New Delhi: Stand-up comedian Pranit More has publicly addressed the controversy surrounding the viral videos featuring obscene remarks. In an emotional video shared on Instagram on Saturday, he issued an apology and appealed to the public for a second chance. Addressing his followers through a self-made video clip, More acknowledged the criticism directed at him and admitted that he made a mistake during the interaction that sparked the backlash. “Hello, so I wanted to talk about this for a long time but my Instagram got suspended. You all must have seen my crowd work video for which I am getting a lot of hate and I think I deserve this hate because when I was doing crowd work with that guy he said a lot of derogatory things, but everyone was laughing at him so I got carried away,” he said. “I got a lapse in judgement and I think it was a big mistake of mine,” More said. The comedian further said that he could have intervened during the interaction, but failed to do so. “If I wanted, I could have stopped him there, or I could have taken a stand, but what I couldn’t do. I gave him a platform because of which these things escalated. So those who have been hurt because of this, I want to apologise to all of them,” he added.
More also confirmed that he is cooperating with authorities in connection with the ongoing legal proceedings. “Whatever legal proceedings are being held against me, for that I am cooperating with the authorities, but I just want to request all of you… Please give me a chance, I will become a better person. This was a learning for me, so I am working on myself. I will also work on my content, and you will be able to see this in my future work,” he said.
