Pranit More returns to social media, says he deserves the hate
On Saturday, More, who has suspended her Instagram account, returned to social media with a video where she openly admitted that she deserves the criticism coming her way. He said, “Aap sabne mera crowd work ka video dekha hoga, jiske liye mujhe kaafi hate mil rahi hai, aur mujhe lagta hai main yeh hate deserve bhi karta hoon. Kyunki us ladke se jab main crowd work kar raha tha, usne kaafi derogatory cheezein boli, but sab us log par hass rahe the. Main bhi carry ho gaya aur mujhse lapse in judgment ho gaya. Yeh meri kaafi badi galti thi. Main chahta toh usse wahan par rok sakta tha ya stand le sakta tha, jo main nahi kar paaya. Maine usse ek platform diya, jiski wajah se yeh cheezein itni escalate ho gayi.” “Jinko bhi iss wajah se hurt hua hai, un sabse main maafi maangna chahta hoon. Jo bhi legal proceedings against mere ho rahi hain, uske liye main authority ke saath co-operate bhi kar raha hoon. Main yehi request karna chahta hoon ki please mujhe ek chance do, main better dikhaun b insahi bank ekine to main learning . khud par aur mere content ke upar bhi kaam karunga Yeh cheez mere future ke kaam mein bhi dekh paoge,” he added.
