Delhi CM Rekha Gupta Warned comedian Kunal Kamra, that he performs “at his own risk” due to his controversial content. Kamra hit back, joking it’s Delhi’s new “tourism tagline,” escalating the feud.
The warning follows Kamra’s sold-out show plans, stirring free speech debates online.
Kunal Kamra fired back on X, after Rekha Gupta Warned him about performing, quipping, “‘Come at your own risk’ should be Delhi Tourism’s tagline.”
His sharp Kamra’s Delhi Tourism Jab, a Social Media Clapback to the CM’s threat, fueled online buzz over his upcoming show.
Chief Minister Gupta was asked if she would permit comedians like Kunal Kamra to perform in Delhi, where he would probably make jokes about the Prime Minister and other individuals, during a media event hosted by The Indian Express group.
“He can come at his own risk,” the chief minister of Delhi retorted. Delhi residents would pay attention to him.
Gupta said, “Right, you come, I will welcome you,” in response to another newspaper representative who questioned how a chief minister could say “at his own risk” rather than at her assurance.
Kamra claimed to have “spoken like a true ABVP Karyakarta while having the opportunity to speak as a dignified Chief Minister” in a different post.
Earlier Controversies
Kamra, a stand-up comedian, has come under fire for his February 2025 YouTube special, Naya Bharat.
In which he used a modified Hindi song from the Shahrukh-Khan movie Dil Toh Pagal Hai to describe the 2022 uprising of Eknath Shinde against Uddhav Thackeray in Maharashtra.
Come at your own risk’ should be a tagline for Delhi Tourism.
In the video, which was shot at the Habitat Studio at the UniContinental hotel in Mumbai’s Khar district, Kamra parodied a Bollywood song and called Eknath Shinde a “gaddar” for his political scheming.
