Actor Swara Bhasker has come out in support of stand-up comedian Kunal Kamra, sharing a light-hearted Instagram post that takes a direct dig at a viral threat call he received earlier this year. The duo was seen smiling in coordinated white outfits, with Swara captioning the post: “Someone once asked… ‘Tamil Nadu kaisey pahunchega bhai?’”—a nod to the now-infamous line from the threatening call.
The Viral Call That Sparked It All
The controversy began when Kamra, during a performance, parodied the song “Bholi Si Surat” to satirize Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde. The act triggered multiple FIRs and led to the vandalism of the show’s venue by Yuva Sena members. In a leaked 53-second audio clip, a caller verbally abused Kamra and questioned how he would reach Tamil Nadu, implying threats of violence.
Swara’s Subtle Solidarity
Swara’s post, geo-tagged in Tamil Nadu, featured two cheerful photos with Kamra and the phrase “Tamil Nadu kaise pahuchega bhai” written across one of them. The post quickly gained traction, with fans applauding her for standing by Kamra and using humor to defuse tension.
Social Media Reacts
The post drew widespread attention, with users flooding the comments with laughing emojis and praise. One user wrote, “You reached, Swara ji—congratulations!” while another added, “Haha what a line! And the way that guy delivered it… damn funny.”
A Message Beyond the Smile
While playful on the surface, the post underscores a deeper message about freedom of expression and solidarity in the face of intimidation. Both Swara and Kamra have been vocal critics of political establishments and continue to use their platforms to challenge censorship and support artistic freedom.
