Hardeep Singh Career

After completing his education, Hardeep Singh Kohli ventured into the media world through the BBC Scotland graduate production trainee scheme. He showcased his skills as a director in various capacities, from children’s TV at BBC Television Centre in London to Youth and Entertainment Features in Manchester, where he became a series director for Janet Street-Porter’s program, Reportage. Notably, Kohli directed the award-winning children’s TV show “It’ll Never Work.”

He embarked on an independent career in 1996, directing commercials, participating in TV development, and occasionally contributing to BBC Radio 5 Live. He created, directed, and starred in Channel 4’s “Meet the Magoons” in 2004, although the show received lukewarm responses from critics and audiences alike. Kohli continued his diverse television journey, participating in reality shows like Celebrity MasterChef and making appearances on panel shows such as “Question Time.”

Kohli extended his talents to the radio domain, hosting and presenting numerous programs on BBC Radio 4. His works include “Hippy Trail,” “Where Scotland Meets England,” and “Where England Meets Wales.” He also contributed to BBC Radio 2’s “Great British Faith,” a series exploring the spiritual life and history of British cities.

As a journalist, Kohli penned columns for Scotland on Sunday and contributed to notable publications like The Guardian, The Observer, GQ magazine, Metro, The Spectator, and The Independent. His prowess in journalism further expanded into travel writing, exemplified by his contributions to High Life Magazine for British Airways.

Kohli faced legal issues, including an incident involving driving without a license and subsequently being fined in 2019. Moreover, his personal life took a significant hit when he was accused of sexual harassment by multiple women in 2020. The allegations, including claims of inappropriate behavior towards fellow performers, deeply affected his reputation.

Subsequent to the allegations, Kohli made a public statement acknowledging his actions and their impact on women, offering an unreserved apology. These accusations cast a shadow over his career and persona.

The cloud of controversy surrounding Kohli intensified when he was arrested and charged in connection with “non-recent” sexual offenses on 9 August 2023. The arrest followed an investigation conducted by The Times in 2020, where concerns about Kohli’s behavior were raised.

Apart from his media career, Kohli actively engaged in the political realm, supporting the “Yes” campaign during the 2014 Scottish independence referendum. His commitment led him to join the Scottish National Party in November 2014.
