in response to his video addressing the biryani controversy, adding a cruel dimension to the online toxicity.
Responding firmly to the abuse, Shardul stated that if the troll believed targeting his mother’s undergarments would make him sad, that was not the case; rather, it is the painful fact that his mother is no longer alive that deeply hurts him. He pointed out how weak men in our country are that they cannot win an argument without dragging someone's mother and sister into it. He further emphasised that in this instance, it was not even an active argument, but a completely unprovoked hate comment left under his recent podcast video.
