In March, Kunal Kamra stirred controversy with his remarks about Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde. Recently, actor Swara Bhasker expressed her support for Kamra on Instagram, cleverly responding to a threatening call from a Shiv Sena supporter who targeted Kamra after learning he was in Tamil Nadu.Joyful Moments Captured in PhotosSwara posted two photos featuring herself alongside Kamra, both sporting white attire and sharing warm smiles, reflecting a joyful moment. On one of the pictures, she included the phrase, “Tamil Nadu kaise pahuchega bhai (How will you reach Tamil Nadu)?” directly referencing Kunal’s clever reply to the threatening call he received.Caption and Location TagIn the caption, the actress wrote, “Someone once asked… “TamilNadu kaisey pahunchega bhai?” (laughing face emoticon) Featuring one and only @kuna_kamra.” The post was geo-tagged at Tamil Nadu.The Threatening Call ExplainedFor the unversed, in a 53-second audio clip that surfaced, Kunal was subjected to verbal abuse by a caller who threatened that Kamra would suffer the same consequences as the Mumbai studio targeted during his criticism of Eknath Shinde. When Kamra mentioned he was in Tamil Nadu, the caller questioned, “Tamil Nadu kaise pahuchega bhai,” before instructing him to “Talk to our sir, one minute,” and then abruptly ended the call.The Controversial Parody SongDuring one of his performances, Kunal presented a parody of the hit song “Bholi Si Surat” from ‘Dil To Pagal Hai’, which took aim at Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde. This act sparked multiple FIRs against him and prompted Shinde’s youth wing, Yuva Sena, to vandalise The Habitat, the location where the show was recorded.
