Kunal Kamra Controversy: Hansal Mehta Praises Him, Calls It Courageous

Kunal Kamra Controversy: Comedian Kunal Kamra's troubles are increasing. Kunal Kamra (Kunal Kamra joke row) is facing criticism especially from Shiv Sena (Kunal Kamra- Eknath Shinde Controversy) for his comments against Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde. A case has been registered against Kunal Kamra at Manmad Police Station in Nashik, Maharashtra. Meanwhile, filmmaker Hansal Mehta has praised comedian Kunal Kamra's decision not to apologize for his comments on Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde.

In fact, Hansal Mehta was asked about his opinion on Kunal Kamra not apologizing in an interview. Responding to which, the producer said, "It is very courageous of him to say so. Ranveer Allahbadia and Samay Raina had to bow down after the former's inappropriate comment on India's Got Talent, but Kunal Kamra did not change his stance even after all the outrage and that is very courageous".

Hansal Mehta was also asked about stand-up comedian Kunal being "harassed for years" and whether it is because "we lack a sense of humour". He said, "We lack the ability to laugh at ourselves. It doesn't come naturally to us. The other day, I was watching this video, I think it was from the Golden Globes, and this person was saying some really nasty things about Hollywood greats like Robert De Niro, Al Pacino and Clint Eastwood, who were all in the audience and laughing. Culturally, we are not that sporting, we are over-sensitive".

For your information, let us tell you that Hansal Mehta had earlier defended Kunal Kamra, saying that no matter how deep the disagreement and the intensity of the provocation, violence, threats, and insults are not justified. In a series of posts, the director recalled his experience with Shiv Sena about 25 years ago when workers of the then-undivided political party vandalized his office. The producer said, "Sadly, what happened to Kamra is not new to Maharashtra. I have gone through this myself. They vandalized, beat me up, smeared my face with soot and forced me to publicly apologize to an elderly woman by falling at her feet for a line of dialogue in my film".
