Additionally, fellow performer Pranit More apologized for not intervening during Jangra's "derogatory remarks," admitting he got carried away by the audience's laughter.

Following widespread social media backlash, Himanshu Jangra—who faces an FIR alongside Pranit More—apologised again for his 'Rs 370 biryani' remarks on the show.

Jangra said that he regretted attending the show and claimed that parts of the dating story he narrated were 'improvised' for entertainment purposes. He was fired from his job after he drew ire from social media over his "inappropriate" comments. 

"The story I told there- the girl I was talking about...Yes, I did date a girl. But sir, what I said here was not completely true. I improvised that story," he said in a video post. 

Though he apologised for his remarks, Jangra said that he had attended the show after watching previous episodes where he had noticed audiences sharing similar anecdotes. 

"I admit that I used some inappropriate words. I apologise for that. What I said was only meant to be presented entertainingly. I didn't have any such intention," he added. 

Speaking about the backlash, he said that it has reached his hometown and affected his family as well. "My situation right now is very bad. For the past two weeks, I have been heavily trolled. For about a week, no one at home knew about it. Nobody in my hometown knew about it either," he said in the joint video post, shared on his and the company's Instagram account. 

He added that his family became worried after he was fired from the job following the latest events. "Now, whenever I look at my family, I feel a lot of regret and keep wondering why I ever went on that show," he further said. 

Jangra added that his public statement was not intended to seek sympathy but to take responsibility for his actions and learn from the experience. 

Meanwhile, the caption accompanying the video, the company stated, "We believe that every situation deserves context, conversation and clarity. As requested by many members of our community, we invited Himanshu Jangra to share his perspective and address the questions surrounding the ongoing discussion." 

Pranit More also issued an apology, admitting that he should have intervened during such remarks. 

"I think I deserve this hate because when I was doing crowd work with that guy, he said a lot of derogatory things, but everyone was laughing at him, so I got carried away," More said on Saturday.
