Standup comedian Kunal Kamra had targeted Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde during one of his shows some time ago and addressed him as a traitor. After this, there was heavy opposition from comedians everywhere. He was bocotted and the people of Shiv Sena also vandalized the platform from which he performed. Now Kunal Kamra has got relief from the Madras High Court recently in this case. On the other hand, the comedian recently removed the book My Show. Now the reaction of Kunal Kamra has also come on this. He has given a befitting reply to Book My Show.
What did Kunal Kamra say on Book My Show?
Kunal Kamra, while replying to the Book My Show, wrote- We know that you have to make a good relationship with Maharashtra because there is an entertainment hub in this state. Shows like coldplays and guns and roses without the cooperation of the state are not possible. The issue is not that you have removed my name from the list but the issue is your right to list the artists. They themselves cannot put their shows on their sites. The performance that I gave from 2017 to 2025, even till the audience of my audience, is no longer left.
Dear @bookmyshow – I still do not know if i have your platform or no.
Below is humble view –
To the audiences im not a fan of boycots or down rating a private business

According to your business model, you take 10 % cut on listing any show. It does not matter whether the comedian is big or small, everyone has to pay 6 thousand to 10 thousand rupees every day under compulsion to reach their own audience rich. This price is extra which we are facing all comedians.
Kunal Kamra wrote in the caption with the post- Dear @bookmyshow, I do not yet know whether I have your platform or number or not, but I want to make it clear that I am not a big fan of boys, and I do not believe in demolishing private business, and I do not believe in demolition of private business, book My shows are fully responsible for the best decisions on the basis of my rights.
