Samay Raina shuts down sexist remark
During the episode, when Raina asked the audience, "What does a girl like the most in a guy?" one person immediately replied, "Paisa (money)." Alia, unimpressed by the answer, asked, "Who said this?"
Raina interrupted, "Gareeb aadmi ne kaha hoga" (Some poor man must have said that), leaving both the panellists and the audience in stitches.
The clip was widely shared on Reddit, Instagram and X, with users praising the comedian for challenging the stereotype.
"Pranit hota toh hass deta bas," one Reddit user wrote. Another user added, "Meanwhile, Pranit – PEAK GURGAON CONTENT." A third user commented, "Pranit More should learn from Samay Raina."

About the Rs 370 biryani controversy
Recently, during Pranit More's show in Gurugram, an audience member, identified as Himanshu Jangra, recounted spending Rs 370 on a biryani date and implied he expected to get intimate with the girl. More laughed at the exchange. He then posted the video online with the caption "Peak Gurgaon Content". This followed severe backlash on social media.
Maharashtra Cyber Police registered cases against both More and the audience member. The National Commission for Women (NCW) also stepped into the controversy by taking suo motu cognisance of the viral video, directing the Haryana Police to take stringent action against those involved.
