A fresh twist has emerged in the viral “Rs 370 biryani” controversy after an online conversation between the man at the center of the backlash and his former employer began circulating widely on social media. The issue first gained attention after a clip from comedian Pranit More’s live crowd-work session went viral. During the interaction, Himanshu Jangra allegedly made a controversial remark suggesting he expected physical intimacy in return for spending Rs 370 on a biryani date. The statement quickly triggered outrage online, with many users calling it misogynistic and offensive.

As criticism intensified, a new video shared by Jangra’s former boss, Vivek Vishwakarma, added another layer to the controversy. In the viral chat, Jangra appeared emotional while speaking about the fallout from the incident. He reportedly said the video had reached his relatives and neighbors, creating embarrassment for his family and affecting his personal life.

According to reports, Jangra also mentioned losing his job and facing legal trouble after the clip spread online. The conversation soon went viral itself, sparking heated debate across social media platforms. While some users expressed sympathy over the scale of the backlash, a large section of the internet defended the action taken against him. Many argued that the issue was not just about a joke made during a comedy show but about the mindset reflected in the statement.

The phrase “FIR justified” started trending in discussions, with several users saying accountability was necessary. Others, however, questioned whether the reaction had gone too far and accused social media users of encouraging cancel culture. The controversy has also reignited debate around crowd-work comedy and viral internet culture in India. Critics say audience interactions at live comedy shows often push people to make provocative remarks for attention, without considering the long-term consequences once clips reach social media.

The incident has continued to generate strong reactions online, with discussions focusing on humor, consent, public accountability, and the impact of viral content in the digital age. Neither the comedian nor the individuals involved have issued a detailed public statement addressing the latest debate at the time of writing.
