Raj Shamani
I was reading somewhere that you touched someone inappropriately
Then when he held me tightly, I slapped him Even if my hands kept shaking
Your mom wanted to abort you?
Yes
My mom found so many herbs But she called a doctor to cut the cord He took 60 rupees I was in 60 rupees And today I saw her mom With a house worth 1 crore 60
Today's guest is Bharti Singh Who made the whole of India laugh with her comedy. She was only 2 years old when she lost her father. How did her mom raise her with financial struggles? Today we will learn from her why she still has anxiety before going on stage. How does she deal with trolls?
And how did her personal life change after getting success?
Have you ever felt that people laugh at my jokes or my body? They laugh at both. Because I...
I have always had that squeaky voice.
I used to love Harsh too. Oh my God, he looks so tiny. Give me a kiss. He also starts feeling ticklish.
Are you scared of being alone?
I am very scared of being alone. Because I have always been in a crowd. Today, Harsh will come at 2 am, I will stay awake till 2 am. Even though everyone is at home, but I cannot stay alone. One such thing that people don't understand about Bhartiya. People think that I... Before moving ahead, subscribe to this channel
so that we can continue to make more insightful and better podcasts for you. My father used to work in a factory, my mother was a housewife. We had two kids. Earlier, I didn't even know that I was pregnant. I found out after 2-3 months. Then my mother took so many herbs, ate them with Baba Bobo, sat on her feet and wiped them,
ate papaya, dates, everything. And I had to come. And my mother gave birth to me. My mother was alone at home. My my mother gave birth to me. My mother was alone at home.
It was my father's duty at night. So she gave birth to me alone. But to cut the cord, she called a doctor who took 60 rupees. I am in 60 rupees. I am a 60 rupee child.
Wow.
And today, did you see my mother? She took me to a house worth 1 crore 60. I don't know, I mean... Yes, I was an unwanted child. I didn't want to. Because I was a boy and a girl.
They used to say that two good kids, one boy and one girl. Don't do the third one. Who will raise you? But I did. After that, they gave me a lot of love.
When I got a call, and we didn't even have a phone at home. We got a call from our neighbors on the landline. So, there's a production house, Endemol. My mom said, someone from Bombay is calling to sell eggs. They want to call you. I said, what?
What are you saying? She said, I don't understand. That girl speaks a lot of English. So, I said, I'll listen to the call when he comes. I asked him what is a production house? He said he didn't know what a production house was. I told him that we make shows like Laughter Challenge, Kapil Sharma's show and Sudesh Lehri's show.
He said he wanted to take me in that show. I thought he would say come and get me dressed for that show. I told him that I can't come, I study in college. He said he would call his mother too. How will you come? Tell us. Which date? They are riding on a horse.
How many people will come? Tell us. Send us your bio data. Okay, I will send you PNR number on your phone. I didn't even know PNR number. So, I went to college.
My sports teachers were there. I told them, Ma'am, what is PNR number was. I told him it was for both train and flight. I told him I gave him my number. When I got my number, it was Kingfisher's PNR number. He asked me if I had a flight. I told him I had a flight.
Because Raj, we are those people who had a room, a kitchen and a bathroom. We slept on the roof. I saw so many planes flying from the roof. So many. I used to lie. Someone said hi to me from above.
Someone did this to me. That time came when I was about to board the flight. You can't believe it. I still have goosebumps. When my mother and I went to the airport, we didn't even take a trolley.
We thought we would need money for that. Maybe we have to keep our luggage on it. So we were pulling our bags. Someone said, take a trolley with us in Punjab. We said, we don't have any open money. It's free. So we kept it and went ahead. We thought we would get train tickets,
third class tickets. We got such a big boarding pass. We got on the flight. We didn't get a trolley. She asked if we wanted a non-veg meal. We said no.
She said 250. We had to pay 1500 rupees to get there. My mother and I. But before going, my mother spoke to a lot of people. My uncle and other relatives
who think that there is no father and that she is taking the girl. They feel that everyone will take her away and they will make her mother sit outside and pull her dupatta What can you do? Don't do this, no one will marry a girl like her, she is your first girl My mother said that I have to go and see My mother brought me and said that let's see, let's not and see. My mother brought me here. Let's see if she still remembers.
Maybe she wouldn't have brought me here if she had heard so many people talking. Then Bharti wouldn't have been sitting here today. And I always bow to God less, but to my mother. Even before the performance on stage,
I close my eyes and see my mother's smiling face. And everything happens to me. I really do very little light at home. Harsh does it or someone else does it. I fulfill every wish of my mother because my mother instantly fulfills my wish. God, give me a house.
I don't know when I will get it. One year later, two years later. Mom, make me this food. The phone rings in 15 minutes. It's done, take it. So my mother was the greatest God for me. minute phone In Marol, there is a place called Ashok Nagar. There are buildings and flats. They made us stay there. You can't believe it, Raj.
I was so small in all that. I mean, I was small in talent. Because there were big, famous people from Pakistan. People whom you see on TV. People whom Kapil Bhai does this. People whom Johnny Bhai does this.
Those people were in my competition. Yes, where are you from? I was scared, I had uncles, all of them were uncles. You must have done at least 2-3 episodes. You must have done at least 2-3 episodes. I was happy in 2-3 episodes, I just wanted to be on TV once,
so that my fees would get reduced. So, while doing it, they all left. And I was standing in the top 3. Wow! They all left and I was in the top 3. Wow. I don't know how it happened. I still don't understand how it happened. People say that when I came to Bombay, I didn't struggle. I kept getting work, I kept getting touchwood.
I kept getting it and I still do. If you think about it, what was there in you that others didn't have that made you reach the top 3? I still don't understand that. Even today, I cry backstage. top three. Yes sir. So even if someone comes for a touch up, I feel like don't touch me. I feel like I go into a different tune. But after going on stage, within 10 seconds, I don't see anyone's father in front of me.
I feel like all these are mine and people are mine. So those claps and their laughter, it boosts me so much a boost. It's like a Red Bull for me. Harsh also says that when I come back from performing, he says, what have you done? You were so scared. Liar. I say, Harsh, I don't know what power I have on stage, Raj.
I'm telling you the truth. The things I don't remember on paper, I can't say them, how do I say them? Do this and say it. I say it in such a way that people laugh for 3-4 minutes. I still don't understand what it is. Harsh says, I don't know how you say it.
He is a writer. He thinks first, edits, and then says. By then I have nine punches. Seriously. And I still don't know what that power is. I don't know what it is.
And it was like this from the start? From the start. Since you went to the job stage?
Yes. Even in the streets. When they burn our 13-pronged lorries in the streets. I used to say, Bharti, do that. Do that auntie's imitation. I don't know why I still don't understand. I am so scared of going out of the house, I am scared of going to the film city. I don't know what I will say to Bachchan sir.
After that I say so much, I say in my ears, let him also say Bharti. You let him also say. I don't know, I feel that whatever power is there in my life, it should be with me. I never get on the stage being selfish, that I have to make my partner fall and say, I am the one. I am a hit, that too a hit. I stop for that too.
And every partner or co-host comes and says, Thank you, you did this. Whether it is Manish Paul or anyone else. Even today, Manish and Paul are still good friends. And Sunil Grover, Sunil Grover and I started the stage with me. And he still says that you gave me a lot of opportunities. I feel like if I give the opponent an opportunity,
then God will give you an opportunity. I feel like I have been on stage for a lifetime. And I wish that if I get tired, I get on stage. Because I am very scared of death. I know that when I die on stage, I won't even know. I tell Harsh that I want
people to clap for me on stage. I want that to happen. I want that to happen. That's all I want. I don't know. No one in my family works on stage.
