Vir Das: The only judgement any joke deserves is whether it is funny, intelligent and original or not. Any other judgement is nonsense.

Kiku Sharda: I am completely opposed to the FIR. I understand that you do not appreciate my humour, that you find it offensive. But you can't arrest me for it.

Sunil Grover: Jo karte hain karne do. Jinko nahin dekhna mat dekho! Jail mein mat dalo. Freedom to express a thought zinda rehne do. Achcha bura jissko jo lage...Freedom ko matt roko.
