Bharti and Haarsh were granted bail by a Special NDPS court after hearing their bail pleas in November 2020. The NCB had arrested Bharti and her husband on November 21, 2020, following the seizure of ganja (cannabis) from their house in suburban Andheri. NCB had reportedly recovered 86.5 gm of ganja during the search. Acting on a tip-off, the NCB had conducted a search at Bharti’s office and residence as part of its probe into the alleged drug use in Bollywood.
Bharti and Haarsh are a popular celebrity couple. They have hosted several reality shows together. Bharti is currently the host of a singing reality show, Sa Re Ga Ma Pa L’il Champs 2022. Both Bharti and Haarsh were earlier hosts of another show, Hunarbaaz: Desh Ki Shaan. They welcomed their first child, a baby boy, together earlier this year.
The NCB has been probing the alleged drug use in Bollywood after the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput in June 2020 on the basis of WhatsApp chats involving drugs.
