New Delhi: The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) arrested comedienne Bharti Singh and her husband Haarsh Limbachiyaa for allegedly possessing and consuming banned drug under various sections of the NDPS Act. While Bharti was arrested in November 21, her husband was nabbed by the agency on November 22 morning after a session of long interrogation. The couple was summoned by the NCB after conducting a raid at their premises from where 86.5 gms of cannabis was recovered. They were granted bail on a personal bond of Rs 15,000 each.

A lot of speculations have been doing rounds that Bharti has been dropped from ‘The Kapil Sharma Show’ by the channel. Reacting to this piece of information, the comedienne’s co-star from the show Krushna Abhishek told a leading daily, “Bilkul aisa nahi hai (Not at all). I haven’t heard of any such discussion or development from the channel’s end. No such decision has been taken by the channel. Even if something like this happens, I will support Bharti. She should get back to work. Jo ho gaya woh ho gaya (Whatever has happened, has happened). We stand by Bharti and both Kapil (Sharma) and I are with her. She has my unconditional support.”

When enquired why Bharti was not present during the shoot which took place on November 27, Krushna told TOI, “I think Bharti was unwell. She herself didn’t want to shoot or else she would have come. We are like family.”

Krushna further added that he stands by Bharti and their equation goes way beyond their profession. The comedian shared, ‘I met them soon after their release. We go back a long way. Our equation goes beyond our profession. I have seen Haarsh from his days of struggle. Bees saal ka aaya hua tha to write for ‘Comedy Circus’ (He joined ‘Comedy Circus’ as a writer at the age of 20). Mere saamne date karna shuru kiya tha dono ne (I have witnessed their friendship blossom into love) and I even hosted their wedding. Arti (Singh) ko chhod kar agar meri koi baahar sister hai jisko main proudly behen bolta hoon, toh woh Bharti hai (Bharti is the only one I proudly call my sister apart from my real sibling, Arti).”

Shocked and disappointed with Raju Srivastava’s comment on Bharti’s arrest, Krushna told the publication, “Raju Srivastava ne toh bohot hi bakwaas kee hai. What he said was shocking. Usne lifetime ke liye relationship kharaab kar liya hai sabke saath. Poori team hamaari naraaz hai usse for the comment he made (Team ‘TKSS’ is very upset with him).”

Comedian Raju Srivastava expressed his anger towards Bharti in an interview that took place soon after her arrest.
