‘Hum Honge Kangal….’ Kunal Kamra New Song, Hits Back at Shiv Sena After Mumbai Studio Vandalism
Comedian Kunal Kamra has released a new song titled Hum Honge Kangal to criticize Shiv Sena workers for vandalising Mumbai’s Habitat comedy club, where he had previously mocked Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde. The video, shared on social media, features visuals of the destruction caused by Sena workers, escalating the ongoing controversy. This comes shortly after Mumbai Police summoned Kamra for questioning over his remarks.
In the video, Kamra sings Hum Honge Kangal ek din, man me hai andhvishwas, desk ka satyanash, while visuals show Sena workers throwing chairs and damaging property at the Habitat comedy club. The song is a direct response to the vandalism that followed Kamra’s earlier “traitor” jibe at Shinde, referencing his 2022 split from the Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena.
Hours before releasing the song, Kamra was summoned by Mumbai’s Khar police to appear at 11 am for questioning regarding his comments on Shinde. In a written reply filed through his lawyer, Kamra sought a week’s extension to comply with the summons. The comedian’s remarks have already led to legal action and protests by Shinde’s supporters.

The row erupted after Kamra mocked Shinde during a comedy show at Habitat, calling him a “traitor” for his role in the 2022 Shiv Sena split that toppled the MVA government. The comment triggered outrage, with Sena workers vandalising the venue, leading to the arrest of 12 party members who were later granted bail. The incident has sparked a wider debate on freedom of expression.
Kamra’s new song is likely to intensify the controversy, potentially drawing further reactions from Shiv Sena and political leaders. With the comedian seeking more time to respond to the police summons, the legal proceedings will be closely watched. The ongoing row continues to highlight tensions between artistic freedom and political sensitivities in Maharashtra.
