From Bigg Boss 19 to live stage: Pranit More’s playful roast of Gaurav Khanna breaks the internet; watch

Pranit More, who won audiences over with his sharp stand-up comedy during his stint on Bigg Boss 19, seems to have carried his signature humour beyond the reality show. 

Known for hilariously roasting fellow contestants inside the house, the comedian recently recreated that magic at a live stand-up show—this time with several Bigg Boss 19 faces watching from the audience.

Bigg Boss 19 contestants attend live show

The stand-up event saw the presence of popular Bigg Boss 19 contestants, including Nehal Chudasama, Awez Darbar, Nagma Mirajkar and Natalia. However, it was Pranit’s interaction with Bigg Boss 19 winner Gaurav Khanna that truly stole the spotlight and quickly went viral on social media.

Viral ‘Five Star’ meme moment

A clip from the show, now widely circulated on X (formerly Twitter), shows Pranit calling Gaurav Khanna on stage and asking him to watch a screen along with him. The screen displayed a viral meme of Gaurav holding a Five Star chocolate instead of the Bigg Boss 19 trophy, captioned, “If eat 5 Star and do nothing had a face.”

The moment the meme appeared, the auditorium erupted in laughter, with Gaurav himself laughing along. Reacting sportingly, the actor said, “Acha hai, acha hai. Yeh bhi mujhe chahiye, yeh bhi le jaunga,” further adding to the comic timing.

The elaichi joke that sealed the laugh

Pranit didn’t stop there. Continuing the roast, he sarcastically remarked that despite jokes about doing nothing, Gaurav did contribute to the show. Mid-sentence, Pranit reached into his pocket, pulled out an elaichi (cardamom), and held it up—prompting instant laughter from the audience.

For viewers of Bigg Boss 19, the joke landed perfectly. Gaurav was frequently seen chewing elaichi on the show, turning it into an inside joke among fans. Pranit even handed the cardamom to Gaurav, who took it in good spirit.

Social media reactions pour in

The viral clip has amassed over 1.5K likes, with users commenting, “No way they showed the ‘eat 5 Star and do nothing’ meme,” and “Yeh meme itna viral ho gaya.” While many appreciated Gaurav’s sportsmanship, others found the roast “too real” and “embarrassing,” sparking mixed reactions online.

Roasting the winner—again

In another collaborative video shared online, Pranit jokingly congratulated Gaurav on his win, claiming it felt like a personal achievement since Gaurav had been his “barber” in the house. “Main kitna bada aadmi hogaya hoon… maine Bigg Boss ke winner ko baal kaatne ke liye rakha tha,” Pranit quipped, once again proving that Bigg Boss humour never really leaves the stage.
