Kunal Kamra Rejects 'Bigg Boss' Offer Amidst Controversy

Comedian Kunal Kamra declined a role on 'Bigg Boss', sharing a screenshot of the casting offer on Instagram. Known for his anti-establishment views, Kamra faces multiple FIRs and controversy from his stand-up show 'Naya Bharat'. He also moved the Bombay High Court regarding an FIR linked to remarks against Maharashtra Deputy CM.

Comedian Kunal Kamra revealed that he was recently approached for the upcoming season of the popular reality show 'Bigg Boss', an offer he chose to decline. Kamra shared a WhatsApp exchange on his Instagram Story, where a casting professional suggested Kamra could find the platform beneficial for expanding his audience.

Despite the enticing proposition, Kamra humorously responded that he would prefer checking into a mental hospital.
