Recently we heard the news that comedian Bharti Singh and her husband Haarsh Limbachiyaa got arrested by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB). The couple was arrested for consuming drugs. They also accepted that they consume cannabis (gaanja). This was revealed by NCB. On Saturday, NCB raided the production office and house of Bharti. From both places, police recovered 86.5 gm of ganja. To this, Hindustan Times reached out to her colleagues from the TV industry. They were shocked with the news of the recent development in this drug probe which had earlier left the Bollywood industry in tremor.
Bharti Singh & Her Husband Arrested by NCB | T.V. Colleagues Express Shock
Raju Srivastava: The comedian said that he has worked with Bharti a lot and when he first learnt about Bharti’s arrest he took it to be fake. He said, “Then when news channels contacted me, I said maybe a drug peddler named Bharti to implicate her, but then I was told she has confessed.” This shocked and saddened him. He feels this is like an allegation on the entire comedian fraternity. In addition, he thinks that people will now look at him with suspicious eyes.
Iqbal Khan: Iqbal thinks Bharti is immensely talented. However, he does not know much about the case and would chose not to comment on the same. He added, “I would like to believe that it’s not like after Bollywood, now TV is the next target.” Khan thinks celebrities are an easy target.
Subuhii Joshi: Just like Iqbal, even Subuhii thinks Bharti is very talented. She also believes after Bollywood, not TV industry is the focus. She feels now all the attention has shifted away from Sushant Singh Rajput’s case, from where it all started. Joshi added, “I just hope amid all these we get a closure on Sushant’s case too.”
Karan Patel: While Joshi thinks TV industry is being targeted, Karan said, “I don’t believe that it is a case of targeting TV industry next.” He said he does know anything else about Bharti other than the one reality show they worked for together. Karan would want the case to take its own course.
