Kunal Kamra Eknath Shinde | How Kamra Landed In Soup For 'Traitor' Remark, Controversy Explained Kunal Kamra's joke on Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister and Shiv Sena leader Eknath Shinde during a stand-up act has triggered a political slugfest, with Sena workers ransacking the space in the Mumbai hotel where the comedian performed, and threatening him of "dire consequences". The comedian, during his performance at the 'Unicontinental Mumbai' hotel in Mumbai's Khar, referred to Mr Shinde as a "traitor" and went on to sing a parody on him. He used a modified version of a Hindi song from the movie 'Dil To Pagal Hai' to describe the 2022 rebellion of Mr Shinde against his then boss Uddhav Thackeray, who lost power due to the mass defection of MLAs. Mr Shinde formed a government in alliance with the BJP.
