Even after apologizing for the remark on beard and mustache, comedian Bharti Singh’s troubles are not taking the name of lessening. Bharti Singh had apologized for his remarks going live on social media, but on the complaint of Shiromani Gurdwara Prabandhak Committee (SGPC) and Guru Ravidas Tiger Force Punjab (GRTFP), two cases have been registered against him in Amritsar and Jalandhar. .
It is worth noting that two days ago a video of Bharti Singh went viral. While giving an interview to a TV channel, Bharti Singh had commented on beard and mustache. He had said that why should not beard and mustache? After drinking milk, put the beard in the mouth, then the test of vermicelli comes.
Bharti Singh did not stop at this only. She further said that many of her friends have been married and she is now busy in removing the yoke from the beard and mustache. After this video went viral, the Sikh community protested against him. People said that Bharti grew up in Punjab, yet she used such terminology for the Sikh symbol.
