Oye Kunal Kamra, Tu Itna Anti-National Kyun Hai Bhai?

Kunal Kamra has a question for Modiji. And one for Arnab G too!

Jawaab de, Kunal.

Some call him India’s gutsiest comedian, others call him an anti-national/Pakistani/JNU-wallah/libtard... you get the drift. And what does stand-up comedian Kunal Kamra have to say to his trolls?

Catch him read some really mean tweets and respond to the trolls who posted them!

Like this one, for example.

Tu Pakistani Hai Kya?

Nationality pe doubt.

Kunal’s Response:

Dude, what do you mean? I’ve not even shifted my PIN code. Aur passport toh Aadhaar se linked hai, bhai. Check karwa le! I just feel like tweeting that picture of Modi<i>ji</i> and Nawaz Sharif together to these guys.

Narendra Modi and Nawaz Sharif, In friendlier times.

Tu Communist/Congressi Hai Kya?

Kunal’s Response:

Aisa koi type hi nahi hai, yaar. Show me one person who is BOTH communist and Congressi. Collectively, if people have the same opinion, does not mean they are friends. You have to understand this. If you and I both like chaat, that doesn’t mean we’ll shake hands and become friends. It’s not like I see another person wearing specs and I go like, “Cheers!”

That chaat analogy though.

Tu Arnab Se Jalta Hai Kya?

Kunal’s Response:

What scares me is that he’s a journalist on primetime and I am a comedian. I can do whatever I want. Millions and millions of people don’t tune into me at 9 o’clock expecting to know something about the country. They tune into him. So, he should shoulder a certain responsibility.

Tu JNU Se Hai Kya?

Kunal’s Response:

“It's just a silly joke on how everybody blames Narendra Modi for everything. If they were smart, they would understand it's a pro-Narendra Modi joke. But sir, you have to know, I am a comedian who has shows booked, I have plans. I have other things to do, as do JNU kids. So please, dissociate the two of us and look at us independently.”

Trolls Ke Liye Message Kya Hai?

I’m telling you, abuse all you want. If you feel that will make your anger subside, release your pent-up pressure and make yourself feel happier, then do it. I do the same with the BJP and Modi<i>ji</i>!

Kunal Kamra

Here are a couple of examples.

Phew.

No Stranger to Controversy

After watching him respond to the trolls, catch this interview in which Kunal Kamra fields questions about every recent controversy he’s been in. And there are quite a few!
