Bharti Singh, one of India’s most loved comedians and television hosts, recently opened up about her difficult early life in a candid conversation with Raj Shamani on his YouTube channel. Known for her wit and infectious humor, Bharti revealed an emotional chapter of her life, her mother had tried multiple times to abort her before she was born.
When asked if it was true that her mother attempted to end the pregnancy, Bharti responded honestly. “Yes, teesra bachcha thi. Father kisi factory mein kaam karte thhe. Mummy housewife thi. Do bachche ho chuke thhe. Pehle toh pata hi nahi chalta tha ki arre main pregnant ho gayi? Do-teen mahine baad pata chala. Phir meri mummy ne itni sari jadi-bootiyan khayi, paer ke baal hoke pochey maare, papita kha liya, khajoor kha liye ki ye rahe hi na,” she recalled.

Despite all the attempts, Bharti was born against the odds. She shared how her mother delivered her without any medical assistance. “Par aana hi tha mujhe! Meri mummy ne khud paida kiya hai mujhe! Meri mummy ghar pe akeli thi raat ko mere papa ki duty thi. Umbilical cord kaatne ke liye bas dai ko bulaya jisne ₹60 li thi uske liye! Main ₹60 mein hui hoon. Aur aaj dekha maine mummy ko ₹1.60 crore ka ghar le kar diya hai,” she said with pride.