No one is an actor. No one has done theatre. I don't know where the stage, I don't have an actor, I haven't done any theatre. I haven't done anything. I don't know where I got this God gift. Thank you so much. I will always say this to Sudesh Lehri Sir and Kapil Bhai. Both of them are my teachers.
And Rajiv Thakur Sir, who brought me here. I said, you can do it. I used to think that in Bombay, there are only Bombay who are hot, who have nails, who do this and that. They say, no, no, you do it. But when I did it, people loved it so much, so much. I didn't even know about trolling because social media wasn't that big then.
Neither was Instagram, BBM was there earlier. So that was it, I didn't know about trolling. Now I know, sometimes people troll. That how hungry is the money, the child was born, so she left like I discussed what happened in 12 days?
I was doing a show, Khatra Khatra it was a game show and there was a commitment and my date was April, no my delivery date was in March
but my son was born in the 10th month I don't know, it was a strange month. I was counting the time, and it was the 10th month, I had to operate because it was not happening. So, the channel, because I was the main pillar in it, I was like, when will you come back?
So, I think the commitment I have made, even today, Raj, when I go for a shooting, the stars are scattered, I reach there. Because I have a call time at 7 o'clock, so I think, the actor in front of me will say, say 7, by 9, 8.30 will come. I am not that kind of a person.
I have been like that for 18 years. Harsh and I work together, I leave, I have my own car, what am I doing, I am getting late, I am leaving, I leave it set and go. That happens during the artist's time. The production has given us a time that they will be there by 7.30 or 8.30. So, they come at that time.
But I am there at 7.05. My staff also reaches there. They know that madam has to come. Everyone.
But don't you have to take care of your body? At least after the delivery.
Just after 12 days you reach the set. I had a commitment. I didn't have any plans of paying off my loan. I loved my job. I used to think that I would feel pain if I sat at home. But I would not feel pain if I went on stage. I was a small kid.
Everyone was there. I didn't lock my child up and bring him milk, diapers and everything. There were a lot of people at home. My mother-in-law, my mother, my nannies, my nurse, everyone was there. But I left in 12 days. Because I was happy only on the 10th day.
When I told them that the shoot is the day after tomorrow, they asked me if I would do it. I said yes, I will do it. I really did it. People trolled me. Do you know who trolled me?
The gents. I had no other choice. There were a lot of uncles who had never had a child. Why do you think gents did this? Because they had stopped their wives from going out for 40 days. They didn't want to do this for 40 days. When a woman is happy with her mind, everything will be fine. She will be able to breastfeed well.
I used to take her to the pump and send her to the pump. I used to do everything. I am a homemaker even today my child eats dal and rice not like I made avocados for him or mashed potatoes
nothing like that he is a desi child he eats roti, sabji proper one people keep trolling I don't care about trolling
I think they are weak they are sick, leave them. Those who can't do it themselves, they troll. How to troll? I have never written anything to anyone. I have so much time. There are so many things that make us angry, seeing what they are doing.
Do this, do that. I never do it. I have always... If she was doing fine, no one would have... Yes, you are right. My vegetables will burn until I troll. Who will temper my lentils? I am Bharti Singh outside, but I am Bharti at home. Gule's mother, Harsh's wife.
I know. I have to go home and cook food. I have soaked rajma and come. I have to temper it. Now there are a lot of people, you have Chef Ma'am, Poga. Yes, I have all of them, but my husband's mind is like that. He will get everything ready, you just have to temper it.
He is a proper guy.
He is a proper house.
He is a proper house and a proper husband. Husband is the one who has shoes here and there, then pants there, belt there, then underwear near the bathroom and then he is missing. Because he goes then the pant is there, the belt is there, then the underwear is near the bathroom and then it's gone. Because that bathroom goes from there. So I keep picking it up.
I've been shouting at it for at least 7-8 years, it didn't get better. Then I said, it's not right, I keep doing it. So I keep doing it. And we are not just husband and wife, we are very good friends. Very good friends. That the world can see. I'm scared. I haven't flown since then. What are you saying? I haven't flown. I have a few things to do. I have to go.
I'm in a bad condition. I've been scared since I was a kid. The weather that's going on right now, I don't take any events for 4 months. Whereas, in these 4 months, I refuse to take so many events.
I refuse to take so many offers. I refuse because I refuse such a big offer because I am very scared of turbulence. Like this. Because I scream, and if aunties scream, then the situation gets worse.
I said, I won't earn money for 4 months, no problem. But Harsh kept telling me, if you want to come, then come home. I said, if I come home, then no problem, I will bear it. But fly, I mean, if I die in a flight, I will die. Because I can't have a seat like that guy.
But if you look at it, math wise, let's say a thousand trains, a thousand flights, a thousand cars go by. The least chance of an accident is in a plane.
More than a train flight and more than a car. So let's sell the car. No, no. Let's sell four cars and buy a small plane. car car car car car car
car car Are there people who can remove fear from your mind? You do podcasts for so many people, serious ones, are there such people?
Yes, why not?
They hypnotize me and do something good.
Not hypnotize, they make you talk.
If you talk too much, fear will go away automatically. Is there anyone like that? Level 1, level 2, level 3, professionals don't know. Level 1 is talk more. Make jokes with your friends, make fun of them. That's what level 1 is.
Talk more.
About what? About what you're scared of. God will say, she's making fun of me, she'll die. No, no, no. We all have to go somewhere. I've decided that we'll go in two flights.
First they'll go, then us. Because if we go in one, then there's no want to go with him.
What is your biggest fear?
My mother. I feel like my mother should never die. I feel like I won't be able to breathe without her. My mother was very sick last year. She had a kidney issue and she had to undergo a transplant. Since then I have started manifesting.
I have started manifesting and I have experienced it. I have done it and I have really succeeded in it.
I also believe a lot in manifesting.
I believe a lot. I started doing it two years ago when I took my mother to the operation theatre and the light was red. So I started manifesting that when my mother will come back, I started thinking, I started seeing that I am in Jagannath Puri. And whatever I saw, that was what happened. After a year of transplant, I took her to Jagannath Puri. And the same flight, the same darshan, because I am a chariot traveler. I believe in God a lot. I feel that the power that is with me on that stage is probably this.
Because what is not visible, what is probably this that what you don't see, what you feel is God because I have two Gods, one is my mother and I am very scared of losing my mother but since I have manifested, I have got everything I have got everything I don't dream as much with Harsh as I dream with my mother
that I am in Switzerland, I am throwing snow at my mother or doing something like that. I see her as my mom. Even though I'm in a love marriage and I love her. But I think of my mom in every good way. I think of her.
Sometimes I go to a 5 star or 7 star hotel. I think, what a room this is. I want to bring my mom and dad here. I think this way. I never planned this way.
Same.
You are very attached to my mom.
Oh man.
Can you see that?
Is it mom's hand?
It's mom's and my family's. They gave me that blessing and she gave it to me. And that's mom's hand.
Wow. Ever since we have a baby, Harsh and I have started loving our parents so much. Earlier, we used to say, Mom, let's talk later in the meeting. Now, the meeting… One minute. Yes, Mom?
Yes, yes, no. Are you okay?
Yes.
I stop and talk like this because I have realized now. Because parents say, when it's your turn, you'll know. They are right.
I know.
They are right. Please get married and have a baby soon. You will start loving them more. And they won't love you back. They will love the child more. They will call you and ask, Hello, how are you? Talk to him. If I could, I would build a temple for my mother.
