City-based comedians have come out in support of Kunal Kamra, who has been barred by several airlines for heckling Arnab Goswami onboard an IndiGo flight. They heaped praise on Kamra for showing courage and taking a stand by asking the TV journalist the 'right questions' and are hailing him for his courage to deal with the consequences.

When I first saw Kamra's video questioning Arnab, with the latter unresponsive, I wondered whether this was the best way to hold him accountable. Even though I see him as a hate monger, I thought invading his personal space was crossing a line. But my opinion changed. At some point people like Arnab do need to be held accountable. It is not like he would sit down for a nuanced one-on-one conversation with Kamra, so if the only way to demand answers is on an airplane, so be it," said comedian Abbas Momin.
