Kiku Sharda has pleaded innocence by saying that he had acted in accordance to demands of the show and its script. "I'm a god-fearing man. It is my job to make people laugh. It wasn't my intention to hurt anyone, Why should I want to offend anyone? I'm really, really sorry, " the actor said in an interview to Times Now.
The actor also tweeted his apology and said the act wasn't intentional. The act was not planned as a spoof but was just a coincidence.
The Haryana police had booked Kiku Sharda in a case registered against him at Kaithal's city police station. The case was registered after Dera followers accused Sharda of showing their temporal head in bad light. Dera followers said that Kiku had performed an act on the lines of Gurmeet Ram Rahim's role in film MSG. Kiku was purportedly seen on the show dancing with girls and flaunting liquor bottles.
