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.
