Kunickaa Sadanand comes to Pranit More's defenceSalman Khan's co-star from 'Pyaar Kiya To Darna Kya', Kunickaa Sadanand, who appeared alongside Pranit on 'Bigg Boss 19', stepped into the comments section of his apology video to offer her support. She wrote, "Everyone makes mistakes, but not everyone has the courage to own it. @rj_pranit you are a good boy, with right values, but as I always said roasting or crowd work can carry you away, especially as an entertainer, when you see ppl reacting and laughing.

I hope ppl forgive you, and I also hope ppl change their attitude towards women/girls."She further added, "You were not the cause of a generational mindset, you were one of the many who inherited this mindset from generations of objectification. God bless you, I'm sure you will be back with brilliant content.
