Jaya Bachchan also reacted to the controversy and vandalism of the comedy club in Mumbai. She was seen speaking to the ANI, “If there is a restriction on speaking, what will become of you? You are anyway in a bad situation. There are restrictions on you. You would be told to speak just on this and nothing else, that do not interview Jaya Bachchan.”

She questioned the state of freedom of speech, pointing out that it seems to exist only when there is chaos—when violence is inflicted on the opposition, and when horrific acts like rape and murder occur. She further criticized Eknath Shinde, saying that by leaving his original party to form another one in pursuit of power, he had disrespected the legacy of Balasaheb Thackeray.
Several other political heavyweights, including Shiv Sena (UBT) MPs, have spoken out to protect Kunal’s freedom of expression and condemn the actions of individuals who trashed the Mumbai venue where his show was filmed. Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Arvind Sawant defended Kunal, claiming that every remark the comedian made in his comedy special, Naya Bharat, was correct.
