In a heart-to-heart tete-e-tete, Bharti talked about her life so far and shared how her mother gave birth to her in just Rs. 60. For the uninitiated, Bharti is one of the first female comedians who made a mark on television by cracking jokes on her own body.
Recently, on Debina Bonnerjee's show, Bharti revealed that when she got pregnant, she decided she wouldn't disturb anyone, as she had seen her mother, and she had never disturbed anyone. Bharti revealed that her mother was all alone when she gave birth to her. She only called dai mai to cut the umbilical cord for just Rs. 60. She said:

Bharti and Haarsh first met on the sets of Comedy Circus, where Bharti was one of the contestants and Haarsh was the scriptwriter. While it wasn't 'love at first sight', they felt connected when working together. In fact, when Haarsh expressed his love for her, Bharti didn't reply to him for three days. She was scared of what people would think about her. After Haarsh established himself in the showbiz, they tied the knot in 2017. The couple embraced parenthood with the arrival of their baby boy, Laksh, in 2022.
Sudesh Lahiri noticed Bharti Singh during her college days. However, it was Kapil Sharma who recognised her talent and asked her to audition for the show The Great India Laughter Challenge. While Bharti wasn't able to win the show, she left a great imprint on her fans' hearts with her character, 'Lalli'. After that, there wasn't any looking back, and Bharti became a popular host of every hit reality show.
