Salman Khan vs. Kunal Kamra
In late March 2024, Kunal Kamra made jokes in one of his stand-up shows that referenced Salman Khan’s past legal troubles (such as the 1998 blackbuck poaching case and the 2002 hit-and-run case) and also touched upon Salman’s role as host of reality shows like Bigg Boss.
Kamra tweeted afterwards: "I am not a flying bird or a stationary footpath & I don’t apologise for jokes anymore…"
Media reports suggested Salman might file a defamation suit against Kamra.
According to later clarifications, Salman decided not to file suit, citing that suing every critic or joke-maker would be impractical.
