New Delhi : Comedian Kunal Kamra, known for his chaste Hindi expletives and trolling, recently sparred with The New Indian Executive Editor Rohan Dua on X (formerly known as Twitter).
The exchange began when Dua posted a video of an online conversation between YouTuber Dhruv Rathee, comedian Kunal Kamra, Satndup Comedian and host Samay Raina and chess player and founder of Chessbaseindia, Sagar Shah, during a chess match between Dhruv Rathee and Kunal Kumra, which hosted by Samay Raina.
After the match, Dhruv said goodbye, and Samay Raina asked Dhruv Rathee when he would be coming to India. Kamra quipped that it depends on the outcome of the upcoming Lok Sabha elections on June 4.
Tensions escalated when Dua criticised both Dhruv Rathee and Kunal Kamra, alleging that they suffer from mental disorders.
He tweeted, ” Two high quality buffoons @dhruv_rathee & @kunalkamra88 who now every industrialist, economist, trader, engineer, medico, farmer, AI designer, laywer, IAS/IPS in this country have begun to believe they are scrap dealers, suffering from psychotic disorder.
