Amid the Kunal Kamra row gaining momentum, filmmaker Hansal Mehta recalled a similar incident he faced 25 years ago in Mumbai. The filmmaker said he was assaulted and made to publicly apologize by the 'same political party' that has now attacked Kamra for his recent comedy special posted on YouTube.

Hansal Mehta,  known for films like Shahid, Citylights, and the series Scam 1992, recounted a similar experience from 25 years ago when members of the political party Shiv Sena (then undivided) vandalized his office and forcefully made him apologize to an elderly woman for a single line of dialogue in his film.
