Kusha Kapila Weighs In on Viral Comedy Controversy, Says Creators Must Take Responsibility

Kusha Kapila, the content creator and influencer turned actress, has commented on the ‘biryani of 370’ issue surrounding the stand-up comedian Pranit More and his show. She commented freely on the viral video from his show as well as about the whole matter. She also sent a message exclusively for the women.

Kusha Kapila posted a few videos in the story section of her Instagram page. In which she says, "You (the content creator) got that video edited and published; you are also responsible for that." Kusha believes that uploading such material is a deliberate decision.

She further says, "I appeal to women to speak out openly against bad comedy. Please don't be afraid. If someone has done something stupid, criticize them strongly. Uploading such clips is a deliberate decision. Making certain jokes and showing them on your channel is also your decision. However, this is not comedy. This is content created to get a reaction."

Regarding this entire controversy and the matter, stand-up comedian Praneet More issued a statement admitting that his response during the show was wrong. Soon after the video received widespread criticism, the comedian took to Instagram to address his stand. Praneet said on Instagram, "I have seen the criticism regarding the recent crowdwork clip. The comments made by the viewer do not reflect my views. Looking back, I feel like I should have challenged that statement instead of laughing it off and moving on. It was a mistake on my part.

A clip from stand-up comedian Praneet More's show is going viral on social media, in which a member of the audience is making offensive remarks about women. Instead of interrupting him, Praneet More simply laughed. This angered women and girls active on social media. Comedian Praneet was heavily trolled for this reason.
