Actor Vidyut Jammwal has recently come out in the support of comedian Kunal Kamra amid the ongoing controversy that erupted on his sarcastic comments on Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde.
While defending Kunal, Vidyut raised concerns over the lack of accountability for Kamaal R Khan (KRK), who is known for making controversial statements.
Vidyut Jammwal Calls Out Hypocrisy
Taking to Instagram, Vidyut shared a video which comprises both KRK and Kunal Kamra. In the caption, he strongly criticised KRK’s statements and says that he target India and its women on his videos and yet doesn’t receive any backlash. However, Kunal’s statement that was just a sarcasm has gained so much backlash.
In the caption, he wrote: “Here is a man taking refuge outside the country, drawing attention by spewing venom against the nation and our women. No one questions his intent or mobilises against him. But we take a stand-up comedian to task for evoking strong emotions with his act. Do we uphold the rights of politicians over our nation and our women?”
Support From Industry People
Vidyut’s post quickly gained attention and several celebrities showing their support on the comment section. Actress Richa Chadha, who had also taken legal action against KRK, back then wrote, “I took him to court. Why can’t others?” Actor Arjun Kapoor also expressed support by liking the post.
Fans lauded Vidyut for addressing this issue with one user commenting, “Finally, someone influential is speaking up. More power to you!”
What is Kunal Kamra Controversy About
Kunal Kamra has recently faced severe backlash after making remarks about Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde during a stand-up performance. His comments angered Shiv Sena workers, leading to the vandalism of Mumbai’s Habitat Studio.
Following the incident, Kunal was issued two summonses by the Khar Police Station in Mumbai, for which he requested extension. However, his request for an extension to respond was denied.
Kamaal R Khan, a self-proclaimed film critic, has often made controversial statements targeting Bollywood celebrities, politicians, and public figures.
