Woman doctor under fire for comment on male corpses' private parts at Pranit More show
It began as a debate over misogyny and consent at Pranit More's stand-up show, but it has now expanded into a broader conversation about ethics
It began as a debate over misogyny and consent at Pranit More's stand-up show, but it has now expanded into a broader conversation about ethics and accountability. A female doctor's remarks about male corpses’ private parts have become the latest flashpoint in the controversy. The woman at the centre of the latest backlash has been identified as Sejal Pawar, who, according to her Instagram bio before she made her account private, is posted at Mumbai's KEM Hospital. Read Full Story During an interaction at More's show, Pawar spoke about anatomy-related experiences involving cadavers and claimed that she and her colleagues would compare the sizes of male cadavers' private parts. The comment was made during a conversation with More as he asked if doctors stay serious or crack jokes while doing autopsy on a corpse.

While stand-up shows often encourage candid audience interactions, critics argued that joking about the bodies of deceased individuals crossed a line, particularly given the role cadavers play in medical education. Many medical professionals and students were among those expressing concern. One social media user wrote, "As a medical student, mocking a cadaver is one of the worst things you can do." Others pointed out that body donation is an extraordinary act of trust made by families and individuals to advance medical science, and that such comments risk undermining that trust.
As outrage mounted, another debate began to emerge online. Several users questioned whether Pawar would face consequences similar to those faced by Himanshu Jangra, whose remarks about expecting a "return" after paying for a meal on a date triggered a national conversation about misogyny, consent and entitlement. Some argued that if offensive behaviour is being scrutinised, standards should remain consistent regardless of whether the person involved is a man or a woman. Pawar has issued an apology on her Instagram profile just a few minutes ago, saying, “I’m not here to justify what was said or explain it away. I take responsibility for it. Looking back, I can see how my words could be interpreted differently from what I meant!” Check the video here Meanwhile, Pranit More himself remains caught in the centre of the storm.
