Actor Kiku Sharda who became a household name after essaying the role of Palak on Colors TV's popular show Comedy Nights with Kapil, has landed himself in trouble.

The issue saw the light after the December 27, 2015 episode of Comedy Nights with Kapil was aired on television. PTI reports, that the episode had Sharda mimic the sect head of Sirsa headquartered Dera Sacha Sauda, Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh-- something that didn't go down too well with his followers, leading them to file an official police case against the actor.

The actor has been booked under section 295 A of the Indian Penal Code (outraging religious feelings of any class by insulting it's religion or religious belief), something that Sharda had already apologised for a few days back. He'd tweeted saying, " Dosto the act on TV was not to hurt anyone's feelings. My apologies to @Gurmeetramrahim ji and his followers. Let's spread happiness." But the apology was rendered useless as the Dera followers continued protesting against the actor who has(ironically) also been a part of popular television show, FIR.
