Comedian Pranit More kicked off his 'Bigg Boss 19' journey with a sharp remark that instantly caught attention. During his introduction with host Salman Khan, the stand-up comic appeared to take a subtle swipe at fellow comedian Samay Raina, who has faced his share of controversies in recent times.Pranit’s Quip About Comedians and ControversyAs Salman teased Pranit about whether he would indulge in fights and drama inside the house, the comedian quipped, “Even if I don’t try, comedians are always in controversy. Waise bhi samay theek nahi chal raha hai.”The punchline, which played on Raina’s name, left Salman laughing. When the host further asked if Pranit had ever been to jail, he clarified, “Ab jaana hi hota hai har comedian ko, toh socha Bigg Boss chale jaun. Tum gaye ho kya? Nahi, jail kabhi nahi gaya.”Pranit’s Past Run-In With ViolenceThis isn’t the first time Pranit has made headlines. Earlier this year, the comedian was reportedly attacked by a group of men after a performance in Solapur. The attackers allegedly objected to his jokes about Bollywood debutant Veer Pahariya. The incident left Pranit injured, prompting Pahariya to issue a public apology and condemn the violence.Pahariya wrote on Instagram, “I am truly shocked and saddened by what happened to Comedian Pranit More… To Pranit and his fans—I am deeply sorry that this happened. No one deserves this.”Samay Raina’s Recent ControversiesMeanwhile, Samay Raina has also been in the spotlight this year.
