Comic nails Nikhil Kamath podcast spoof, leaves even the Zerodha billionaire in splits
Nikhil Kamath
, co-founder of
Zerodha
and host of the widely viewed
WTF is
podcast, found himself chuckling at an eerily accurate—and hilariously exaggerated—impression of his signature deep-toned, meandering question style. The mastermind behind the mimicry? Content creator
Rohit Raghvendra
, who uploaded a video to Instagram on Thursday, perfectly capturing Kamath's calm cadence and philosophical curiosity that usually fills his over-two-hour-long podcast episodes.
Fancy Food, Existential Questions, and a Viral Reel
Raghvendra's skit cleverly leaned into what viewers have come to love (and sometimes chuckle at) in Kamath's show: profound questions paired with gourmet dining. Mimicking Kamath's relaxed tone and reflective body language, Raghvendra served questions like, 'What's your advice to someone who went viral for slapping their brother in a Rakshabandhan reel but now wants to start a meditation podcast?' The satire landed with a punch, echoing Kamath's signature style of digging deep into the psyche of creators, entrepreneurs, and even policymakers—with a mouthful of artisanal food in tow.
Even the caption of the post packed a comic jibe, it read- "You cant ask such intense questions while also serving me some fancy food, I can only focus on one thing 🙏🏽"

'This is not a real gun, pu**y,': HasanAbi trolls critics after facing backlash over toy gun controversy
(Image via @hasanthehun & @dancantstream/X) Popular Twitch streamer and political commentator HasanAbi is back in the headlines, but not for the first time, and definitely not for the last. He is at the center of a heated controversy after flashing a toy gun on stream in response to a death threat. While some called it reckless, Hasan's clapback? 'Soy right is f**king crying about it.' Let's break down what really happened. The Stream That Sparked It All On July 3, 2025, HasanAbi was live when a viewer allegedly sent a threat saying they wanted to 'hang' him. In response, Hasan sarcastically raised a toy gun, threw out a 'good luck,' and moved on. But Hasan quickly clarified: it wasn't real. It wasn't serious. And it definitely wasn't a threat. 'This Is Not a Real Gun, Pu**y' In his very next stream, Hasan was blunt. 'This is not a real gun… pu**y,' he said, holding up the plastic weapon again to prove his point. He explained it was sarcasm and a dark, ironic response to constant death threats. His exact words? 'I say 'good luck' and now the soy right is f**king crying about it… I can't even have a little bit of fun with it?' H by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like [Click Here] 2025 Top Trending local enterprise accounting software Esseps Learn More Undo e didn't backpedal. He doubled down. Hasan insisted that waving a toy gun in jest is miles apart from real threats or doxxing, especially when you're on the receiving end of hate daily. The MoistCr1TiKaL Comparison To highlight the double standard, Hasan brought up MoistCr1TiKaL's 2023 viral video during his feud with Sneako. Back then, Moist casually held two real guns on camera while dismantling Sneako's arguments. But during his time, the internet cheered and he was praised as an epic takedown. So when Hasan brandishes a toy, and the same crowd calls for a ban? Here's what Hassan said: 'Every single person that masturb**ed when MoistCr1TiKaL did the exact same thing, is now going, 'this guy needs to be banned immediately....'' The hypocrisy, according to Hasan, is crystal clear and political. Not His First Rodeo HasanAbi is no stranger to controversy. From calling out 'psychotic MAGA lawyers' to clashing with conservative creators, he's built a platform that thrives on debate and dissent. But this time, the backlash hit differently, with accusations ranging from doxxing to promoting gun culture. HasanAbi's latest controversy is less about props and more about double standards. While the 'soy right' fumes online, Hasan? He's already moved on and is laughing about it.
