Former Bigg Boss 19 contestant Tanya Mittal has shared her perspective on the ongoing controversy involving comedian Pranit More, whose recent stand-up performance sparked widespread debate on social media.
The issue began after a clip from his show went viral, triggering intense online criticism and leading to discussions about accountability, public behaviour, and the boundaries of comedy.
“I Don’t Like Him, But…” Says Tanya Mittal
Speaking on The Super Womaniya Show on YouTube, Tanya Mittal openly stated that she has had personal differences with Pranit More and did not enjoy his behaviour during their time on the reality show.
She mentioned that she was uncomfortable with certain interactions and clarified that she is not defending his actions.
However, she also expressed concern over the intensity of the backlash he is currently facing.
According to Tanya, while criticism for mistakes is justified, the situation appears to have escalated into excessive trolling.
Concern Over Online Harassment
Tanya Mittal emphasized that public accountability should not turn into sustained harassment. She noted that individuals are capable of making mistakes, but should also be allowed to acknowledge them, learn, and move forward.
She further highlighted that online backlash often extends beyond the individual, affecting families and personal lives as well.
Tanya said that while she does not support the incident in question, she sympathizes with the level of public pressure being directed at Pranit More.
“Mistakes Happen, But Trolls Should Stop at a Limit”
The reality TV personality stressed that social media users need to understand boundaries when reacting to controversies.
She pointed out that public figures are frequently judged harshly, and even a single incident can lead to widespread criticism and long-term online targeting.
Tanya also reflected on her own experience in the public eye, stating that anyone can end up in a similar situation and face intense scrutiny.
She urged people to differentiate between constructive criticism and abusive behaviour online.
Background of the Controversy
The controversy surrounding Pranit More originated from a viral clip from one of his stand-up performances. In the video, an audience member made a controversial remark involving spending money on food and expecting inappropriate repayment, which led to online backlash.
The clip quickly circulated across social media platforms, triggering debates and criticism regarding the tone and content of the interaction.
Call for Responsible Social Media Behaviour
Tanya Mittal concluded her remarks by appealing for empathy and restraint in online discussions. She emphasized that while accountability is important, prolonged trolling can become harmful and counterproductive.
Her comments add to the ongoing debate around comedy, public responsibility, and the impact of viral content in the digital age.
