Comedy is meant to be irreverent, & to take the mickey out of EVERYTHING! Seems like we're going full-medieval in India, though! #FreeKiku Comedy brings joy ), unites people in laughter! Religious-leaders prey on the insecurity of 'followers', are a blight on humanity! #FreeKiku"

Anurag Kashyap: "Gurmeet Ram Rahim insults the sensibilities of anyone who is sixth class pass with his MSG films.. Why is he not arrested??? Really the man who has to call himself Insaan to prove he is maybe a human, is of such weak disposition that he gets a comic arrested.. This arrest of Kiku Sharda , the way it happened, and for reasons that it did is the really the rock bottom of democracy.."

Mini Mathur: "Again..We are so easy to offend. This is a comedy show for f*^@s sake!! It's MEANT to show us the lighter side. Oof! The agenda is to systemically silence all opinion & free speech. So no one can question anything anymore. Can't everyone see it? #KikuSharda Poor @kikusharda was doing his job. One that he is great at. Funny no one arrests him when he takes the piss out of actors. Oh wait.."
