Addressing the original incident, Jangra claimed that the story he shared during the show had been partly improvised. It was stated by him that while he had dated the woman he referred to, several details were exaggerated after hearing similar audience stories during the event.

According to Jangra, he accepted that the language he used was inappropriate and apologised for his remarks. He maintained that the comments did not reflect his actual mindset or intentions.

The controversy began after a clip from Pranit More's stand-up show went viral online. The backlash intensified when a longer version surfaced, prompting criticism of both Jangra's remarks and More's response during the interaction. More later issued his own apology, describing the incident as a lapse in judgement and acknowledging that he should have intervened sooner.
