The premiere of Bigg Boss 19 took an unexpected turn when host Salman Khan came face-to-face with contestant Pranit More, a stand-up comedian whose old jokes mocking the Bollywood star have recently resurfaced online.
Before entering the Bigg Boss house, Pranit More was known for his fearless jokes about Salman Khan's controversies and quirks. These jokes covered a range of topics, from his infamous driving incidents to references about his Panvel farmhouse and signature bracelet. In one viral clip, Pranit noticed a woman wearing a large ring and quipped that it resembled Salman's bracelet, with the woman jokingly replying she only had half of it from his farmhouse, sending the audience into laughter. Other jokes included references to Salman Khan being the brand ambassador for "Humara Footpath" and punchlines like "Salman doesn't take money, he takes away other people's careers". He also mimicked Rohit Shetty discussing stunt driving, with Salman allegedly interjecting to ask where he needed to sign.
During the Bigg Boss 19 premiere, Salman Khan addressed Pranit's past jokes in Marathi, playfully teasing him and asking if he would continue making jokes at his expense. Pranit responded humbly, stating that he would become a joke himself if he cracked jokes about Salman. This response sparked mixed reactions online, with some viewers praising his respect and others accusing him of toning down his boldness too quickly.
The interaction between Salman Khan and Pranit More has become a major talking point, raising questions about how their dynamic will unfold inside the Bigg Boss house. While some anticipate a confrontational and entertaining dynamic, others wonder if Pranit will maintain his comedic edge or if he will be more cautious in his interactions with Salman.
Pranit More is a comedian, radio jockey, and content creator. He previously worked as an RJ for Mirchi FM and has hosted live events, including the Filmfare Awards Marathi. He has also faced backlash for jokes made about actor Veer Pahariya in the past. His participation in Bigg Boss 19 has already generated significant buzz due to his history of joking about the show's host.