Wow.
I would keep her idol. I love my mother a lot. And I love Harsh's parents so much that I feel like I should never separate their son from them. Harsh is there? Yes, yes, call mom.
Is there a problem? In this?
In what?
When you get married, usually there is a difference between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law.
Not at all. Not at all. Harsh's parents... Didn't your mother-in-law feel that you are taking away your son? No, no. She herself said, this house is small, you can take it away. Once I tell my mother-in-law that I want to eat this Gujarati food,
she wants me to cook it, cook it, cook it. Because I am the one who didn't separate the son.
Hmm.
The one who didn't separate the son. Did you ever feel that he is your son? I have not seen any serials or movies that I will have this suitcase with me till 12. I don't know, I just felt that he is my only son. If I separate him from me, how will he live? And I have a lot of respect for elders.
Because in Punjab, we respect elders a lot. And I have seen my mother working from the start. In a factory, in a blanket factory, working in people's homes. Tell me from the beginning, why did your mom work? Like I was two years old, my father died. Then after that, he had a hijack, he drank something in it, so he vomited some blood.
I am not even conscious, even today if you put my father's photo in the house, I feel like you should remove it. Because I think that guy is a stranger I have never seen that guy If you go to my house, you will find my dad's photo I feel like There is no memory or anything I used to have a big problem of living alone
Everyone used to go to work Even my mom And I still remember In summers, my brother used to have Such a big bag In which there were blankets Which we don't even buy anymore I remember my brother used to have a big blanket in the summer.
We don't even buy those anymore. Now we have velvet blankets. Those ones. Those ones. He used to have to roll them up. My mother used to bring dupattas for the Goddess.
She used to make the sound of the machine. I heard that a lot at night. That's why elders have a lot of noise, even at night. So that's why elders have a lot of respect for their elders. My brother was small, he respected his brothers and sisters a lot. Even today, whether it's our whole family or our whole family, I have done it.
The rest are very innocent. I didn't know. Sometimes I take them on an international flight, even in business class. So my brother, I tell him to order a drink He says, how did the poor girl come?
I say, she is like this She is sitting, how will she get up? In Punjabi, I say, order a drink She is sitting, how will she get up? She is like this Even in business class, I am scared of her
When you were young and everyone else was working and you lived alone did you ever feel that others have a father but not you?
Did you miss him?
Yes, I did A lot
Did anyone ever make fun of you or bully you? Because usually if someone doesn't have a father, they tease him
Society makes fun of you
I didn't make fun of him, but I've seen it with pity. I used to study in a government school. They said, they will get the books, but not their father. There were 3-4 kids, including me. The rest were different. It felt very strange. They used to say, rich people came to distribute books,
and those who don't have a father or a mother, they will get it. But when I got married and met Harsh's dad, I thought that dad is a very nice person. Dad is a very funny person. I mean, it was fun. I feel that if dad was there from the beginning, I would have been so friendly with him.
I would have been so frank with him. So it was a lot of fun. Sometimes I ask my friends, my dad brought this for me. I used to think that I can expect this from my mom. My dad went this for me. I used to think that I can expect this from my mother. My dad went there for me.
He will bring mangoes at night. He will bring mangoes for us. I thought, okay. My dad scolded me. He said, don't do it. I used to think that dads scold and stop too.
But dads are very nice. But after marriage, I found out that dads are great. How is your dad?
Very good.
Does he scold you? He loves me a lot and he scolds me a lot. I've been beaten up a lot. I've been beaten up with shoes, sticks, and a lot of beatings.
But he loves me just as much.
And the other brother?
Same. The other brother was beaten up less.
Why?
Because the elder brother had a sore throat.
He had eaten the whole plate You had made your father tired So you were telling me about your childhood
That your father died
Yes
My mother was 22 years old
So in 20 years
Yes, I was 20 years old My mother got married at the age of 15 So in 22 years, I had 3 children And my mother was so beautiful Long hair, this and that I had three children at the age of 22. My mother was so beautiful, had long hair. So, my relatives also stopped me from getting married.
I used to think that a 22-year-old girl is a young girl. She could have married if she wanted to, she could have had a lot of boyfriends. But she used to look at me and my brother and sister and she used to work. She was a housewife.
I still remember that on festivals, I used to go with my mother. I used to sit at her gate and play. My mother used to mop the floor and remove the sofa. Take out some from here too.
Like we do today. Take out some from here too., take some from here too. Okay, listen, while leaving, take this Sabji-Babji. So, we were so happy, we were getting Koftas. Koftas from the day before yesterday are fresh for us. Dal-Makhni, this and that. I am that aunty's daughter.
The maid aunty came, I am that aunty's daughter. And today, you will see in the vlogs, Wherever I live, she lives there. Wherever I fly, she flies the same way. Wherever we eat, it's not like sit on that table, son. Here, me and sir sit. No, here only. Sometimes I eat from their plate. I feel like she is my mother, my sister.
I am still the same. It's not like I am making a vlog. Even today, when I make something in the vlog, before feeding it with her, her kids are watching the vlog. They must be so happy that my mom is so safe.
We…
Whose house are we going to, mom? That street, number 3. That aunty scolds you a lot, right? So, it used to be like that. But I didn't want her kids to think, She doesn't go home. She doesn't take a day off. She doesn't take a day off. She doesn't go. She is happy. Sister, we are going to Switzerland.
Yes, sister, it's fine. I mean, she is no longer a nanny. Now she cooks our food, otherwise she will cook for the child. Sister, should I cook rice? Sister, should I make this pulao today? She does all for me. It's not like I'm a driver, so I'll do this.
Or I'm a nanny, so I'll just take care of Baba. It's not like that. Rupa didi, I'm going for a shoot, will you make mutton for Bhaiya? Yes, I'll make it. She does everything for me because I've given her a lot of love. Today is Mother's Day, so I give it to Naini on her behalf. She gets happy. Because she loves my child so much, I can't even touch her feet.
Because if someone loves your child, you will sell yourself for them. She cries, saying, Babu is feeling a little hot. I have done so much stage, so much acting. I know who is acting and who is original. She cries, saying, Baba, if anything happens to Baba, please pick me up.
She used to do this. So, it is visible in her heart. I bow down in front of her, Raj, who loves my child so much, who takes such care of me. I have seen old films of Shirdi Devi,
Yeh Jawani Hai Diwani, Beta, and eat food together. It is so much fun. I love it. And this is what your mother used to do? No one used to do this with my mother. When my mother used to work at people's houses, no one used to do this. Even today, in my house,
like today, the vegetables are ready. If we eat it by night, then it's fine. The next day, I don't let anyone eat it. No one. I tell them to put the cow or the crow. I tell them not't eat it, sister. I don't say, sister, we eat this,
you eat the lentil from yesterday. I never do that. I do it because people have done it a lot. So I want to change it. That the work they are doing, they are not sold, they are doing the work.
Did you come home and complain?
Yes, I used to get sad. Why? She used to scold me a lot. She used to say, my plate broke while washing. I did this, I did that. My sister didn't say anything. She used to say, be careful. I got hurt here.
We used to tie her up. We didn't believe it. People used to go home and light crackers. We used to wait for our mother in the street. We used to get sweets. She used to come and then we used to get sweets in the market. We used to worship Goddess Lakshmi. We didn't have that much money.
I didn't have a good childhood. People used to light crackers. I used to clap for them. But I thought they also lit the crackers. When a festival used to come, I used to get scared.
