The uproar over Kunal Kamra's (Kunal Kamra) comments on Maharashtra's Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde continues, with Shiv Sena members rioting in protest. Amidst this, an alleged audio clip of Kamra and a Shinde supporter is going viral.
In the clip, a man claiming to be a supporter of Eknath Shinde challenges Kamra, questioning his remarks about 'Saab' (Sir) referring to CM Shinde. In a witty exchange, Kamra questions if Shinde is still the CM, the supporter threatens Kamra, promising the same fate as the demolished Habitat Studio.
The supporter warns Kamra of consequences wherever he's found, echoing the destruction seen at Habitat Studio. This studio was the setting for Kamra’s parody song about Shinde, which has been the crux of the commotion.
The audio further reveals the supporter inquiring about Kamra's whereabouts, to which Kamra responds, 'Come to Tamil Nadu; I'll be here.' However, the authenticity of the clip cannot be confirmed.
Known for his sharp wit and commentary, Kunal Kamra posted a video on his social media that takes aim at Maharashtra's Deputy CM Eknath Shinde with a parody of the Bollywood song from 'Dil To Pagal Hai.' This post sparked outrage among Shiv Sena leaders (Shinde faction), leading to significant backlash.
The viral video has ignited anger among Shiv Sena (Shinde faction) leaders, prompting them to rampage through the Khar area of Mumbai, targeting studios and hotels believed to be involved in the video’s production. Amidst this chaos, an FIR was lodged against Kunal Kamra at the MIDC Police Station, as stated by Shinde Sena legislator Muraji Patel in his complaint.
Reacting to Kunal Kamra’s video, Shiv Sena MP Milind Deora posted on 'X,' saying, 'Eknath Shinde, who rose from an auto-driver to the CM of India’s second-largest state, was ridiculed. Such remarks reek of classist arrogance. India is rejecting the entitled dynasties feigning support for merit and democracy.'
Meanwhile, Shiv Sena MP Naresh Mhaske issued a warning to Kamra, stating that Shiv Sena workers would be on his heels nationwide, forewarning that 'You will be forced to flee India.'
Remember, following the controversy over Kunal Kamra's remarks about Eknath Shinde, BMC officials dismantled a section of the Mumbai Habitat Studio on Monday, which was the venue for Kamra's contentious show involving comments on Shinde.
