A 22-year-old web developer from Gurugram/Haryana, identified as Himanshu Jangra, faces job loss and further public scrutiny after remarks made during a stand-up show by comedian Pranit More drew widespread online backlash. Multiple reports say a viral video of the incident led to anger and debate over the nature and intent of the comments, with critics alleging misogynistic or offensive messaging.
According to the outlets, Jangra later told an ex-manager that the remarks were improvised and meant for “entertainment,” and that he did not intend to express his personal beliefs or any misogynistic views. He is reported to have expressed regret in connection with the backlash.
Meanwhile, his employer announced that he was terminated after the controversy. The company’s communication, as described in the reports, links the decision to workplace impact and company values. The termination follows days of viral circulation of the clip and sustained public discussion about accountability and whether such incidents warrant consequences beyond the initial controversy.