I thought everyone will celebrate, but I won't. There is no one who brought something for me. I never thought I would won't celebrate. There is no one who will bring us anything. We never thought we would get new clothes on the day of the festival. We will get money only when we get it. Or we will get clothes from the house of the mother whose daughter's frock came.
We will wear that. There was no question of new clothes. There was nothing like that. So, looking at my mother, I feel that this girl has done a great job for us. If she wanted, she could have got married at the age of 22. And she could have left us at her grandmother's house and started her own life.
But she didn't do it. So, if someone can love their children so much, why can't children love their parents?
Then how did your mom convince people? Now you are saying that you were born in a simple, small family. Yes. No one did anything in your family. How did you get the opportunity?
How did all this happen? The laughter challenge that I did in Mumbai.
What did you do?
I didn't do anything. I studied in college, I did sports, I did theatre.
You did national level shooting.
Yes, I did everything. I stood in the middle of I used to see Dola Banerjee, Abhinav Bindra, that this is how it should be done. But the rifle was not ours. Because at that time, there were rifles worth 4.5 lakhs. The German rifle, the lens one. And the bow and arrow were also very expensive.
Because they look like wooden, but they are worth lakhs.
You have to set it up, there were many things. Those are also very expensive. They look like wooden but they are worth lakhs.
You have to set it up. There are many things. So you used to do archery? Archery and rifle shooting. I was a rifle shooter. Because boys do pistol shooting.
Because boys have a lot of strength in their arms. So they can stay like this. We used to do like this. Yes, I was a rifle shooter. So what happened with rifles was I was a rifle girl. So, when we used to go to the police academy for competitions, the DSP's son, the MLA's son, who had their own rifles,
used to open the boxes and set them up. And we used to sit there as government officials. We had our own government rifles. We used to play with them when it was our turn. So, I had a great desire that whenever I would get money, I would buy a rifle.
I even talked to my family once, I said, Mom, I want a 4 lakh rifle. My mom saw it and didn't react. Because 4 lakhs in Punjab, at that time, in 2007-2006, two daughters would have gotten married in 2 lakhs. So, even after hearing it,
I ignored it, I started to wonder what she was saying. I said, I really said, I used to pray to God day and night that I get into shooting. God heard my prayers and sent me into shooting. I can take 20 rifles today, but I don't have time. I have also taken membership in Rifle Shooting. There is a range in Goregaon.
I have been there a couple of times. Today, the rifle cost me 8 lakhs.
I told Harsh that I will take it whenever he says couple of times and I have given Harsh the rifle worth 8 lakhs
I told Harsh that I will give it to you whenever he says but I don't have time My passion has come to a side and I had to move ahead on this shooting But I really want to have a child I want to have another child
I can say this in the podcast No power can stop me I want a girl I feel that I love my mother a lot. So my daughter should think the same way. I don't know what God is giving me.
I will definitely have another child. Everyone is saying that I am alone. How will you raise me? I said I will raise you however I want. But I have to have another baby. And when my two children will grow up,
whether I am 50 or 55 or 60, I'll shoot rifles again. Even today, when I go to Amritsar, when I go to the Baga border, the parade, the flag that comes down, the people in front of you, it's like they're putting slogans on their own side. Have you ever seen the Baga border? Yes, I've been there.
It's like, don't stop me, let me go. I was like, seriously, did you see the young men who are praying? Their legs are even higher than mine. I have also burnt 303. And for that, the shoulder should be very strong. Like this. So I was having fun, my shoulder was down.
You know, I was like this. And his bullet was like this. I really wanted to do something for the country. I really wanted to represent India. Did you change after you got the money? After I got the money, yes.
I bought watches and jewelry, but I couldn't change from within. I really couldn't change from within. I go to the business class, I stay in 5 star, but I still get beaten up. I don't know why I couldn't change. I go to business class, I stay in 5 star, but I still learn by heart. I don't know why I don't change. Maybe I have been like that. Or maybe Punjab is such a place that doesn't let you change.
Punjab doesn't let you change. I really yearn to go to Amritsar, but Mumbai does not leave you. Mumbai stops you. Whenever I make a plan, a show comes. Whenever I make a plan, a long series comes on TV, which I have to do. Now I was making a plan for many months that I will go, but Laughter Chef came, which went on for 8-9 months. Now I don't know when I will go. If you earn 100 rupees, how much do you get from TV? If I earn 100 rupees, I get 60 from TV and 40 from YouTube. YouTube, man, if someone tells me to wash the mic from here to there,
then I will get money. So, my mind is that I am ready to work hard. Harsh says that TV is going to shut down, no one will watch TV. Let's do YouTube. So I said, YouTube?
Vlog? I said, why should I show my life to anyone? Hi guys, I am going to Maldives. I said, why should I tell them? Later, when I did it, I started enjoying it. Because I started getting comments,
I started getting you more when you started spoiling my money. But I saw that if you do YouTube with honesty and dedication, then YouTube also shows the same level of dedication for you. Tell me one important thing. When you started, did you ever feel that people laugh at my jokes or at me? Or laugh at my body?
Yes.
They laughed at both. They said, how fat are you his stomach, dance and talk. Because I used to talk about my fatness. Once I slept in a bed sheet, someone thought it was a bean bag and sat on top. So people started imagining. Because I used to think that if someone calls me fat, before that if someone calls me a
donkey, you can do it on your own. Because I am fat. I am, you do it on your own. Because I am fat. I am. So what? If I don't look good, then fine. Then they used to say, don't be thin. It won't be fun.
I thought comedy was about talking. It wasn't about my weight. That's fine. I was fat initially. But when I became famous, people started recognizing me. Then I became cute, bubbly.
Then no one called me fat. Is it because of fame or is it because of the generation change?
Maybe the generation is changing. And I feel that now, good people with good brains are coming, who know. Earlier, they used to say, what are you doing? But those who respected me, they used to think that, yes, she is an artist, she is making fun of me. So, I mean, I didn't care before, and I still don't. Do you like comedy?
Yes, I like it a lot.
How do you like it? No, no, I like it a lot. Samay is a very good friend.
I watch a lot of stand-up shows.
I didn't say a word, you see. Because you know what? I've been on TV since the beginning. Like Harsh has said it, because he is me, I am you. I didn't say it because I know who my audience is. They are women. I was getting so many answers,
so many answers, but I controlled it a lot. I know where my limit is. I know I can't say anything bad on stage because my audience is Indian television's women who watch me while peeling peas, vegetables, and adding pickle.
I said, Bharti ji, tell me, I will cut it. I said, I won't be able to do it. Because the audience is sitting down there. But I genuinely like this time. It is very funny. It's not like when the cameras are on or I sit there.
I am talking like this too. It is very funny. It is very funny. I saw him wearing a white Bro, you look so clean. He said, yes, we are going there. And the media asked, what will you say inside? I said, why would I say to you? I will say to them.
I even laughed at that. Why should I tell you? I will say to them. I couldn't even say it on my way. Because I was sitting in front of an audience. Because I do stand-up shows, live shows. It doesn't happen. I don't want to do it. I have it in my mind. I don't want to do it. I really have it in my mind. I don't want to do it.
When I was not married, I used to flirt a lot. Shah Rukh Khan, this and that. As soon as I got married, I stopped doing that. Because I would look cheap. I have a husband, but I am doing this to Shah Rukh Khan. Sir, tell me. It's like that. I host a lot of shows.
How does she speak? I don't know how it happens.
But I know my limits.
I never lose my cool. Do you think the generation has become too soft? They get offended by everything. The generation hasn't become soft. More than half of the people are lazy.
They are able to do something.
