The Kapil Sharma Show’s Bharti Singh Recalls Phase Of Extreme Poverty, Reveals Mother Would ‘Clean Toilets’
One of the most-loved comedians in India, Bharti Singh charges a bomb for comedy shows. However, did you know that there was a time when her family was going through extreme poverty?
Bharti Singh, one of the most successful comedians today, once faced extreme poverty when she was growing up. In a recent podcast, she revealed that her father had passed away when she was only two years old, and her siblings had to work in a blanket factory to make ends meet. Even though she has overcome those difficult times, she still hates the smell of blankets and the sound of the machine from the factory.
Bharti believes that most comedians come from humble backgrounds, and poverty is often a driving force behind their success. She recalled how seeing people waste food would make her angry, and she would even consider eating the leftovers herself.
BHARTI SINGH REVEALS HER MOTHER'S STRUGGLES
Bharti's
mother
worked
as
a
domestic
help
and
would
return
leftover
or
stale
food
from
her
employers'
homes,
which
became
their
fresh
food.
Despite
the
hardships,
Bharti
remained
determined
to
make
a
better
life
for
herself
and
her
family.
She
told
ETimes,
"When
my
mom
would
work
at
people's
homes,
I
used
to
sit
near
the
door.
She
would
clean
toilets.
While
leaving,
they
would
give
her
leftover
food.
Their
stale
food
would
become
our
fresh
food.
And
that
would
make
our
day.
Today
I
tell
my
mom,
whatever
I
have
done,
earned
is
only
because
of
you.
The
amount
of
love
I
have
for
my
10-months-old
son,
I
love
my
mother
much
more
than
that."
