Ever since the news of the arrest of comic actor Kiku Sharda aka Palak (from Comedy Nights With Kapil) has broken out, there has been an outpouring of support for the actor from the industry and outside. Kiku was arrested from the sets of the show on Wednesday. Post arrest, he was produced in a local court in Haryana which remanded him to a judicial custody of 14 days.
Responding to the arrest, his wife Priyanka Sharda said, “I am grateful to the team of Comedy Nights and all his industry friends who are standing by him and supporting him in this difficult time. Ever since I broke the news to our kids, they have been crying and I have been consoling them. Which religion tells you to do all this What has happened is very unfair. A person cannot exercise his right to freedom of expression. They have taken his phone. Since his arrest, I have had no conversation with him. I don’t wish to say anything more on this.”
Meanwhile, here’s what his friends had to say:
Kapil Sharma: I appeal to Gurmeet Ram Raheem Singh ji ‘Insaan’ to come in front of the media in regard to this matter and present a beautiful example of kindness by defending an actor, who only spreads happiness through his acting. Let’s work for peace and happiness together. (on Twitter)
Gaurav Gera: I was part of the show where Kiku mimicked the Dera Sach Sauda chief Baba Gurmeet Ram Rahim in one of his acts. Even though I did not see Kiku’s performance, I can clearly tell you it’s not his fault. He was only mouthing lines given to him by the channel. How can he alone be blamed We do so many gags on politicians and other actors, what if they also start getting offended The whole thing is pretty scary. What happened to Kiku is very unfair. Besides, what’s the point in blowing a small matter out of proportion Don’t Baba’s followers have better things to do Rithvik Dhanjani: Whatever is happening is bull****. Many have made fun of personalities like Shah Rukh Khan and Radhe Maa. Did they ever complain We are being caged for being creative. An actor does not perform on his own. If they have arrested Kiku, they should arrest all the people responsible for that particular act.
VIP: We say so many things to make people smile. At times we even make fun of ourselves. How can something that makes people laugh, be offensive