Half of the people want to be a queen. They want to have a mic, a table, a cup of coffee and say, yes, tell me what you have done. If they can't do something, then they don't become soft. Then they start trolling. They start talking like this. More than half of the girls want to be a heroine.
Nobody wants to do comedy. Nobody wants to make a funny face in comedy. Because my face is good. I don't want to make a funny face in comedy because I have a good face. I feel very happy that Bharti sees that girl and what she does on TV. Because she doesn't watch so much on the internet. There are many stand-up girls in comedy and they do it very well. But I feel that not everyone wants to be a heroine on TV.
Do comedy, that is also an art. I feel that when you watch a film, a hero comes and he flops, then you don't see him for 3 years, then after 4 years the film comes. But a comedian is in that film,
he's in the next film too. So I feel like if a comedian does it well, he never fails. Have you seen Johnny? He's still doing it. He's a killer.
He's a second.
It's fun to see them. Yes, it's fun to see them. They are as funny as they are God's people. And they talk seriously. You can take any comedian. We don't do comedy at home.
We stay calm at home. Harsh and I don't talk for hours. He watches podcasts. I am in do comedy. I stay at home all day. Harsh and I don't talk for hours. He watches podcasts. I'm in the kitchen. I have a different world. I don't work when I go home. I don't even think about it. I have a different world.
I don't think I've got worms on my kidney beans. I don't think I've dried my turmeric. I'm that kind of a person. I enjoy being a wife and a mother. But when I'm on stage, I'm Bharti Singh, a stand-up comedian. I do that. When people used to say, I'm getting too thin, I won't enjoy it.
I started enjoying it. I was getting work. It's not like I was 40 years old, then I used to enjoy it. Now I'm 32, I don't enjoy it. I still enjoy it.
Because my work didn't matter. And I... like people think that TV is off, so I got internet, I got this, I got YouTube. I enjoy it a lot, I enjoy travelling a lot. I feel like I should put 4 vlogs in a day. Really, I have so much content, Raj, I feel like, man, this 10-12 minute vlog is enough. No, man, this is a different topic, I should make it different. I feel like this is a 10-12 minute vlog. This is a different topic. Should I make it different? What is the formula of YouTube that works for you?
I started YouTube 2.5 years ago. And today I have 7.5 million subscribers. I don't know if they are good or not. They are very good subscribers. I don't know what you mean. 7.5 million is a lot of amazing subscribers.
And consistently 2-3 million views. I used to upload one vlog a week. I used to get paid. Not as much as I get paid from TV. If I work for a day, then, so I get paid monthly. But I love TV more than YouTube.
I feel like I'm missing something. I haven't told people yet. I don't know what's going on. If I don't make vlogs, something happens to me. People will think that Bharti is sick. I keep doing it.
It's okay, I'm getting paid. But I have a habit. You don't feel if I'm dead or alive. I keep doing it. I keep doing it. It's okay. The work is going on. I'm getting paid. But it's a habit.
It's become a habit.
Doesn't it feel pressure?
No.
It doesn't. I cook food at home. I tell everyone what to do. If I have to press Harsh's clothes, I tell them. I do all the household chores myself. I clean the bathroom with an urban clap. I do all those things. I can't just sit idle. If I sit idle, I'll get sick.
I'll get sick. I'll get sick if I sit idle. It's not like I'll get paid. But I don't want to sit idle. I want to do something else. I tell Harsh to do something else.
He does something else. He does something different. They do podcasts in water, in a pool, they do something weird, they cook in the air, they start a show
where you hang on a harness and have to make a sandwich. Ideas keep coming up. My partner is like that. She's doing something crazy. Yes, we can do this, we can do that. So now we keep thinking.
Both have such brains. So I think that now anyone can become a star. Anyone can become a star.
Because of this, optimism should increase. People should enjoy more. Brother, what an opportunity is this. Why is it increasing that people want to show each other down
and want to make it fall. Because everyone has to move forward. Now how many reels are being made? Only two are coming out of that. If 200 reels are being made, then only two are being selected. If others have to do something else, then I do small clothes, I dance like this or change. I had seen earlier that there were only a few people who made such dirty reels or something like this.
Now you see, every third reel is like this. I have seen women in sarees, who are dancing on the terrace in sarees. And I have seen the neighborhood, the household people, everyone around. Everyone wants to move forward. But the one who moves forward, you will be the troll. She is not a sister-in-law, she is gone. You will not write her down, you will write her if she is a wailer.
Otherwise, you will write her up. But if someone is famous and he did it, then he's a bad guy. Show me more. I read the comments of people. I wonder how people are.
I don't know what will happen. Thank God, I started vlogging.
To show everyone real life.
Really, it's difficult now. But it's not that difficult to become a star. Because you don't have to go to a director or an office to stand up. You just have to put on a reel and go viral.
True.
Really. If I had a relay in Punjab, I would have done it too. I would have done it like this and sent it. We were just talking about this. We can't make out this laugh, but that voice. That echoing voice, I can't get it out of my head.
I can hear it. It's very audible. Sidhu bhaji, the shoot would have ended. Wait a minute, tell me with a smile. I said, yes. He said, Oh, that's enough.
Do it again. Kapil bhai, whenever I go to his house, I say, One more time. I'm so happy, can I have a kiss? She also starts tickling me. When I talk to my son, he also starts laughing. Mom, you're talking like a kid. How sweet. Thank God, people still remember this voice. Because I don't do it that much.
I don't become so lullaby. If someone remembers it, please do it. Like we have podcasts. Do it once. Then I felt like so many people are sitting and I am a mother now. So I said,
hehehehehe. I'll do this.
This is a very iconic character. How did this character come? How did this character start?
I don't know, man. I felt like, there was a script. They say, you will become a little Punjabi I asked him to sing a poem. He sang in a very similar voice. He sang in a very similar voice.
He sang in a very similar voice.
He sang in a very similar voice.
He sang in a very similar voice. I felt like I was myself from my childhood. I really started enjoying it. I got a few ads in between that said I have to do it in this voice. That you are a woman. But oh my god, mother-in-law, you? I said, how is that? I left a lot of things.
I thought I should do it in a child's look. I still enjoy it a lot. If I did it at home, my in-laws laugh. My mom too. Harsh is always happy. If he gets upset, I cheer him up in the same voice.
I was reading somewhere that you had talked in an inappropriate way to someone in the early days. Did this ever happen?
In the beginning, yes. Not on TV. But when I had no money, I used to go to colleges to get comedy scripts done. I never understood it then. Because you never know.
These days they tell you about good touch and bad touch. You never knew. If you hold something straight, then it's a bad touch. If someone brings their hand here, it feels like uncle is standing to support you. It felt like that. I used to take three days off from college.
I had a friend, me and Gurtej. So for three days, he would go to a small college an hour away from here. I used to take a bus at 5 in the morning. In that 5 o'clock bus, everyone was wearing milk clothes. The ones who wearing longis,
he was holding the milk. There was no space. Oh, careful! He would fall over. I didn't understand for a year and a half that he was teasing me.
Then when someone held me tight, I felt like... I still thought it was his think that maybe he fell down and that's why he got the same thing and that's why he caught it I didn't understand
Then slowly... I was older than my brain I had to go to college I had to teach the kids I had to leave at 10 and go to my college at 12 So slowly I came to know
that good touch, bad touch because I wasn't told college Then when I found out, I was really angry. I hit him a lot. I slapped boys who were taller than me. Even if they kept shaking their hands. But when I found out that this is a bad touch, this is not a good touch, touching these places is a bad touch, then I became very careful.
