This is truly ridiculous!
Comedian Kiku Sharda was arrested recently for allegedly hurting the religious sentiments of a group by mimicking Dera Sacha Sauda head Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh Insaan on Comedy Nights With Kapil. Thankfully he’s been granted bail, but he had to pay a personal bond of Rs. 1 lakh!
About the arrest, Kiku said:
I’m an artist who is given a role, a get-up and told what to do. I’ve already apologised. I did not mean to hurt anyone’s religious sentiments. I am sorry, I was just following a script. Usually, if an objectionable word comes out while performing, it’s edited by the channel. This is also the channel’s responsibility.
He’s been forgiven by the Godman though *rolls eyes*:
