In what seems to be adding fuel to fire, film director, Anurag Kashyap, and comedian Kunal Kamra paid a visit to Republic TV Managing Director and Editor-In-Chief, Arnab Goswami to present the award for ‘excellence in journalism’ on Thursday.

Taking a jibe at Goswami, Anurag Kashyap shared that he and Kunal Kamra went to see Goswami, but were not allowed without prior permission. They had a ‘chappal’ framed as an award for Goswami.

Comedian Kunal Kamra doesn’t share a good relationship with the Republic TV MD after videos of the comedian questioning Arnab Goswami in a flight surfaced on the internet. He took to social media and shared the picture oustside Arnab's office and wrote, "Birthday boy @anuragkashyap72 & me went to the @republic’s office to give Arnab an excellence in journalism award... Republic security said bina permission ke allowed nahi hai..."
