What is the Rs 370 biryani controversy?
The Rs 370 biryani controversy started during a Gurugram stand-up comedy show by Pranit More, when an audience member, Himanshu Jangra, made comments that many viewers felt were offensive and misogynistic. In viral clips from the show, Himanshu Jangra can be seen saying that he went on a date with a woman where he spent Rs 370 on a plate of chicken biryani.

Many people in the clip, along with the comedian, were seen laughing at the remark. However, both More and Jangra later apologised after facing backlash on social media.
