The Kunal Kamra Controversy: Sandeep Anand Takes Jibes at The Stand-up Comic & His Airlines Ban

Actor Sandeep Anand was also not too mused with Kamra's actions where he recently created an online poll that asked 'What will you call a person silently travelling on an aircraft? Passenger or Journalist’; to which most of the people replied 'journalist'.

For the past one week or so, everything has been about stand-up comic Kunal Kamra and how he was banned by four airline companies after his video clip of probing and 'heckling' journalist Arnab Goswami went viral.

This ban and Kamra's further comments on the same went on to invite a lot of discussion and just like many other cases, polarized responses.

And it seems that actor Sandeep Anand was also not too mused with Kamra's actions where he recently created an online poll that asked 'What will you call a person silently travelling on an aircraft? Passenger or Journalist’; to which most of the people replied 'journalist'.

Sandeep on his Instagram also posted a picture of thumbs up to Indigo airlines and wrote ‘Because I only act onscreen’. He also posted an image which said ‘Indigo ki saari flights mein kamra hai aur hamesha rahega susu jane ke liye, ab aapka man hai, use washroom bolo ya jo man kare’. 

Opening up on the whole saga to TellyChakkar, Anand said, "We live in a world full of opportunists. These opportunists do not care for the safety or convenience of the fellow passengers and crew or the polite denial by the person they want to converse with. They just do not want to miss an opportunity to create content and act. The stand-up comic said that Arnab does not let the fellow panellists speak in the discussions, however, the truth is the panellists go in his debate by ‘CONSENT’ and are ‘WILLINGLY’ participating in the discussion. Here there was neither consent nor willingness and both were conveniently ignored at the cost of content creation and acting. I only act onscreen and I detest people who do not do so. I strongly believe that the stand-up comic should not have ranted mid-air and took to social media or his next show to vent out all that he had to say."

He concluded saying, "I am from a defence family and have immense respect for the country’s armed forces. They are the reason for our safe existence. My grandfather was in the Indian Army and was a part of many wars. Many of many relatives still serve in the armed forces. Witnessing the defence expo made me nostalgic as I could see in front of my eyes the machines I only heard about in stories.”
