Kamra didn’t hold back as he questioned Allahbadia’s public image and intent. Urging him to accept responsibility, he stated, “You’re a contraceptive for creativity, stop milking this & go back to what you do best which is being a hurdle for upward social change while FraudCasting & clout chasing (sic).”
