Lending solidarity to comedian Kunal Kamra, filmmaker Anurag Kashyap decided not to fly with IndiGo airlines and chose Vistara instead, reports The Hindu.
On Monday (3 February) Kashyap tweeted, “No @IndiGo6E.. on @airvistara .. in solidarity with @kunalkamra88.”
As per reports, Kashyap was attending a event in Kolkata, and the organisers had booked an IndiGo flight ticket for him. He reportedly declined to take the booked flight with the said airline to show support for Kunal Kamra.
Notably, Kamra was banner from our airlines including IndiGo, Air India, GoAir and SpiceJet. Kamra was banned after his in-flight encounter with news anchor Arnab Goswami.
The controversy began after Kamra uploaded a video of him harassing Arnab Goswami mid-air on an IndiGo Mumbai to Lucknow flight. He is also said to have abused and threatened the senior journalist.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
