<p>Actor Kiku Sharda, who was arrested for impersonating godman Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh, believes that it was incorrect to "solely" blame him for the act.<br /><br /></p>.<p>"It was a dance performance. We had a choreographer. If we knew it's going to hurt sentiments, it could have been avoided. Maybe my knowledge was less, I wasn't sure that it would become this big. It could've been shot and edited. Why should I be solely blamed?" Kiku said in an interview to news channel CNN IBN.<br /><br />Kiku was booked and arrested by Haryana Police following a complaint that he spoofed Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh of Dera Sacha Sauda sect. He was sent to 14 days' judicial custody on Wednesday by a court in Haryana's Kaithal town, hours after his arrest here.<br /><br />The "Comedy Nights With Kapil" star was on Wednesday evening released on a surety bond of Rs.1 lakh by the Kaithal court. However, he was arrested again by Haryana Police, this time from Fatehabad district (near Hisar), for the same offence.<br /><br />He is likely to be presented before a Fatehabad court on Thursday. The actor feels if he had received the court summons in advance, "things would have been different".<br /><br />"On the day of my shoot in Mumbai, where I was shooting for 'Comedy Nights With Kapil'...the cops come and tell me that there is a warrant and we need to move and go to another city in another state so, that is too sudden and harsh. If I had received the summons before, things would have been different," he said.<br /><br />Kiku was accused by sect follower Uday Singh of dressing up like Gurmeet Ram Rahim and mimicking the self-proclaimed godman.<br /><br />"In the show ('Jashn-E-Ummeed'), he (Kiku) was shown dressed up like our respected guruji. He was shown with liquor and dancing with two girls. He did a mockery of guruji. Whosoever saw it, their feelings were hurt," Uday Singh told media persons. <br /><br />The show, in which Kiku dressed up like the sect chief, was aired on December 27.</p>
