Karan Patel and Bharti Singh were seen together in ‘Khatron Ke Khiladi’. When asked to comment on Bharti’s involvement in the drugs case, Karan told Hindustan Times, “It was just one reality show that I did with her. I don’t know anything else about her beyond that. It is strictly their personal business. I am not aware of what she does in her life. I do not want to comment on that much. I don’t believe that it is a case of targeting TV industry next. Let the case take its own course is all that I would like to say.

Whereas actor Iqbal Khan said that celebrities are an easy target and since he doesn’t know much about the case, he would like to believe that it’s not like after Bollywood, TV industry is being made the next target. I had worked with her on the finale episode of an action reality show a few years back and have bumped into her here and there. I think she is immensely talented. Having said that, I don’t know much about the case, so, I would avoid commenting much. The idea is to clean the society of this drug menace and it has nothing to do with your profession or line of work. But I am against this hype and trial by a certain section of media around celebrities. I feel celebrities are an easy target,” Iqbal told HT.