This fight used to happen in the bus.
Okay.
A milkman would come.
During the skit? Yes, when I used to travel at the bus stop. Okay. I used to eat at the bus stop. I used to eat at the bus stop. I used to eat at the bus stop. I used to eat at the bus stop. I used to eat at the bus stop.
I used to eat at the bus stop.
I used to eat at the bus stop. I used to eat at the bus stop. I used to eat by flight for 2.5 hours, then I came back, I traveled for 4 hours in a car, so payment is done first, right? Bhaati ji, you do the first entry, mummy ji is with you, I will give the envelope to mummy ji, you know, they are eating paan, you sit, I will give.
So when I did the first entry, I said, mummy, the bill? No, he didn't come. He was saying it from a distance. So we both, mother and daughter, Bholi, then after that, my second entry, then he said, My wife is bringing the envelopes from home. You do it.
I used to say that I shouldn't stop my performance. That people are waiting for me. Still, I didn't even give them money. I haven't even reached the hotel. So many people took my money. And when I had a mobile phone, I used to say, whatever his name was, Ramesh or Rajesh, don't show it.
I used to feed it like this. You know, after 3-4 years, they used to call me. I didn't answer. Not that you didn't give me my money. I didn't have the courage to say that you didn't pay me for what you did four years later. I couldn't even say that. I lost so much money.
I don't know why. Maybe it was because there was no man's shadow. It wasn't like there was a man behind it. Because there was no man. I had a brother. He was older than me and younger than my sister.
There was no father. If there was a father, I would have called my father. Who would I have called? There was no one, who would fight? There were women, there was my mother, poor thing, and me. How? And we were travelling from one place to another,
four hours away from Benaras, to a village. So travelling at night, I was very scared. How much money did I have to pay? How many times did I give the trophy and the shawl so many times and I didn't even get the money So many times Everyone who was watching, knew I slowly understood
I didn't understand this much Then later I did a few shows with Kapil Bhai We used to click photos Oh Bharti ji, come You were eating paan near your mouth
Then Kapil Bhai said I thought you are an uncle, so you must be acting like a daughter. Why do you let her touch your back? I said, uncle, no one does this. Whoever you tell, stand straight and click a photo.
Kapil Bhai has told me half of the things. That no one can do this to a girl. Because we didn't know. We never did getting shows. I didn't know that I couldn't hug anyone. I couldn't hold someone's waist.
I thought that he was an old man, he must be acting like a daughter. But later I came to know that I shouldn't do this, son. I should tell him to stand straight. Then I came to know that
if someone is taking a selfie, selfie I'll tell you uncle you're making a video. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, When I take pictures, people pull my cheeks. They think it's a comedy and it's mine. Okay, even aunts do it, but not uncles. Because you do comedy, you can't pull someone's cheek. So now I've started keeping bodyguards. When people started pulling my cheeks, I was scared.
When you're at home at night and you get a call, three uncles and two women have come to meet you from Jaipur. I get a lot of calls in my building. A boy is crying downstairs. He has written something for you in a diary.
Have you revealed the location?
No, no. I don't know how I get to know. A girl has come downstairs. She says, I won't go until I meet you. I get very scared then. Because I have been very scared since I was a kid. I don't want to go home. True. Right? When I find out that three uncles and two aunts have come from Jaipur.
They've brought something. They say, meet me. I say, go to the office. Not home. Because home is such a space. Home is my nest.
That is that.
It's a nest where there are eggs. Where even a bird doesn't let anyone near it. Home is a safe place. Then I would say, go to the office. You can meet me there. A lot of people come to the shooting. They start crying.
I used to think, oh God, if there is so much love, then I also start crying. I also start crying. I met a small kid in Goa. He was around 7 or 8 years old
He said he's a fan of yours, he watches your vlogs I started crying when I saw him I don't know why I'm still the same person I'm going to eat colourful sweets during Diwali Really
You'll stay the same
And mothers
They won't change
Yes, mothers make you feel like that Don't do this People are craving for you You're going through this Yes, mummies bring them in their place. Don't do this, people are craving for you. This is what's happening to you. Okay, fine. Are you scared of being alone?
Yes, a lot.
Because of your childhood, even today?
I'm really scared. I'm really scared of being alone. Today, Harsh will come home at 2, I'll be awake by 2. Even though everyone is at home, but I can't know why. Why are you scared of being alone?
Now everything is there.
Because in my childhood, where there was a light switch, I couldn't reach there.
And for so long, I used to sit outside the door. There are two stairs to the gate. In Punjab, we call it thada, sitting outside the gate. So I used to sit there. Why did mom come? She would come and the streetlights would be on and it was dark in my house.
I was scared of being alone. I was really scared. I was really scared of being alone. I was really scared of being alone. Noise, alcohol, lighting, music, crowd, applause, laughter.
crowd, applause, laughter. If I don't get this thing once a week, I might fall sick. That's why I have shoots every other day. I don't know, I'm happy being in the midst of people. There are so many people outside, I'll go there and I'll have a different smile.
I like the crowd. I don't like being alone.
Is it because of childhood? Because your family used to work and you used to live alone.
Maybe I think that thing thing in my mind.
That you don't have a father, mother, brother, sister. Everyone is working and you are living alone.
Yes, yes, that's it. That's it. I think that's why because in childhood, there are things that you remember for a lifetime. I think that's why I'm afraid of being alone.
I've been alone a lot in my childhood. I have been alone till late at night. I was 8 or 8.30. For a 5-6 year old child, it is 8.30 or 9.30. It is very late. It is very late. It happens that a scooter light comes on.
My mother and brother come. The scooter would turn there. Then it would sit like this. Then an auto came. My sister must have come. So, my mom and brother would come and the scooter would turn there. Then I would sit like this. Then there would be an auto, my sister would come. Then the auto would turn there and an auntie would get off and leave.
So, this was a hope. That's why I'm very scared of being alone. Has it ever happened that a very famous comedian said,
don't leave the girls, go home.
Has it ever happened?
Do you know? I don't want to talk about girls. You go home. Has this ever happened to you? You know, I don't know if I'm told this in the rest of the field, but no one says this in the field of comedy. I have worked with so many people, from Johnny to so many others. You do wonders, you do wonders. So I feel like I've never felt discriminated against. And the people I have worked with,
because all of them are Punjabis. Even if one person tells me that he is not Punjabi, all of them are from Amritsar. And they have taught me the work. And do you know, when we used to do Kapil Sharma, Kapil Sharma is the main head.
So it's not like I am the main... Hey, you are going, you go and tell Sunil Shetty that they give each other a punch. I also think that I've learned from Kapil Bhai that this knowledge, the more you increase, the more you'll increase.
Kapil Bhai, before you go, listen, listen, listen, come here. You go and tell him this on his earrings and tell him this on his shoes. Otherwise, he can also say that. They give each other. And I am very blessed because the people who have taught me, I work with them.
And they have taken care of me. And really, there has never been a difference in comedy.
What is the role of Kabir Sharma in your life?
Very big. I mean, for me, if I…
His icon.
Yes. For me, people say that he has come to a point where he has said this and that, but I have seen the hard work of that person. That person sits alone in the room. Who is Raj? Raj Shamani? Okay. He will sit alone with your letter. That person does not need a writer. He just needs a writer for typing. Write this. Write this. How many times have they told me that there is jokes are not comedy. Look around you, observe.
How is your driver? How does he get lost? Do this, do that. Hurt someone. There is no one above Kapil Sharma. There is no one.
