A woman doctor identified as Sejal Pawar has come under intense online criticism after remarks she made during an appearance on comedian Pranit More’s show went viral, sparking a wider debate on ethics and sensitivity in public conversations involving medical training.
The incident follows earlier controversy from the same show involving Gurugram resident Himanshu Jangra, whose remarks led to strong backlash and professional consequences.
Remarks on Cadavers Trigger Public Outrage
During her interaction on the show, Pawar reportedly spoke about her experience working with cadavers at a Mumbai hospital, allegedly stating that medical professionals sometimes make casual comparisons while handling male bodies during post-mortem procedures.
The comments were made in response to a question about whether doctors remain strictly serious or engage in informal conversations during autopsies.
The clip quickly circulated on social media, drawing widespread criticism from viewers, medical professionals, and students.
Ethical Concerns Raised by Medical Community
Many users expressed concern that the remarks were insensitive toward body donors, whose contributions are considered essential for medical education and research.
Several medical students and professionals highlighted that cadaveric donation is a deeply respectful and voluntary act that plays a critical role in training future doctors.
Critics argued that humour or casual discussion involving deceased bodies risks undermining public trust in the ethical handling of donated remains.
Social Media Reaction and Debate
The viral nature of the clip triggered a strong response online, with many users calling the comments inappropriate for a public platform.
Some users also emphasized that while informal conversations may occur in professional environments, they should not be discussed publicly in a manner that appears disrespectful.
The discussion quickly evolved into a broader debate on boundaries between personal anecdotes, professional ethics, and entertainment content.
Apology and Account Deactivation Reported
Reports suggest that Sejal Pawar later issued an apology on Instagram addressing the backlash. However, her account is currently not accessible, and the statement has not been independently verified.
Pranit More Show Also Under Scrutiny
Comedian Pranit More, whose show featured both the recent controversial clips, has also faced criticism online. Following the growing backlash, his Instagram account has reportedly been deactivated.
The incident has reignited discussions about the responsibility of digital content platforms in moderating sensitive conversations and ensuring ethical boundaries in entertainment formats.
