Shiv Sena (UBT) chief Uddhav Thackeray criticised the Maharashtra government for selectively summoning comedian Kunal Kamra while remaining silent on actor Rahul Solapurkar&rsquo;s remarks regarding Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. Thackeray questioned the double standards, pointing out that Kamra was summoned twice for allegedly insulting a "traitor," yet Solapurkar faced no repercussions for his controversial statement about Shivaji Maharaj&rsquo;s escape from Agra Fort.

While the stand-up comedy scene in India has evolved in the past decade with more performance avenues and audience, so has the risk of landing in trouble due to jokes on politics, religion, culture, etc. Most recently, stand-up comedian Kunal Kamra has found himself amid a controversy due to his alleged defamatory remarks on Maharashtra Deputy CM Eknath Shinde. This isn&rsquo;t the first time Kamra has courted controversy with his provocative humour.
Apart from Kamra, several other comedians have also been attacked or landed in trouble in recent years over their jokes and remarks. Here is a look at some of them. (File Pics)
