New Delhi: Stand-up comedian Pranit More has entered the Bigg Boss 19 house as the much-awaited reality show made its debut with Season 19 on August 24. Ever since he stepped inside the house, Pranit’s old videos joking about Salman Khan’s driving and housemates have resurfaced on social media and are going crazily viral.
Pranit More made headlines after he was assaulted and threatened for joking about Sky Force actor Veer Pahariya. In February, a group of 11 to 12 men approached him and started to punch and kick him. He was also warned against making jokes about Veer. According to reports, the group was allegedly led by Tanveer Shaikh.
Old videos of Pranit More have resurfaced on the internet where he playfully jokes about the actor Salman Khan. He jokes about Salman Khan’s infamous driving, his Panvel farmhouse and signature bracelet. In one of the videos, he asked a woman inb the crowd about the large ring resembling Salman’s iconic bracelet. The woman then said, “Haan, uska hi aadha leke aayi hoon (Yes, I have got half of his stone).” He then jokes, “Farmhouse par gayi thi kya (did you go to his farmhouse)?”
In another video, he asked an NGO worker about the name of her organisation and she said, “Humara Footpath”. He then joked, “Kon hai iska brand ambassador… Salman Khan (Who is the brand ambassador, Salman Khan)?”
In another clip, he said, “Salman paise nahi khata, logon ke career khata hai (Salman doesn't take money, he takes away other people's career).”
However, when Salman hinted at his jabs at Salman Khan and asked if he would continue to do so on the show, Pranit humbly said, “Nahi sir, aap par mazak udaunga, toh khud udd jaunga. (No, sir. If I crack jokes on you, then I will become a joke).”
Currently there are 16 contestants locked inside the house, including Gaurav Khanna, Ashnoor Kaur, Amaal Mallik, Kunickaa Sadanand, Tanya Mittal, Nagma Mirejkar, Nehal Chudasma, Natalia, Neelam Giri, Zeishan Quadri, Baseer Ali, Abhishek Bajaj, Mridul Tiwari, Awez Darbar, Pranit More, and Farrhana Bhatt.
