Speaking to the media for the first time since the ‘I Come From Two Indias’ controversy, stand-up comedian Vir Das said that he has made his country laugh for ten years now and hopes to continue writing love letters to India. Das is currently in New York for the International Emmy Awards 2021, where he has been nominated in the Comedy section for his Netflix special ‘Vir Das For India’.His recent act, which was put out on YouTube, ‘I Come From Two Indias’ landed the comedian in trouble, with two complaints in Delhi and Mumbai lodged against him. While actor Kangana Ranaut called him a ‘criminal’ for his comments, stating it was “soft terrorism”, the comedian drew support from the likes of Kapil Sibal and Shashi Tharoor. He added that he has also received a humbling amount of love for the performance, stating that as an artiste you receive all kinds of feedback. Responding to Madhya Pradesh Home Minister Narottam Mishra refusing to let him perform in the state hereon, Das said, I will have to cross those bridges when we come to them, humbly.
