During a live crowdwork set, a 23-year-old Gurugram-based web developer named Himanshu Jangra shared how he spent Rs 370 on chicken biryani for a woman — and then pressured her into going to a park at night. Instead of challenging the deeply problematic narrative, Pranit laughed along. The clip went viral within hours.

## Why Did Pranit Delete His Instagram?

The backlash was swift and intense. Influencers, netizens, and public figures called out Pranit for normalising [toxic masculinity](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toxic_masculinity) — a pattern of harmful behaviour where dominance and entitlement are presented as acceptable. Jangra, the audience member, was also reportedly removed from his workplace following the uproar.

Pranit issued a public apology, accepting he should have confronted the remark instead of engaging with it. But the trolling didn’t stop. Eventually, his **main Instagram account was deactivated**, though his secondary handle **@maharashtrianbhau** remains active.
