Malti Chahar Breaks Silence On ₹370 Biryani Remark Made On Bigg Boss 19 Co-Contestant Pranit More's Show

The viral "₹370 biryani" clip from Bigg Boss 19 co-contestant Pranit More's live show has drawn strong criticism from Malti Chahar, sister of cricketer Deepak Chahar. Malti condemned the joke, arguing that such humour normalises disrespect towards women and shows a poor understanding of consent.

Malti reacted after a segment from Pranit More's crowd-work performance spread widely on social media. The video featured an audience member describing a date, and the casual way money spent on a meal was linked to expectations placed on a woman, which sparked anger online.

During the show, a man named Himanshu told Pranit More that he had gone out with a slightly older woman. Himanshu said they ordered one plate of chicken biryani costing ₹370. He then joked that he needed to "recover" the money, hinting at expecting something in return.

Pranit More laughed at the remark and kept the conversation going, while the crowd reacted. Once the short clip appeared on various platforms, viewers accused both Himanshu and Pranit of objectifying women. The "₹370 biryani" reference soon became a shorthand for the incident and its sexist tone.

₹370 biryani controversy, consent and respect for women

Responding through a detailed social media post, Malti said such jokes show why many women want financial independence and prefer to split bills on dates. Malti pointed out that some women even support men financially, yet still face objectification and unreasonable expectations linked to money spent.

Malti stressed that a woman's consent cannot be bought with gifts or meals and should never be treated like a transaction. Malti said years of work for equality feel undermined when such attitudes are brushed off as humour. Malti urged parents to teach sons respect and warned that comedy and entertainment content can influence behaviour across society.
