"Delusion is Forever": Kriti Kharbanda Savages Viral 'Rs 370 Biryani' Guy in Stand-Up Controversy
MUMBAI — Bollywood actress Kriti Kharbanda, fresh off her appearance in the hit streaming series Rana Naidu Season 2, has joined the chorus of voices slamming the recent viral stand-up comedy controversy. Taking to social media, the actress delivered a sharp, satirical takedown of an audience member whose misogynistic comments during comedian Pranit More’s gig have sparked widespread outrage.
Taking to her Instagram Stories, Kharbanda shared a picture of herself accompanied by a scathing, albeit cryptic, caption: “Manifesting (Not) the confidence of someone who treats ₹370 like venture capital. Inflation is temporary. Delusion is forever.”
While the actress refrained from naming the comedian or the individual directly, netizens instantly connected the dots. The specific mention of "₹370" points directly to a highly publicized clip from Pranit More’s recent crowd-work show. In the controversial video, a male audience member brazenly suggested he was entitled to physical intimacy from a woman simply because he had purchased her a chicken biryani worth INR 370 on a date.
The shocking public display of entitlement immediately triggered a nationwide debate regarding consent and toxic masculinity. Kharbanda's witty "venture capital" jab was widely praised by fans for perfectly capturing the absurdity of the man's claims.
The Rana Naidu star joins a growing list of celebrities and authorities condemning the remarks. Actors such as Ayesha Khan and Rashami Desai previously voiced their disgust over the viral clip. The discourse reached such a fever pitch that even the Mumbai Police intervened, issuing a creative social media awareness post to remind the public that consent cannot be bought.
As the internet continues to dissect the controversy, Kharbanda’s response stands out as a masterclass in shutting down misogyny with biting sarcasm.
Our Final Thoughts
Kriti Kharbanda’s reaction perfectly encapsulates the collective exhaustion women feel toward transactional dating mentalities. By weaponizing humor and sarcasm, she highlighted the sheer absurdity of the viral remarks without giving the individual unnecessary clout. The fact that the Mumbai Police and multiple celebrities have had to publicly reiterate the basics of consent over a Rs 370 biryani shows exactly why these conversations remain critically important in 2026.
