Comedian Kunal Kamra faces a ban from IndiGo, AirIndia and SpiceJet after his recent encounter with Republic TV host and journalist Arnab Goswami.
Indian stand-up comedian, Kunal Kamra is known for his standups on politics and patriotism. A former production assistant, he was introduced to stand-up by his friend and comedian Siddharth Dudeja. He landed up with his first gig 'Blue Frog' in 2013 when he visited his friend who was the event headliner and who allowed him to perform his first stand-up. Kunal has always found himself on the radar for his political satires and jokes and has been able to create a stir in the media with his gigs. He has strongly spoken about various issues he supports and stands for openly in the media. However, he is in the news for his latest encounter with Arnab Goswami, Indian journalist and Television host, on a plane.
Kunal confronted the Republic Tv anchor on the flight and recorded the same while the anchor chose to ignore the comedian throughout the video. The video went viral after the comedian posted it on his Instagram.
