Kunal Kamra has been garnering headlines for his comments on Maharashtra Deputy CM Eknath Shinde. He made a parody of the ‘Dil To Pagal Hai’ song Bholi Si Surat and called the politician ‘gaddar’. “Meri nazar se tum dekho to gaddar nazar wo aaye. Haaye,” he said. While the comedian refused to apologise for his comment, Kangana reacted to the controversy and took a dig at Kamra.

They called me names like haramkhor, threatened me, served a notice late in the night to my watchman and next morning before courts could open bulldozers demolished the entire house. High court called the demolition completely illegal.

“…We should think where society is heading when someone does this only for 2 minutes of fame…You might be anyone, but insulting and defaming someone…A person for whom his/her respect is everything, and you insult and disregard them…Who are these people, and what are their credentials? If they can write, they should do so in literature…Abusing people and our culture in the name of comedy…This has been done legally, but what had been done (demolishing of her bungalow) to me was illegally done,” Kangana said while talking to ANI.
Eknath Shinde also reacted to Kamra’s comments and said, “Freedom of speech is there. We understand satire. But there should be a limit. This is like taking ‘supari’ (contract) to speak against someone.”
He added, “This same person (Kamra) had commented on the Supreme Court of India, the prime minister, (journalist) Arnab Goswami and some industrialists. This is not freedom of speech; this is working for someone.”
