On Saturday, the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) arrested television comedian Bharti Singh for alleged possession and consumption of a banned drug (marijuana), after her homes were raided that morning. Around 86.50 gms of the banned drug (Marijuana), which is said to be of commercial quantity, was recovered from Bharti Singh and Haarsh Limbachiyaa's home in the raids and the duo has reportedly even confessed to consuming drugs. The NCB zeroed in the couple after a couple of drug peddlers, arrested in an ongoing action late on Friday, revealed the names of Bharti and Haarsh. A Mumbai Special Court on Sunday sent comedian Bharti Singh and her husband Harsh Limbachiya to 13 days judicial custody. Shortly after the order was pronounced sending them to judicial custody till December 4, the duo applied for bail which will be taken up for hearing on Monday. Bharti and Haarsh's colleagues and friends from the industry have reacted to this. In an interview with Hindustan Times, Karan Patel, Raju Srivastava, Iqbal Khan and others have reacted to this news.
Raju Srivastava spoke about this and said, "I have worked with Bharti a lot. I was surprised when I got know about her arrest first, and thought it's fake. 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. I was shocked and sad. This is like an allegation on our entire comedian fraternity, if we go to perform anywhere now, people will look at us with doubt lie 'Raju iss age mein bhi dhamaal kar raha hai', our numbers will get less." Iqbal Khan also spoke about it. He said, "I had worked with her on the finale episode of an action reality show a few years back and have bumped into her here and there. I think she is immensely talented. Having said that, I don't know much about the case, so, I would avoid commenting much. And, I would like to believe that it's not like after Bollywood, now TV is the next target. The idea is to clean the society of this drug menace and it has nothing to do with your profession or line of work. But I am against this hype and trial by a certain section of media around celebrities. I feel celebrities are an easy target."
Subuhii Joshi also expressed her views on this case. She said, "The news was quite shocking. I have worked with her in a comedy reality show. She is extremely talented. I think after Bollywood, now the focus is on TV industry. But not just in our industry, even outside drug is being consumed and I feel it's time the issue is being addressed. While our society needs to be cleansed of the drug threat, I also feel that the attention has now shifted from Sushant Singh Rajput's case from it all started. Some of those who were fighting for his justice seem to have moved on... I just hope amid all these we get a closure on Sushant's case too." Kasautii Zindagii Kay 2 actor Karan Patel also spoke about this. He said, "It was just one reality show that I did with her.I don't know anything else about her beyond that. It is strictly their personal business. I am not aware of what she does in her life. I do not want to comment on that much. I don't believe that it is a case of targeting TV industry next. Let the case take its own course is all that I would like to say."
Suresh Menon said, "There's a psyche in our country regarding consumption of drugs, and it's a personal choice if one wants to consume drugs and alcohol, I firmly believe none of these are good for health, and make physique weak. The news about Bharti was shocking, and I am not being prude shocked here ki 'aise kaise hua', it's like sad that years of reputation it's not worth it at the end of the day. Having said that, there's no need to look down upon her or condemn her for usage. It does not make her a bad person from any angle, or doesn't take away from her talent."
