NEW DELHI: Stand-up comedian Kunal Kamra on Monday responded to the controversy sparked by his show at Mumbai’s Habitat Studio. The uproar stemmed from a segment where he parodied a popular Hindi song from Dil Toh Pagal Hai, referring to Eknath Shinde as a “gaddar” (traitor).
“I will not apologise,” Kamra asserted in his first reaction, taking aim at the “mob and politicians” over the backlash to his joke.
The incident led to chaotic protests and vandalism by Shinde-led Sena party workers.
