Bharti Singh is an established comedienne and host in India. She was among the first few women to do stand-up comedy and rise to popularity with her craft. Today, she is among the highest-paid names in Indian television. Recently, she revealed that her mother had 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."
