Stand up comics and their brush with controversies
Stand up comics and their brush with controversies
NEW DELHI: Comedian Kunal Kamra's latest video has kicked up a storm in the Maharashtra political circle, just over a month after YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia's comments about parents and sex on comic Samay Raina's show "India's Got Latent" became a major controversy.
Kamra, known for his criticism of government and political leaders, is in the eye of the storm for his jibe against Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde in his new stand up.
But the Mumbai-born former advertising professional is not new to controversies. He and many comics have found themselves battling political pressure, police action, legal cases, and public criticism for their comments, videos or social media posts.
