Is Bharti Singh no more a part of 'The Kapil Sharma Show'? Kiku Sharda responds

Soon after Bharti Singh was granted bail after getting arrested for the possession of drugs, reports were making the rounds that the comedienne will no more be a part of The Kapil Sharma Show. She also didn't make it to the sets for the shooting of the recent episodes, which fuelled the rumours. It was also said that the channel wants Bharti to be out of the show and Kapil Sharma is against the decision.

During an interaction with ETimes, Kiku Sharda, who is also a part of The Kapil Sharma Show was asked about these rumours. He stated, "We shot yesterday, and she wasn’t there at the shoot. But that’s quite normal as she doesn’t shoot with us for every episode."

Kiku shared further details by saying, "In fact, I haven't heard of any talk of her not being a part of the show. She just wasn’t there yesterday at the shoot and that’s about it."

Bharti Singh and husband Haarsh Limbachiyaa who were arrested by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) for alleged possession of cannabis, were on November 22 sent to judicial custody till December 4 by a Mumbai Court. Singh was held on November 21 while Limbachiyaa was arrested the very next day.

The NCB had raided the production office and house of comedian Bharti Singh and recovered 86.5 grams of ganja (cannabis) from both places.

A special (Narcotics) court in Mumbai on November 23 granted bail to Bharti and Haarsh in connection with a drugs case.

"Both of them have been granted bail by the court on furnishing a bail bond of Rs 15,000 each. No reply was filed by the NCB yet. A notice was issued to them on Sunday itself," advocate Ayaz Khan, Singh's lawyer had told IANS.
