Comedian Kunal Kumra Asked to Vacate His House Due to Political Issues

Being a comedian with a political opinion comes at a cost. Comedian Kunal Kamra, famous for his stand up acts on patriotism and the government in today’s india, has been asked to move out of his home due to his involvement in political issues.

In a facebook post, Kamra shares a screenshot of a WhatsApp conversation with his landlady who asked him to move out due to various “political issues coming up”. Kamra then goes on to share a message to young comedians about how being a comedian with a political opinion has cost him.

Kamra reveals that he used to get calls from the organisers saying they ‘don’t want to take a risk” as their guests were really powerful people “who they can’t piss off”.

For this, the organisers would completely scrap off Kamra’s session. He says that while he lost out on gigs due to political stand, his contemporaries performed at the same events.
