Kunal Kamra, a well-known comedian, posted a conversation with an anonymous casting director for Bigg Boss, on his social media account. The two-message conversation involves the casting director asking Kunal to consider contesting in Bigg Boss and the comedian’s snide remark.
Kunal Kamra Says No To Bigg Boss
Salman Khan-hosted Bigg Boss is a reality TV show on Colours. It is popular among fans for the drama the Bigg Boss house creates and for the transformation contestants go through. Kunal Kamra shared a chat screenshot on his Instagram story, which had a message from a person who claimed to be Bigg Boss’s casting agent, telling Kunal that his name came up while discussing the next season’s contestant.
He asked the comedian if he would like to join Bigg Boss and enjoy the exposure he gets, even though the show was not on his radar. Kunal replied snarkily, “I would much rather check into a mental hospital…” One can only imagine the jerk the casting director must have received from Kunal’s message.
Kunal Kamra’s Recent Controversy With Mumbai’s Deputy CM
Kunal Kamra was stuck in a controversy with the Mumbai police and Mumbai’s Deputy CM, Eknath Shinde, because of the jokes Kunal made during a stand-up show in Mumbai. The CM allegedly filed a defamation and public mischief case against Kunal, after which the Mumbai police summoned him. Reportedly, the jokes hurt people’s sentiments, and Kunal shared that he received around 500 death threats.
The extreme reaction from the public caused him to leave Mumbai and go to Tamil Nadu to appeal for interim protection from arrest. The Madras High Court approved his request and protected him against the FIR. The controversy affected Kunal’s shows and career as he asked the platform BookMyShow not to remove his shows and to be transparent. BookMyShow said that facts were misrepresented.
