Jaaved Jaaferi speaks up on Pranit More row

Jaaved Jaaferi backed comedian Pranit More amid backlash over a crowd-work joke about a Rs 370 biryani date.

Jaaferi called comedians 'soft targets' and said society has grown intolerant of comedy.

He urged parents to monitor children's content instead of demanding bans.

Jaaferi noted that in the 1990s and 2000s, similar jokes were not deemed offensive.

He recently reprised his role as Manav in 'Dhamaal 4'.
