Last evening, comedian Kunal Kamra and filmmaker Anurag Kashyap came up with an innovatove idea for crediting Arnab Goswami for all the great work he is doing in the field of journalism.
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…

They went to Republic TV’s office with actual framed chappals, with Arnab’s name written below. This was supposed to be an award for ‘excellence in journalism’.
Best birthday everrr .. उसने पूछा था , “किधर हूँ मैं ?” तो मैं गया । बोला बिना permission अलाउड नहीं है । यह @republic वालों को भी permission लेना चाहिए ना । https://t.co/I12Fdtpbu3

Now, of course they were denied entry inside the studio but it did get #chapalforarnab trending on Twitter. Here are some of the reactions:

He deserves chapal from every aspiring journalist who wants to unravel the truth but after watching such journalists who just try to overshadow the main topic with baseless debates. @RealArnab7 go learn something from @RAVISHkumar001 . And 2 chapal meri trf se #chapalforarnab
