Here are 5 incidents when Kamra was in shallow waters
Confrontation with Arnab Goswami

Make fun of Kangana Ranaut

During his interview with the deputy of Rajya Sabha, Sanjay Raut, Kamra expressed his support for demolition and posed with Raut in a photo shoot with a toy bulldozer.
During the interview, Kamra also suggested that Sanjay Raut should be president of India. This moment of setback is now gaining attention when the comedian faces a violent reaction for his last controversy.
Contempt of the Court
A petition was filed against Kamra in the Supreme Court after he said that the Apex court was a matter of ‘Brahmin-Baniya’.
The petition was filed as an intervention request in a case of contempt already pending against Kunal Kamra.
In 2021, Kamra, in his affidavit, defended his tweets against the Judiciary, saying that India would be reduced to a “country of imprisoned and flourishing artists” if powerful people and institutions show an inability to “tolerate disgust or criticism.”
“We are witnessing an assault on freedom of speech And expression, with comedians like Munawar Farooqi imprisoned by jokes they have not done, and school students are interrogated for their sedition. At that time, I hope this court shows that freedom of expression and expression is of cardinal constitutional value and recognizes that the possibility of offending is a necessary incident for the exercise of this right, “he added.
Kamra vs Ola Scooter
The head of Kamra and Ola Electric Bhavish Agarwal participated in a war war after the comedian pointed out the company’s failure to address the increasing complaints of the clients and the unresolved refund problems, among other concerns.
It all started when Kamra expressed concerns about the situation of the company’s electric scooters service. Sharing an image that represents a large number of EV scooters that are parked in an OLA service center in X (previously Twitter), Kamra wrote: “Do Indian consumers have voice? Do they deserve it?
Agwal responded to Kamra and said it was a paid position and that the comedian could “come and help.”
“Since you care so much, Kunal Kamra, come and help us! I will even pay more than what he won for this paid tweet or your failed comedy career. Or, otherwise, it is silent and I will focus on solving the problems for real customers. We are expanding our network of services quickly, and the delays will be cleaned soon,” Bhavish said.
Showstopper VHP

Kamra was accused of making jokes about Hindu deities, which VHP said it could lead to tension in the city.
