Soon after this, Kamra was trolled by many. He received flak for his comment.?

"This Kamra is deliberately diverging from the point raised Tanmay Bhatt did not face opposition for his ideology, political or otherwise but because he was normalising pedophilia as comedy Maybe this Kamra also believes the same about it," a comment read.?

"I have used to like Tanmay’s comedy but sometime he does crosses the limit. I remember attending his sketch in Pune (High Spirits in 2012). He made really bad joke about Shiva and Parvaty. That day itself i knew he is going to get into trouble," another tweet read.?

"It's a sad day for comedy when the only thing comedians are willing to stand up for is Tanmay Bhatt. I guess 'comedy of the oppressed' isn't so funny after all."
