In India, Bharti Singh is a well-known comedian and host. She was one of the first women to perform stand-up comedy and become famous for it. She is currently one of the highest-paid celebrities on Indian television. She recently disclosed that her mother had tried to have her aborted.
Mother of Bharti attempted to abort her
Bharti Singh is the third child of her parents. Recalling her early days during a podcast with Raj Shamani, the comedienne revealed, “I was the third child. My father worked at a factory, and my mother was a housewife. They already had two kids. Pehle toh pata hi nahi chalta tha ki arre main pregnant ho gayi. She found out two to three months later.”
She recalled, “Phir meri mummy ne itni saari jadibutiyaan baba logon se milke khaayi, paer ke bal baith ke poche maare, garam cheez-papita, khajur-kha liya ki yeh rahe na. But I had to come. My mother gave birth to me on her own. She was alone at home, and my father had a night duty.”
“She gave birth to me alone, just called a dai to cut the cord, who took Rs 60. Main Rs 60 main hui hoon. Main Rs 60 ka bachcha hoon. Aur aaj dekha maine mummy ko Rs 1.60 crore ka ghar le kar diya hai. Yes, I was an unwanted child. They had a boy and a girl, and they thought that was enough because who would raise the child? But they gave me a lot of love,” Bharti Singh said.
In 2018, Bharti Singh had already discussed this in an interview on Rajeev Khandelwal’s JuzzBaatt. She said her mother loved her and constantly encouraged her to pursue her job, even if she had initially wanted to abort her. She added that after her father passed away, her mother reared her and her siblings alone.
Bharti calls her son Gola, which is an odd combination
Bharti, who has a kid named Gola, claimed in the same podcast that he is an odd blend of her Punjabi heritage and her spouse Haarsh Limbachiyaa’s Gujarati heritage. She shared her own experience and advised against Gujarati and Punjabi couples having children together.
“Nahi karni chahiye kyuki unka bachcha bada kharab nikalta hai. Humara bachcha na… ab tak humare teen phone balti main ja chuke hain pani main. Kayi cheezein, mugs, towel, Haarsh ke kachche padosiyon ke ghar uda deta hai voh. Bohot zyada mujhe aisa lagta hai ki… pata nahi saare aise hi shararati hote hain, humara toh pehla hi hai. Bohot zyada shararati hai.”
She added, “Mujhe aisa lagta hai yeh combination kuch ajeeb nahi ho gaya, ghee aur dhokle ka? Thoda ajeeb sa ho gaya hai. Main toh kitna bolti hoon, vlog pe bhi bola hai kayi baar, ki agar kisi Gujarati aur Punjabi ko pyaar ho raha hai toh pehli hi soch lo kyuki humara bachcha aisa hai.”
