The video went viral and led IndiGo to suspend Kamra from flying with it for six months. Air India and SpiceJet also put him on a no-fly list

Kamra found himself at the centre of another scandal that year when he mocked then Chief Justice of India Sharad Arvind Bobde

In 2022, he wrote to the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) asking it to denounce Mahatma Gandhi's assassin Nathuram Godse to prove that the outfit is pro-Hindu and anti-terrorism