I say the same. I respect him a lot. And even today, whenever I feel down, or they call me, I want to go to their house a lot. For me, it's an energy boost.
Bhaji, I'm scared. I have a performance there tomorrow. All those big people are coming. Hey, you can do whatever you want. Otherwise, today I saw that people from the same field pressuring each other. Yes, it is scary.
But they are careful. They get angry. Never. You are a lion. You can do whatever you want. No one can do that. So you think that... If King says,
I have only 3 bullets. I can shoot 30. They boost me so much. That's why I'm saying I've never felt any difference. I don't know if anyone has ever made me feel down. What are you doing, man? Be careful.
No one has ever scared me like that.
Did they support you?
They supported me a lot. A lot.
Even in opportunities?
Yes. Whenever I get something, I ask them to do it. Yes, it, very good. Do it like this. They always share. I have seen it. Anyone. They always share.
Will you ever meet them or have a good friendship? Brother, this. No, no, brother. This is amazing. They will never talk down. They are different people at home and different on stage.
And backstage is the same as mine. Sweat, sweat. He's a different person at home and on stage. And backstage, he's just like me. Sweating like crazy. Sweating like crazy. Wait a minute. Even though he's done so many shows,
he's still sweating like crazy.
Like, yes, yes.
Okay! That's how he goes backstage. Let's go. 3, 2, 1, action! He screams and goes on the backstage. Let's go. 3, 2, 1. Action. He goes on stage screaming. He goes like this.
It feels like, I'm feeling a little low today. But on stage, he doesn't seem low. So many people love him.
What's the best part?
He's very down to earth. I don't know how you see him on on stage or how you see him when he is telecasted. But I have known him personally. He is very down to earth. He listens to me. He appreciates me so much because he is not a liar. He tells me that I am funnier backstage than on stage. He says, do this Bharti, do this. You can do it. Otherwise, I saw people from the same field do it.
It's difficult, man. I had a hard time too. I was in a bad shape. He never scares me. He boosts me so much. Because I go to all my festivals with him.
I go to his house in Karwa Chauth. We watch the moon, Diwali, Raksha Bandhan, all this. And every time I learn something from them. And he is a comedian, but do you know what he is from inside? A singer. Listen to my song. How did you like the song? Did you hear this line? He is very fond of singing. Very fond.
The whole world knows.
And if that person has decided, if that person is fat, he has decided that he will be thin in two months. Did you see?
Yes, yes.
It's done now.
Raju, you know, you have become thin. Call me from Shimla. I said, Harsh? I said, should I go to Harsh's clothes? Am I looking good?
Whatever line I have, I said, bro, you can cut vegetables with this. I mean, I personally really like that guy. He's really good.
That is true. When I went to the show, after the show was over, we were standing outside for a while, passing time. And at that time, the show was over, I would go home, I might never meet him again, whatever. We talked, exchanged numbers, had a normal conversation.
And he was just praising. And not just me, but 15 more people. The one who was meeting him, he was telling me something special about him. And genuine, not nonsense.
It's not like I'm praising the wrong in me.
Yes, yes.
The one who liked me, he was boasting about that. And I noticed that. And very few people noticed that. And I noticed that. And I noticed that. And I noticed that. And I noticed that. And I noticed that. And I noticed that. And I noticed that.
And I noticed that. So that was very interesting that I saw. I want you to do his podcast. You'll enjoy it so much. And I'm telling you the truth. If I'm 18 years old, he's 25 years old. The same thing is, if millions of people don't learn, then you'll like two things about him that you'll definitely try in your life. Because I'm a big fan of his.
He's an inspiration for the entire country. He's on a whole new level. And whatever you do, up, down, up, down, he has done it all. He has come back and shown
that he is the king.
Yes, yes, yes.
If there is King Khan, there is King Koli, there is King Kapil.
Yes, yes. Very good.
What is one thing, one thing about you that people Yes, yes. Very good. He showed it. Yes.
What is one thing, one thing about you that people have a misunderstanding about you? People don't understand about Bharti.
Yes.
No, I mean there is no misunderstanding that people hate. People think that I eat a lot. I eat fried food only. Or I eat parathas only. I eat 6-7 parathas. Like often, go to a wedding or a buffet,
and you're not eating, what happens? You're not feeling well? If you're eating, then leave it for us too. I mean, I'm like this on both sides. People think I eat a lot, but I don't eat that much.
I don't eat, man. Have I asked for anything in all this time?
No.
Although I am hungry. When did you start feeling hungry?
But people think, I think this is a misunderstanding. You must be eating parathas. Actors and TV people think so. Like I am a laughter chef. You must have eaten parathas. People think Punjabis eat aloo paratha with oats.
People have a misunderstanding that I eat fried food. I don't have my attitude and arrogance are not like that You said your best friend is your husband
But you said that a Gujarati and a Punjabi should not get married
They should not get married because their child is very bad
Why?
Really What is bad? Our child has already thrown three phones in the bucket He throws a lot of things like corn, towel, Harsh's underwear at the neighbours' house I feel like, I don't know, all the mischiefs are like this Our first child is still a baby
So much mischief, so I feel like this combination has become weird Ghee and dhokla It has become a little weird I keep saying this in my vlogs, if a Gujarati or Punjabi is in love, then they should still think that their child is like this.
What did you feel when you decided to love Harsh? That he loved me. He loved me. Do you know why? Anyone would have loved you. No, no one would have. When I was like this, no one would have loved me.
Really, no one no one loved me. Really, no one loved me. And I started feeling like, I used to think that in Mumbai, boys come and date, then leave. In theatre, they kiss, then leave. They take advantage of it, then break up.
So it was nothing like that. In BBM, I like you a lot, I want to marry you. I really liked this. I felt that we don't match. You are thin and I am 80 kg.
We were not compatible. I don't know if we still look good. But then, it was 10 people standing there. Zero and one. I was so flattered that he didn't even look at me. I still ask Harsh,
I felt like he was my wife material. He used to write for me. So whenever we rehearsed, I used to open the box, he used to write for me. So whenever he used to rehearse, I used to open the box and put his food in the plate. Or I used to do this or give him his fruit. So he felt that this is a bit of a wife material. So since then I felt that I used to tell him that how are you, how am I.
He used to say, leave it, this is today have a dream, I have a dream, I have a dream, I have a dream, I have a dream, I have a dream, I have a dream, I have a dream, I have a dream, I have a dream, I have a dream, I have a dream, I have a dream, I have a dream, I have a dream, I have a dream, I have a dream, I have a dream, I have a dream, I have a dream, I have a dream, I have a dream, I was like, this guy is very serious. He had scared me. He sent me as a fool. I thought he would ask me how many kilometers does the missile fly
outside India. I was like, how will I answer such questions? But after coming here, I have become normal. I felt very good. I got a chance to talk to people that I have never talked to before.
I got a chance to get scared again. Because I share my childhood stories with very few people. I feel that I don't talk about the things that make me breathless. But here I got a chance to breathe and I said it in a very easy way. I think that there are a lot of people here, when they how was your childhood? Here, not a single person has asked me. So, maybe I am being counselled. Or I am being helped to overcome this anxiety.
So, I felt really good. And I felt really good talking about my childhood. Because no one has ever asked me if I like to live alone or if I am scared. This question has never been asked. Media keeps asking me a lot of questions.
These are very good questions. Harsh was right. He is intelligent. But I have a question in my mind. Kangana Ranaut came here and she said that if in any relationship the girl is more successful or has more fame
or earns more money then the relationship can't go well because the boy is insecure. Does it apply to you? People have done it many times. People have made you do it? Yes, even today.
