Stand-up comedian Kunal Kamra has been issued a second notice by Mumbai police to appear for questioning in a defamation case filed against him for allegedly making derogatory remarks against Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde. The case was filed based on a complaint by Shiv Sena MLA Murji Patel, who accused Kamra of making defamatory statements during a recent show. Kamra's show had sparked controversy with his satirical comments about Shinde's political career and the 2022 rebellion that brought down the MVA government. The notice comes after the police had issued a previous notice to Kamra on Tuesday and sought his presence. Following the first notice, sources said Kamra had requested a week's time to appear before the police.
Comedian Kunal Kamra has revealed that he was approached to be a contestant on the reality show "Bigg Boss", but he declined the offer.

He shared a screenshot of a WhatsApp conversation with someone claiming to be handling casting for the show, where he stated that he would "much rather check into a mental hospital" than participate. It remains unclear whether the offer was for the 19th season of "Bigg Boss" or the fourth season of its OTT version.

The Supreme Court previously called his comments "vulgar" and said he had a "dirty mind" which put society to shame.
