Mann mein Nathuram, harkatein Asaram: Kunal Kamra releases parody song amid controversy
Mumbai: Comedian Kunal Kamra has released a new parody song, Hum Honge Kangaal, amid ongoing controversy over his video targeting Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde. The song, a satirical take on Hum Honge Kamyaab, includes lyrics such as "Mann mein Nathuram, harkatein Asaram, hum honge kangaal ek din," and depicts scenes of a mob burning his posters and vandalising The Habitat Club, where he had performed.
Kamra’s latest video comes after his earlier stand-up act, in which he called Shinde a "gaddar" and performed a parody song to the tune of Dil Toh Pagal Hai, sparked outrage from Shiv Sena supporters. Party workers protested outside The Habitat Club, damaged property, and filed complaints against Kamra at Khar and MIDC police stations.
Despite the backlash, Kamra has refused to apologize, stating, "It is not against the law to poke fun at leaders and the circus that is the political system." He also criticized the mob for vandalising the venue and reiterated that he would not be intimidated.

Man kills woman lecturer, sets car ablaze; dies by suicide in Karnataka
Bengaluru (PTI): A 46-year-old man allegedly killed a woman lecturer by setting fire to the car with her inside, before dying by suicide; his severed body was found by railway police the next day, police said on Tuesday.
The deceased, identified as Ramanjinappa, a resident of Doddaballapura, was a contract worker in the tahsildar’s office, they said.
Police said the man, who was married and had apparently separated from his wife, was in an illicit relationship with a woman identified as Saroja, whose charred body was found inside a gutted car in an isolated area near the Bashetty Industrial Area in Doddaballapura taluk on the outskirts of Bengaluru.
Saroja was also married and had a son, police said.
According to police, on Saturday, the man allegedly borrowed a car from an acquaintance, claiming he had a medical emergency and needed to visit a hospital.
Citing preliminary investigations, a senior police officer said the man picked up the lecturer from a bus stop in Devanahalli. The two spent a couple of hours driving around Nandi Hills and nearby areas.
Later, they reached a secluded spot in Doddaballapura, where it is suspected that an argument ensued inside the car, following which he allegedly hit her on the head with a hammer, the officer said.
He then set the car on fire, reportedly using petrol, and is believed to have died by suicide thereafter, police said.
Locals who saw the burning car alerted the police and fire department, who rushed to the spot, extinguished the fire, and found the woman’s body completely charred inside the vehicle, the officer added.
His severed body was found near railway tracks in Bidadi by the railway police on Sunday, he said.
The motive and whether the crime was premeditated or impulsive are under investigation, he said.
Saroja’s husband filed a complaint accusing Ramanjinappa of killing her, police said, adding that a detailed investigation is underway to establish the exact sequence of events.
