Summary: Following Kunal Kamra’s jibe at Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, however, fans now donate lakhs on YouTube, sparking debate.
After making fun of Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, comedian Kunal Kamra has received unexpected support from his fans. Kamra's supporters showered his YouTube channel with donations after the scandal, sending in lakhs of rupees.
Kamra's harsh comment against Shinde triggered the political faction, drawing criticism from Shiv Sena leaders and resulting in a legal complaint against him. However, he is not discouraged. His supporters encouraged him by offering donations during live YouTube streams.
Kamra, known for his bold political comedy, thanked everyone for their support and acknowledged the huge response. Social media, however, is already engaged in debates on whether comedians should be allowed to criticize politicians without the fear of legal consequences, making the issue one between political sensitivity and free speech.
While his supporters rally behind him, Kamra continues to interact with his audience and use comedy to counter the criticism as the controversy develops.
