During a show at the Habitat Comedy Club in Mumbai’s Khar, Kunal Kamra performed a satirical rendition of Bholi Si Surat from the 1997 film Dil To Pagal Hai, making indirect remarks about the Shiv Sena chief without naming him. The song included the word gaddar (traitor), widely interpreted as a reference to Eknath Shinde’s 2022 split from Shiv Sena and his alliance with the BJP, which led to the fall of the Uddhav Thackeray-led Maharashtra government.
