Kangana Ranaut Condemns Kunal Kamra’s ‘Traitor’ Comment For Political Leader, Questions Credentials of ‘Fame-Seeking’ Influencers

Kunal Kamra recently found himself at the centre of controversy after he seemingly mocked Shinde by reworking a song from the Bollywood film Dil Toh Pagal Hai, indirectly referring to him as a ‘traitor’. He did that referring to his political realignments. His remarks were met with sharp criticism from members of Shiv Sena. Notably, Shiv Sena workers had stormed the Habitat comedy club, which hosted Kunal’s show, and vandalised it. Several celebrities have reacted to the fiasco. Now, Mandi MP and actor Kangana Ranaut too shared her reaction on Kunal Kamra controversy.

Kangana Ranaut on Kunal Kamra controversy

Speaking to the media outside Parliament, Ms Ranaut said she does not want to connect what happened to her with what’s happening now. “That was illegal, this is illegal. You can be anyone, but insulting someone is (wrong). A man for whom respect is everything, you are insulting him in the name of comedy. You are disregarding his work. Shindeji used to ply an auto-rikshaw at some point. Now he has risen so much,” she said.

Slamming Kamra, the actor said, “What are his credentials? Who are these people who could not achieve anything in life? Abusing in the name of comedy, mocking our religious texts and joking about our mothers and sisters. They call themselves influencers and do this for two minutes of fame. Where is our society headed?”

She said Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has rightly said that people need to take responsibility for their actions and speech. “So, do not link that episode with this. That was illegal, this action is legal,” she said.

When Kangana’s office was demolished due to Shiv Sena

In September 2020, a part of Kangana Ranaut’s office in Mumbai’s Pali Hill was demolished by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation on the grounds of encroachment. The action against Kangana followed a bitter spat between her and Shiv Sena leaders in the aftermath of actor Sushant Singh Rajput’s shocking death.
