He captioned the image: “Sorry for not being sorry.”
The comedian had shared a video on Twitter where he could be heard asking his co-passenger Arnab Goswami, “Viewers today want to know if Arnab is a coward or a nationalist.
Arnab, this is for the national interest. I am part of the tukde-tukde narrative.
You should deflate me. You should take the enemy of the states down.”
