Bharti
Singh
has
landed
in
legal
trouble
as
an
FIR
has
been
filed
against
the
comedienne
for
hurting
the
sentiments
of
the
members
of
the
Sikh
community
with
a
joke
on
moustaches
and
beards,
in
an
old
video.
As
per
ETimes
TV
report,
the
complaint
was
registered
by
Ravidas
Tiger
Force
chief
Jassi
Tallan
at
Adampur
Police
Station
in
Jalandhar
against
Bharti
Singh.
Apparently,
she
has
been
charged
under
Section
295-A
(deliberate
and
malicious
acts,
intended
to
outrage
religious
feelings)
of
the
Indian
Penal
Code.
In
an
old
video,
because
of
which
the
actress-comedienne
has
got
into
trouble,
Bharti
can
be
seen
saying,
"Dhadhi
mooch
kyu
nahi
chahiye.
Dhadhi
mooch
ke
bade
fayede
hote
hain.
Dudh
piyo,
aise
dhadi
munh
mein
daalo,
sewaiyon
ka
taste
aata
hai.
Mere
kaafi
friends
logo
ki
shaadi
hui
hai
na,
jinki
itni
itni
dhaadi
hai,
saara
din
dhadi
mein
se
jue
nikalti
rehti
hai
(what's
wrong
with
beards
and
moustaches,
they
have
many
benefits.
Drink
milk,
and
then
put
the
beard
in
your
mouth,
it
will
taste
like
sewaiyaan.
Many
of
my
friends
have
gotten
married
to
men
with
long
beards,
and
spend
the
entire
day
removing
lice
from
them)." The
video
also
had
Jasmin
Bhasin
in
it.
Apparently,
after
the
video
went
viral,
protests
against
her
took
place
in
Amritsar
by
various
Sikh
groups,
who
claimed
that
she
has
disrespected
the
beard
that
Sikh
men
maintain
as
part
of
their
religious
beliefs.
Meanwhile,
Bharti
had
taken
to
her
Instagram
account
to
apologise
for
her
statements.
She
spoke
in
Punjabi
and
apologised
with
folded
hands.
She
said
that
in
the
video
(old
video)
she
never
mentioned
any
caste
or
religion.
She
said
that
she
is
a
Punjabi
herself,
born
in
Amritsar
and
will
always
keep
Punjab's
honour.
She
concluded
by
saying
that
she
is
proud
Punjabi.
Bharti
captioned
the
apology
video
by
mentioning
that
she
performs
comedy
to
make
people
happy
and
not
to
hurt
anyone.
She
continued
with
an
apology
that
if
at
all
anyone
is
hurt
by
her
words,
forgive
her
thinking
of
her
as
their
sister.
