Kiku Sharda rubbed the followers of Dera Sacha Sauda head
Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh the wrong way, when he mimicked the godman-turned-actor
in Zee TV's show Jashan-e-Umeed. Following his act the actor was arrested for
hurting pious sentiments of a few. He was later released on bail after
submitting a bond of Rs. 1 lakh but, he was rearrested by Haryana Police last
night and was released today.
However Kiku has apologized and has stated that he didn't
mean to spoof Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh, many Bollywood actors are disappointed
with his arrest and have come out in his support.
Here's what they have to say:
Sonakshi Sinha tweeted, “Someone imitates god - nothing.
Kiku imitates someone - gets arrested. This is wrong on SO many levels its not
even funny.”
Anurag Kashyap posted, “Gurmeet Ram Rahim insults the
sensibilities of anyone who is sixth class pass with his MSG films.. Why is he
not arrested???”
Huma Qureshi tweeted, “Living in the times where one can get
arrested for laughing lampooning and imitation .. will I get arrested for
tweeting next?”
Vir Das posted, “I don't see our leaders getting arrested
for behaving like comedians everyday.”
Vishal Dadlani, posted ”Heard @kikusharda 's been remanded
to judicial custody for mimicking RamRahim on TV! Absurd! RamRahim's 'films'
are the real joke, anyway!”
Rishi Kapoor tweeted, “See this picture!I would like to play
this rockstar in a film. Let me see who puts me behind bars? Go Kiku Sharda!”
Boman Irani posted, “First things first, If the man has
sincerely apologised could someone please put him out of his misery!!!”
