Stand-up comedian Kunal Kamra, appearing before the Privileges Committee of the Maharashtra Legislative Council, said he felt no remorse whatsoever about his remarks targeting Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, nor was he willing to tender any apology.
The fallout from Ranveer Allahbadia’s infamous ‘Latent’ episode still haunts India’s comedy scene. Kunal Kamra says dozens of comedians paid the price for one viral misstep, with shows canceled and FIRs filed.
“Since the original complainant, BJP leader Praveen Darekar was not present, the hearing of the case will be held on March 10, when Darekar and those accused will record their testimonies,” Privileges Committee Chairman and BJP leader Prasad Lad said.
The Privileges Committee of the Maharashtra state Legislative Council on Wednesday issued summons to controversial stand-up comedian Kunal Kamra and Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena leader Sushma Andhare for allegedly making "insulting" remarks against Maharashtra Deputy CM Eknath Shinde in March 2025.
However, due to the image of the dog strategically obscuring a part of the letter 'R', the alphabet would be read as 'P' instead of the letter 'R' and the set of letters would also appear to be 'PSS'.
Amidst the ongoing controversy, Kunal Kamra reveals that a 'Bigg Boss' casting director sent him an invitation. Kamra prefers a mental asylum.
Kunal Kamra, known for his razor-sharp political jabs, recently raised concerns about being potentially "delisted" by BookMyShow, the ticketing giant that helps artists reach their audiences.
Justice Sunder Mohan extended the interim protection in the three cases filed against him for his alleged remarks in a recent show in Mumbai against Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde.
The remark sparked a row after the stand-up show "Naya Bharat" went live, leading Shiv Sena workers to vandalise Mumbai’s Habitat Studio, where Kamra had performed the set.
In the latest in Kunal Kamra-Eknath Shinde row, online ticketing platform BookMyShow has delisted the stand-up comedian known for his topical comedy.
