Bharti Singh is one of the well-known comedians in the country. The child character ‘Lalli’ kickstarted her career. Before that, she used to do several stand-up comedy shows. The comedian recently appeared on the podcast show of Maniesh Paul and made some heartbreaking revelations.
She said that she was touched inappropriately by the coordinators of a show. At that time, she didn’t dare to open up and speak against it. Also, she didn’t know what was right and wrong.
“The coordinators ( of shows) misbehaved sometimes. They would rub their hands on the back. I would know it’s not a good feeling, but then I would think that he’s like my uncle, he can’t be bad. Maybe I am wrong and he is right. So I thought this doesn’t feel right. I had no understanding. I have the confidence to fight now, for my body, for my honor. I can now say ‘what is the matter, what are you looking at, go out we are changing now’. I can speak up now, but I had no courage back then,” she said.
Bharti also talked about the poverty she had to face during her childhood and also how her father used to misbehave with her mother. She said, “Ghar jaane ka mann nahi karta tha (I didn’t feel like going home). I would stay in college with my friends, and eat at the hostel. I knew once I go back, I would have to face poverty. Live in that dim light.”
Bharti also stated that her brother used to sell goods at a shop while her sister and mother used to sew blankets at a factory. Even today, her family hasn’t accustomed to the lavish lifestyle that she can afford.
Bharti will be soon seen in the new season of ‘The Kapil Sharma Show.’
