Kunal Kamra has been banned, sued, raided and trolled and he's still not apologising. In this Bombay Journey, he opens up on the call recording leak, the airline ban, Arnab, Chetan Bhagat, Samay Raina, and why he genuinely thinks Indian TV media should be shut down.
From a ₹9000-a-month job at Corcoise Films to becoming India's most polarising political comedian Kunal Kamra joins host Siddhaarth Aalambayan on The Bombay Journey for one of the most candid conversations of the season.
In this episode, Kunal talks about life after moving to a farm in Pondicherry, why he refused to apologise during the Eknath Shinde parody song controversy, what really happened with the leaked call recording, and how he beat the airline ban in court. He gets brutally honest about Indian TV news, Arnab Goswami, Chetan Bhagat, the Samay Raina & BeerBiceps Latent fallout, and why he has zero interest in becoming a political advisor.
Along the way, there's a hilarious mock ad pitch for mosambi juice, Mumbai nostalgia from Shivaji Park, his go-to vada pav spots, book recommendations from Bookworm Bangalore, and a no-filter take on Chetan Bhagat that you have to hear to believe.
