Bollywood actor Ranvir Shorey took to social media to share his views amid the controversy surrounding comedian Pranit More.

The actor urged people to stop expressing outrage over comedy and argued that jokes should not be met with excessive backlash.

He further stated that online outrage over comedy has increasingly become a platform for “attention seekers and seethers.”

However, his stance soon sparked debate, with several social media users questioning his views. Responding to the criticism, Ranvir asserted, “No need to turn into a lynch mob!”

In response, one user wrote, “Humor and Passive Aggression have a thin red line. When that line is breached, SM does outrage.”

Ranvir disagreed and replied, “No, online outrage over jokes and comedy has become a platform for attention seekers and seethers! Many of them anonymous. Regular folks just trying to have a good laugh are being targeted for nothing!”

Another user referred to Pranit as an “idiot” and argued that his content should not be considered comedy.

Hitting back at the criticism, Ranvir responded, “Laugh on the jokes you like, and ignore the ones you don’t! No need to turn into a lynch mob!”
