Stand-Up Comedian Pranit More in Running for Bigg Boss 19 Title

Mumbai, India – As Bigg Boss 19 reaches its finale, stand-up comedian Pranit More is among the five finalists vying for the coveted title. The winner will be announced later tonight.

Born on July 7, 1991, in Mumbai, Maharashtra, Pranit More comes from humble beginnings. His father was a bus conductor for Maharashtra State Transport. Despite initially aspiring to be a pilot, Pranit pursued a Bachelor’s in Management Studies from K.J. Somaiya College and an MBA in Marketing from Welingkar Institute. Before his comedy career took off, he worked as a sales assistant in the automobile industry, both before and during his MBA studies.

More transitioned to comedy after finding his job unfulfilling. He began performing in smaller venues before gaining recognition by winning the Open Mic Maverick title at the Canvas Laugh Club. In 2019, he officially started his career as a comedian and content creator. From 2019 to 2023, he also worked as a Radio Jockey for Mirchi FM. He even hosted the Filmfare Awards Marathi, steadily gaining popularity.

Pranit More is known for his jokes about Bollywood celebrities and cricketers, including Salman Khan, some of whom confronted him about these jokes inside Bigg Boss house.

However, his humor hasn’t always been well-received. Earlier this year, following the release of the film ‘Sky Force,’ More faced backlash and was allegedly assaulted after a show for making jokes about actor Veer Pahariya.

Despite the controversies, More has amassed a large following, with 1.8 million followers on Instagram. He is considered a strong contender to win Bigg Boss 19, receiving support from fellow comedians and celebrities such as Ravi Gupta, Ashish Chanchlani, Jamie Lever, Shilpa Shirodkar, Vishal Nikam and Janhvi Killekar.

Whether he will walk away with the Bigg Boss 19 trophy remains to be seen, but Pranit More’s journey from a bus conductor’s son to a prominent comedian and reality TV star has already captured the public’s attention.
