Bigg Boss 19 fame Malti Chahar's BLUNT take on Rs 370 Biryani controversy at Pranit More's show goes VIRAL: 'Teach your sons better'

Deepak Chahar's sister and actress Malti Chahar has strongly reacted to the controversial "Rs 370 biryani" joke that went viral from comedian Pranit More's live show. In a thoughtful social media post, she criticised the mindset behind the comment and highlighted the importance of consent and respect towards women.

What is Rs 370 Biryani controversy?

The controversy began when a man named Himanshu Jangra, during an audience interaction at Pranit More's show, shared a story about a date. He mentioned taking a slightly older woman out for chicken biryani costing around 370. He then joked that since he had spent the money, he intended to "recover" it, implying he expected something physical in return. Pranit laughed along, and the clip quickly spread online, drawing widespread backlash.

What did Malti Chahar say?

Responding to the video, Malti wrote that such comments explain why many women today prefer financial independence and often choose to split bills on dates. She pointed out that even when women support men financially, they are still objectified and disrespected.

370 biryani and Peddi make you realize why many women are hesitant about marriage, why we value our independence, and why we choose to split the bill. Some women are even financially supporting men entirely.

Yet, we continue to be objectified, and a woman's consent is

Malti Chahar?? (@ChaharMalti) June 10, 2026

Malti emphasised that a woman's consent should never be seen as something that can be bought with money or gifts. She expressed disappointment that despite years of progress towards gender equality, women continue to face such attitudes. She urged parents to teach their sons the value of respecting women and understanding consent properly.

In her post, Malti also noted that content in media and entertainment has a strong influence on society. She advised against dismissing such remarks as "just a joke," saying they can normalise problematic behaviour.

Pranit More faces criticism

Pranit More has faced heavy criticism online since the clip went viral. While the comedian is kind of known for his crowd work style, a lot of people feel like this specific interaction crossed a line. The whole thing has already kicked off a broader discussion about modern dating, entitlement and also why we need more care with consent.

Malti Chahar's strong and clear stance has been appreciated by many, with a few netizens praising her for speaking up on the issue.

Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai Box Office collection day 6: Varun Dhawan starrer SLOWS down, earns Rs 51 crore globally

Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai box office collection day 6: Varun Dhawan, Pooja Hegde, and Mrunal Thakur starrer Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai is showing a slow but steady performance at the box office. The David Dhawan-directed romantic comedy, which marks the veteran director's final film, opened to mixed reviews but has managed to keep going with decent numbers even in its second week.

Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai box office collection day 6

According to Sacnilk, the film collected Rs 2.85 crore on Day 6 (Wednesday) from 7,495 shows. This marks a 27.3% drop from the previous day. With six days in theatres, the movie has now earned Rs 34.15 crore net and Rs 40.60 crore gross in India.

HJTIHH overseas collection

Overseas, it added Rs 0.75 crore on Day 6, taking its international total to Rs 11.25 crore. The current worldwide gross collection stands at Rs 51.85 crore.

HJTIHH vs Peddi vs Bandar

The film is currently competing with a few other releases, including Anurag Kashyap's Bandar (starring Bobby Deol), Ram Charan's Peddi, and the Hollywood film He-Man and the Masters of the Universe. The strong run of Peddi, especially, has made the box office environment quite competitive.

Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai cast

The situational comedy features a fun ensemble cast including Jimmy Shergill, Mouni Roy, Maniesh Paul, Kubbra Sait, Manoj Pahwa, Rakesh Bedi, Chunky Pandey, and Ali Asgar. It hit theatres on June 5, 2026.

While the first weekend was decent, the weekdays have seen the usual drop. However, being a light-hearted entertainer with no major new competition in the coming days, the film still has a chance to pick up if positive word-of-mouth spreads. For now, it is holding on reasonably well, especially considering the mixed audience feedback.

Peddi overseas collection

Overseas, the film added another Rs 80 lakh on Day 7, taking its international gross to Rs 48.80 crore. The worldwide collection has now climbed to Rs 271.33 crore.

With no major new releases immediately in sight, Peddi now has a relatively clear window to keep its collections steady in the coming days.

Akansha Ranjan Kapoor to marry Sharan Sharma on July 11; reception details revealed

Actress Akansha Ranjan Kapoor is all set to embark on a new chapter in her life as she prepares to tie the knot with filmmaker Sharan Sharma. Known for her performance in Netflix's Guilty and Monica O My Darling, Akansha has reportedly been in a long-term relationship with the Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl director, although the couple has largely kept their romance away from the public eye.

While Akansha had earlier confirmed their relationship, the couple has hardly followed the trend of posting content with each other on social media. However, the duo has often been spotted attending private gatherings, close-knit celebrations, and social events together over the years.

Now, reports suggest that wedding bells are finally ringing for the couple. According to a source who spoke exclusively to Hindustan Times, Akansha and Sharan are set to get married next month. “Akansha and Sharan are getting married on July 11 followed with a wedding reception on July 12. The reception will take place in JW Marriott and hosted by the boy’s side,” the source was quoted saying.

While details about the wedding festivities remain under wraps, it is being reported that the couple is keen on keeping the celebrations intimate and personal. In an era where celebrity weddings often become grand public spectacles, Akansha and Sharan appear to be taking a more private route.

Sources indicate that the couple has chosen to send out e-invites instead of traditional printed invitations. The digital-first approach aligns with their preference for a low-key ceremony attended only by close family members and a select group of friends. Despite the wedding taking place in Mumbai, the guest list is expected to remain limited.

Akansha, who has steadily carved a niche for herself in the entertainment industry, and Sharan, who earned acclaim for directing Gunjan Saxena: The Kargil Girl, Mr and Mrs Mahi among others, have maintained a relatively private personal life. As they get ready to exchange vows next month, fans and well-wishers are eagerly awaiting more details from what promises to be one of the most talked-about celebrity weddings of the season.

According to reports, both were in a relationship for over three years and Nouran, who was an editor of a magazine used to laud him a lot. She had reportedly interacted with him for the first time for an interview. Later, she would visit the sets of Sirf Tum to meet Vivian.

They finally got separated in 2021.

What is Nouran's take on interfaith wedding with Vivian?

In a conversation with Galatta India, Nouran had earlier revealed that she received hate when Vivian converted to Islam to marry her. Nouran said, "I was accused of love jihad for converting Vivian to Islam. He also faced trolling on social media, and maybe it affected his work pattern too. We have a lot of differences in terms of belief or language barrier, I had very clearly told him that in my religion, I could not do an interfaith marriage with him, it is not acceptable on my side and I respect that. Vivian was a Christian, and its core is very similar to Islam. But since women don't convert to our religion, I stayed away for six months because I was very worried and scared wondering if he would do this for me."
