Kunal Kamra's social media presence has taken a dark and contentious turn. Instead of using his platform for constructive discourse, Kamra has resorted to sharing manipulated images and videos targeting right-wing political leaders.

However, what's striking is the irony embedded within these depictions, as Kamra himself, widely regarded as anti-national, often ends up being the subject of mockery.


One notable instance was when Kamra shared a morphed image on Twitter (now X), depicting the Supreme Court with a saffron hue, accompanied by a caption labeling it as the "most supreme joke" of the country. This tweet was part of a series of critical posts aimed at the judiciary, leading to a contempt of court case against him.

It's evident that Kamra's career has become heavily reliant on mocking the ruling government, showcasing a desperate attempt to stay relevant by resorting to cheap and tasteless humor.

His willingness to stoop to such levels raises serious questions about his integrity and professionalism as a comedian. Rather than engaging in meaningful dialogue or offering genuine insight, Kamra's antics only serve to perpetuate division and hostility in society.


“His blatant disregard for ethical boundaries and responsible social media use is deeply concerning. By propagating morphed content aimed at ridiculing political figures, Kamra not only undermines the dignity of those individuals but also tarnishes his own reputation as an entertainer. It's a stark reminder of the dangers of misuse of influence and the consequences of prioritizing sensationalism over substance.”


Moreover, Kamra's penchant for sharing selectively edited video footage further exacerbates the issue, obscuring the full context and manipulating viewer’s perceptions. By presenting half-truths and distorted narratives, he intentionally misleads his audience, preventing them from grasping the complete picture.


As Kamra continues to prioritize sensationalism over meaningful engagement, it's becoming increasingly clear that his legacy may ultimately be defined by controversy rather than comedy.

His descent into a realm of cheap political mockery not only reflects poorly on his character but also diminishes the credibility of the comedy industry as a whole. It's a sobering reminder that even those entrusted with the power of laughter must wield it responsibly, lest they become the joke themselves.


Kamra is not the sole individual engaged in such practices; there is another figure who shares similar tendencies. Without explicitly naming this individual, it's worth noting their penchant for creating content critical of India while residing overseas. It's baffling how someone living outside the country can speak authoritatively on Indian policies and issues.

For instance, when Arvind Kejriwal faced allegations related to a liquor scam, this individual remained conspicuously silent, raising questions about their selective targeting. It's conceivable that fear of repercussions or potential disruptions in funding from certain political entities may have influenced their silence on pertinent matters within India.
