Bharti Singh talks about the time when she had to do a comedy show, while her mother was admitted at the ICU

Comedian Bharti Singh has discussed she was taught that if one has to become an artist, then they should understand that no matter what happens, the show must go on. During a new interaction, Bharti remembered the time when her mom was admitted to the ICU due to a stomach ulcer, and she had a comedy show performance on that day and how she managed it. Bharti and her significant other Haarsh Limbachiyaa host reality shows The Khatra Khatra Show and Hunarbaaz: Desh Ki Shaan.

In an interview with Siddharth Kannan, Bharti discussed the troublesome time when her mom was in the ICU and she had a comedy show performance to do, for which she was not paid. She said, “When I did my first show The Great Indian Laughter Challenge, we got a hotel stay sponsored by the show. I and my mother had this habit of eating only home-cooked meals and by consuming hotel food for several days my mother got a stomach ulcer, she was in the ICU and I had to go to my shoot and make people laugh for the semifinals of the show on that day.”

She added, “When I was at the backstage, I was thinking about my mother, who was in the ICU and I kept on thinking that I am not even sure if I will win the show and I am not getting any money from here because I am a contestant and still I have to stay here and leave my mother in this condition. I felt what kind of a life is this, at that point, I realised that if you have to become an artist you have to keep these personal things aside, you have to work for the audience, you have to make them laugh. Aap stage pe nahi keh sakte ki aaj thoda kam hasaungi meri mummy hospital mein hain please taaliyan bajaiyega (You can’t go on the stage and say that my mother is in the hospital so I will not be very funny but still clap for me).”