For example, Harsh is a writer. And I don't know, now backstage people get a lot of money. But earlier it was not this much. Like if I take 10 lakhs, he used to take 1.5 lakhs. So there was a lot of difference. And even today, there is is a huge difference in money, when Harsh and I perform,
there is a huge difference in money. Even when we perform together, there is a huge difference in money. But Harsh and I never feel like I won't do it with you. Or, you do it.
Why did you say that? I was saying, I never feel like that. I said, no one ever made me feel down. Neither my fellow comedians, I never felt that way. I told you, no one ever made me feel down. Neither my fellow comedians nor my husband. That's why I didn't know how to get along.
Because my brother didn't give me time. My brother worked. He worked in someone's shop. Whenever I went to the shop, I used to see my brother's pocket full of clothes because he used to work in a suitcase shop and used to give him clothes and he used to bring clothes from the shop at night as well
so I never shared my feelings or anything like that and my father was not there but I came to know that males are very nice because I had heard a lot about males that they keep them suppressed because box. Because if you have a male ego, you can't work with your wife. And if you know the amount of it, that if she is taking 90% and I am taking 10%, then you say, no, you do it, I am fine with it.
But I never felt like that. That's why I still feel successful because no male has ever dominated me. He says, when you speak, I can't speak. It's a big deal when you tell your partner that what you do is not enough for me, how do you do it? He says, how did you say that? I kept thinking, I making it up, and you said it. So then it was so good. It happens that, no, man, are you crazy?
I started saying that line, you said it. It never happened.
But you said people made you feel like that in the beginning. Yes.
Made you feel, what did you say? Made me feel. Sometimes it happens that we tell Harsh, that you also say it like that. They say that she is asking for money at her level. When I am writing, I ask for money in writing. He is a very practical boy. And I think that today's boys are very practical.
And today's boys are very good husbands. And today's boys, I don't know, but all the boys I have seen in my friend circle, they understand their wives very well. Earlier, mothers used to work, cook food, but fathers used to work and take bath. But today, if I say that Harsh is not there, they say, don't do this, we will order from outside. I will hold him, you do this.
Sometimes we give leave to the house help, the child takes care, I cook food. Then he says, should I I make you an egg? You would feel like... I feel like I'm with my friend. We stay at home for months, we don't go out. We go to the mall and then come back.
Because we like staying at home. Because when you know that your friend is with you, your friend is at your home, you won't go to your friends. So people made me feel that I should say it. Because when it comes to writing, I can't say it.
I can't write. Raj, I can't write. That Bharti, tomorrow he is coming, so make something on him. I can't make it. You make a frame for me, that Bharti, you will leave from here, there are four people sitting here.
They are auto drivers. There are three watchmen here. I will talk to them. I will make some plans and bring them. I cannot make plans. I cannot make on the spot plans.
I am not the one who writes on paper. I will write everything. I went there and first I can't do it. I don't know what it is, but it's a God gift. It's really a God gift. All the stand-up comedians, it's a God gift that
they say something instantly. Because my comedy, when I'm sitting in the front, people say, Bhabhi ji, you're looking really good. You're blushing. that you look so good, you're so shy, look at her earrings, it looks like she's done this. I can do it at that time. Even today, the channel doesn't give me a script.
You're poor. Okay, her mom is coming, her mom makes a lot of dhoklas, so write something on this. I can't write. Did you write anything?
No. I'll say it there, it becomes there. That doesn't happen. But Harsh's is made properly. He writes everything down and brings it for me too.
I say, I won't remember. Then I can remember the pointers.
Why is this point?
Yes, yes. If I want to talk about curly hair, then curly hair. Okay? If I want to talk about curly hair, then curly hair. Okay? If you want to talk about hair, then hair. I have written pointers and I remember the topic. I don't remember the hair guy saying this.
Great combination.
Really, man.
He makes a frame and you go and break it.
Absolutely. He tells me that I will do it and you do it. And he used to write big pages for me. So I say, give me a waste pointer. And you will tell me to read the paper. I am reading it but I won't remember. But if you say 9 things, I will do 12 for you.
But if you write 9 things on the paper, I will only get 7. I won't be able to do that. I do it very well by listening, I cannot do well by reading.
Nice.
I don't know, maybe people laughed so much, that's why I got such a good husband, got such a good family, got such good in-laws, like friends, we don't feel that there is any old man in our house. We feel that he is of our age. I have made a tattoo of my father-in-law here. tattoo If someone would have been sad and I would have made them laugh and said, bless you, then I would have felt so blessed.
Husband is also very good. Whenever we work together, yes, there is a lot of difference in money, there is a lot of difference in everything, but there has never been a time when he would have said, you are so good, I couldn't do anything. No, I didn't enjoy it.
That's incredible. It has never happened. Really. That's incredible. That's incredible. That's incredible. That's incredible. That's incredible. That's incredible. That's incredible. That's incredible.
That's incredible. hit data ki me fake oh god to hit my my fake oh god to hit my my bowling chroma to Mars XR or bought a pre shit car tired a sunny give a podcast maybe a team or my a cha cha he bolo such me a say you such me or a pop up a fan of a video call with a high up come I'm a new they got or

Because I know when people say me, I feel happy. Thank you, ma'am. Thank you. We say it. I said, the podcast I watched, he said, this boy has done it, Bharti. He used to tell me again and again that he is a very well-mannered boy,
he is a very intelligent boy. So I used to say that I am doing wrong by going there, I am not serious. No, no, he will ask you the same things. But he is very understanding. He praises a lot. That's why he said that, brother, I am your fan. And I think that whoever you like, admire, openly say that I am your fan.
This will make you feel a little smaller that I said fan. We say your fan without any hesitation.
But thank you so much for coming.
How sweet man. I want to say it now. I enjoyed a lot and I was feeling very comfortable. I was watching your podcast for 2-3 days. I used to feel like what will I say? Because all the funny questions people ask, this was funny and serious, and I didn't get nervous at all,
answering any of the questions. I felt like, yes, man, these were some things that no one had ever asked. Like about mom, or about childhood. So I felt very, very, very, very good. Thank you so much for calling me.
And now I will not be afraid of you at all, Raj.
Thank you. I wanted you not to be scared, but thank you so much.
As an adult, I'll say this. God bless you. And genuinely, your podcasts are really good. They have a lot of sense. I feel that if the kids who are studying watch them, they will learn a lot from you. And the questions are very good. What did Harsh say?
The questions are very good. Whether you do it or your team does it, everyone is capable of appreciation. Because I feel that when your backbone is strong, your team, your people,
then you can do a lot of good. So God bless you. I feel that if you are at 55th in all India or the world, then you say that you will be at number 1 in 2.5 years, but I will manifest that you will be at number 1 in 1.5 years.
And it will be fun. And then you call me and say that I said 2.5 years, but you are at number 1 in 1.5 years. Then we will have a party.
Done.
Thank you so much.
Thank you so much. Thank you. Thank you. Where should I sit?
There's no mat under the bed.
This room is very sensible. I'm not wrong. You're very serious. Ever since I've been watching the podcast, Harsh has been saying that you're very serious.
Are you serious? No, no, nothing like that.
We're just talking. You must be running out of time. Today, I thought Shamani was some old man. Come, my dear. But he turned out to be a very young boy. Hi, Harsh!
So, Harsh told me to watch the podcast. Because he always used to say, I've seen things that are sensible. Business talks, I am not like that. So today for the first time I am scared of something. What are you saying? You are lying.
You are lying, it's okay.
And we will make you talk seriously too.
