After the news of Chaudhary quitting Zee News spread, Stand-Up-Comedian Kunal Kamra shared a video mocking Sudhir Chaudhary from his previous DNA show where he spoke about ‘benefits of Startup’.
Have a look at the video:
Sudhir Chaudhary was quick to react to Kamra’s video. Taking Kamra’s insulting video on a lighter note Chaudhary responded, “India’s first news start-up!” with a smiley emoji. Following Chaudhary’s response tweet, Kunal hits back to the anchor with a sharp tweet. Kamra tweeted, “India’s first entrepreneur with a diploma from Tihar University…”
Even before Chaudhary could recuperate from Kamra’s sustained attacks, he began to face mocking from social media users, who called him ‘Tihadi‘ in a bid to highlight his confession on camera of demanding Rs 100 crore from Jindal group.
Let us tell you that Sudhir Chaudhary and Ahluwalia were arrested in 2012 after a complaint by Jindal’s firm that they had demanded Rs 100 crore in lieu of not airing adverse news against the firm. Chaudhary and Ahluwalia were released on bail later.
