Pranit More and Sejal Pawar apologised.
Himanshu, the ₹370 biryani guy, seems more regretful about going on the show than about the comments themselves.
That said, it is probably time for the country to move on. Now politicians & various groups seem more interested in extracting footage from the controversy.
Khud ko aur aap sab ko ek birthday gift diya hai aaj. If you like it and say thanks, I’d say Welcome(3) 😬

When I say I am against reservation, that doesn't mean I am against the concept of reservation itself. Rather, I believe the way it has been implemented in our country is problematic.
Take this example, this Sejal girl got an MBBS seat with 406 marks through the ST category. Just to put that into perspective, some students don't get an MBBS seat even after scoring 600+ marks. I myself had to take a drop year after scoring 600.
Now look at the lifestyle she follows. I find it hard to believe that she lacked resources or opportunities during her school years.
On the other hand, the people for whom this reservation was originally intended, the genuinely underprivileged tribal communities, often don't even know what NEET-UG is, let alone have the awareness, or resources needed to pursue an MBBS degree. The person who should ideally benefit from this reservation is often nowhere in the picture, while privileged individuals continue to take advantage of a system that was created to uplift the underprivileged.
I don't understand how this system, in its current form, is supposed to reduce social inequality. While there are certainly cases where genuinely deserving individuals benefit from reservation, but in majority instances the reality appears very different.
