Stand-up comedian, Kunal Kamra found himself in the middle of a political controversy due to a recent comment. During one of his performances, he cracked a joke about the Shiv Sena leader and Maharashtra deputy chief minister, Eknath Shinde. However, this was not taken as lighthearted humour by the members of the party, and one of the leaders threatened him with ‘dire consequences’.
Kunal Kamra receives a warning for his joke about Eknath Shinde
Kunal Kamra’s show was recently being filmed at the Hotel Unicontinental in Khar, Mumbai. The segment featured a gaddar jibe at Eknath Shinde. He had mocked the deputy Chief Minister by modifying a song from the film, Dil Toh Pagal Hai. While Kunal thought the traitor jab would be considered a lighthearted comment, it did not sit well with the Sena leaders.
