Explanation:

In short, when we switch off a branch, the remaining branch still forms a complete circuit with the battery, so electricity still pass through the remaining branch.

Technically speaking, the voltage in each branch is the same, and the resistance of the light bulb remains unchanged (neglect effect of temp.) by V=IR, the current should remain unchanged after switching off the other branch.
