Of late, India has become divided in two extreme ends of a spectrum. There are journalists and celebrities who applaud the Government and have become exceedingly right-wing like Arnab Goswami and then there are other celebs, journalists and stand-up comics who don’t miss an opportunity to berate the government and do not shy away from showing their political ideology like Rajdeep Sardesai, Barkha Dutt, Anurag Kashyap and Kunal Kamra. So, it brought a very interesting dimension when Kunal met Arnab on a flight, what ensued is open to comprehension depending upon whom you are supporting.
After ending up in the same Indigo flight, Kunal tried to get Arnab to respond in a way reminiscent of a Republic TV debate. In a video that he posted on Twitter, Kunal can be seen challenging Arnab to speak out about his support towards the BJP government. However, there was no argument as Arnab did not rise to the bait and ignored Kunal’s taunts and insisted that he will stay quiet.
Met Arnab Goswami on a flight & gave him a monologue about his ‘journalism’
All he did was call me mentally unstable & after sometime I had no choice but to return to my seat.
The entire flight I’ll keep pretending to use the loo just to tell him he’s piece of SHIT
F*CK Arnab

To all you ‘Nationalists’,
A member of the Anti-national club approached Arnab for a dialogue, he could educate me better on national interests & how I should keep nation first... instead of that he chose to watch some shitty movie & not engage.
Arnab your mask is off...

The video went viral on social media and within no time Arnab started trending. However, many felt that Kunal violated Arnab’s space and it was not right for him to do, some people even went ahead and advised Arnab to sue Kunal. However, many saw the video as hilarious and came up equally funny tweets. Check them out below.
Arnab and Rajdeep faced same situation.
Arnab stayed silent and calm
Rajdeep abused and punched people.
Difference!

Arnab ignored him royally
Pass on our admiration and compliments to him— Shashank (@Shashank022002) January 28, 2020
Dear @IndEditorsGuild, do you support what happened with Arnab Goswami or will you issue a statement? Kunal Kamra is a serial offender, before this, he photoshopped BSE board. This has to be taken very seriously. #Arnab

Someone heckled @sardesairajdeep in public, he punched him
Someone heckled Arnab in public, he put on earphones
Who is fascist & dangerous for REPUBLIC?

Anyway, regardless of the noise Arnab makes in his studio, it's not cool to shoot videos & heckle him non-stop in public places. After all, airlines come under "civil" aviation.

Saw the Arnab - Kunal Kamra video. I think Arnab was quite chilled, perhaps softly humming to himself - "Hum tum, ek Kamra main bandh hain."

Nation Now knows.
Arnab 'Maun'swami is a Coward. https://t.co/k56E7bvXss

Kunal Kamra's in-flight 'interview' of Arnab Goswami will go down in history as the 1.30 minutes in his life when Arnab said nothing.

Why is Arnab wearing sunglasses inside the plane while watching a movie?

Arnab remaining silent is the 2nd most rarest thing that has happened in India
Modi speaking truth still remains the 1st#FattuArnab

What a legend Kunal is! Thanks for speaking about Rohith Vemula. My respect has grown ten fold for you. Arnab is complicit in the hate that is spread in our country right now. If you have watched and analysed Arnab's shows, you know how dangerous this guy is. F#*k off Arnab. https://t.co/jD6MC80FRE
