The verbal spat between the two on X started with a post in which the comedian made remarks about the service situation of Ola Electric's S1 series of EV scooters.

He shared a picture of dusty Ola scooters outside a dealership, hinting that the vehicles have been kept there for a long time and are awaiting service. “Do Indian consumers have a voice? Do they deserve this? Two wheelers are many daily wage workers' lifeline,” he wrote.

Tagging, Minister of Road Transport and Highways of India, Nitin Gadkari, Kamra further questioned, “Is this how Indians will get to using EV’s?” He concluded his post by tagging the official X profile of the Department of Consumer Affairs.

“I’ll pay you…”: War of words continues

The X post didn’t sit well with Bhavish Aggarwal, who lashed out at the comedian. “Since you care so much @kunalkamra88, come and help us out! I’ll even pay more than you earned for this paid tweet or from your failed comedy career,” Aggarwal wrote.

Kamra, in response, called the CEO an “arrogant, substandard pr*ck,” which led Aggarwal to post, “Chot lagi? Dard hua? Aaja service center. Bahut kaam hai. I will pay better than your flop shows pay you.”

The digital battle continued as Kamra accused the company of denying refunds for faulty vehicles. Aggarwal retorted, “Comedian ban na sake, chaudhary banne chale,” asking him to “do better research.”

What are your thoughts about this spat between Ola CEO and the comedian? Whose side are you on?
