Kunal Kamra hits back at Mumbai venue vandalism with parody video ‘Hum Honge Kangal’ amid ‘gaddar’ row. Watch | Bollywood News
A few hours after Mumbai Police summoned comedian Kunal Kamra for questioning over his controversial ‘traitor’ remark aimed at Maharashtra Deputy CM Eknath Shinde, the comedian shared another clip criticizing Shiv Sena workers for vandalizing Mumbai’s The Habitat comedy club, where he had performed his stand-up special Naya Bharat.
In the clip, Kamra is seen singing a parody version of the song “Hum Honge Kamyab”, modified as “Hum Honge Kangal”. The footage, originally from his stand-up special, is juxtaposed with visuals of Shiv Sena workers breaking chairs and vandalizing the comedy club. The lyrics of the parody read: “Hum honge kangal ek din, mann mein hai andhvishwas, desh ka satyanash (We will be poor one day, there is blind faith in the heart, the country is heading towards destruction).”

Kunal Kamra, who resides in Puducherry, responded to the Mumbai Police summons through his lawyer, requesting a week’s time. The vandalism occurred after the comedian referred to CM Eknath Shinde as a gaddar (traitor), a reference to Shinde’s 2022 split from the Shiv Sena, a party founded Bal Thackeray.
Despite the backlash, Kamra refused to apologize for his remarks. In a statement, he said, “Freedom of expression is there; we understand satire, but there should be a limit.”
Meanwhile, Eknath Shinda shared his take on the controversy, He had said, “Freedom of expression is there; we understand satire, but there should be a limit.” Other politicians like Maharashtra Chief Miner Devendra Fadnavis, Kangana Ranaut and Uttar Pradesh Chief Miner Yogi Adityanath also condemned Kunal Kunal’s remarks.
