We
had
earlier
reported
that
Kiku
Sharda,
who
played
Palak
on
Comedy
Nights
With
Kapil,
was
arrested
for
hurting
the
religious
sentiments.
Now,
the
comedian-actor
has
been
sent
to
14
days
judicial
custody
in
Kaithal,
Haryana.
Gurmeet
Ram
Rahim
Singh's
followers
had
filed
a
case
against
Kiku,
after
he
mimicked
the
self-proclaimed
godman
in
an
episode
of
CNWK
which
was
aired
on
27th
December,
2015.
As
soon
as
the
news
of
arrest
was
announced,
people
took
to
Twitter
to
support
Kiku.

Kiku

charges
of

than

crore
people!!
#KikuDekhHaryanaKiKick
Speaking
about
the
incident,
Kiku
said
in
an
interview,
"I
am
an
actor
and
the
actor
is
given
a
script
and
clothes
by
the
makers
and
will
be
instructed
to
act
accordingly.
As
an
actor,
I
had
fulfilled
my
duties.
I
never
realised
that
the
look
will
hurt
anybody's
religious
sentiments.
And
if
this
has
happened,
mistakenly,
I
have
apologised
before,
and
now
again
I'm
apologising."
He
further
added,
"I
don't
want
my
work
to
harm
anybody
in
any
way.
I
have
been
in
the
industry
for
13
years
and
my
work
is
to
make
people
laugh,
and
I
have
been
doing
the
same
thing.
I
just
want
people
to
be
happy
with
me."
Kiku
continued,
"I
had
accepted
the
look
that
was
given
to
me,
and
I
never
said
no
to
any
acts.
We
are
religious
families,
and
I
respect
all
saints/babas."
While
many
celebrities
and
fans
have
come
in
support
of
Kiku,
there
are
a
few
followers
of
Gurmeet
Ram
Rahim
Singh,
who
have
appreciated
the
legal
action.
Here
are
a
few

supported
Kiku.
