Bharti Singh played the character of ‘Lalli’ as a comedian, which gained her immense popularity. Later, Bharti not only did dance reality shows like ‘Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa’, but she is also a popular TV host. Bharti is not only a comedian but also a businesswoman. He also has a mineral water factory in Amritsar. Today Bharti has everything that she never even dreamed of, but once she was in extreme poverty.
‘Seen a lot of poverty, my mother used to stitch dupattas’
Recalling those days of poverty, Bharti Singh told Neena Gupta, ‘My focus has always been on poverty. I was 2 years old when my father passed away. My brothers and sisters lost their jobs. He used to work in a factory. His job was to carry heavy blankets. We can never use blankets. He used to sit at night and sew. Sometimes my mother used to sew a scarf. I still hate the smell of those blankets and those machines. My family and I have seen a lot of poverty. Just don’t want to watch anymore. If you do a background check, you will find that most of the comedians have been poor. You can’t do comedy when you’re rich.
‘Mother used to clean toilets, people used to give stale food’
Bharti Singh further said, ‘You cannot imagine how much poverty I have seen. I used to see someone throwing away half an apple after eating it, so I used to think that he would get cursed because he wasted the food. Sometimes I used to think that I should pick up half the thrown apple and eat it. When my mother worked in people’s homes, I used to sit near the door. She used to clean the toilets. When we used to go, people used to give us the leftover food. Their leftover stale food used to become our fresh food. Today I tell my mother that whatever I have done and whatever I have earned is because of you.
Talking about Bharti Singh and paparazzi, you will not be able to stop laughing
Kapil Sharma and Sudesh Lahiri changed life
But Bharti Singh’s luck changed with ‘The Great Indian Laughter Challenge’. But before coming in this, he was given the first chance by Kapil Sharma and Sudesh Lahiri. Bharti Singh told that once in college when she was making people laugh in the garden area, Sudesh Lahiri saw her. Then he asked the teacher to call a fat girl who is making the students laugh. Just from there Bharti Singh got a chance. Bharti had previously performed at the National Youth Festival, for which she had gone to Andhra Pradesh with the team.
