TV’s comedy queen Bharti Singh reveals she was nearly aborted, her mother paid Rs 60 for her birth. Now she gifts mom a Rs 1.60 crore house

Bharti Singh’s journey from humble beginnings to becoming the queen of the comedy world is a story of hard work and love. Born into a financially struggling family as the third child, Bharti’s mother initially wanted to abort her due to the hardships they faced. Despite this, Bharti was born. Today, she has transformed her life, becoming a top comedian and gifting her mother a queen-size house, showing how far she has come.

Bharti Singh born against all odds, raised with love

Bharti Singh was born into a modest family where her father worked in a factory, and her mother was a homemaker. Growing up with financial constraints, the family struggled to make ends meet. Bharti recently shared at Raj Shamani podcast that her mother, worried about the added burden, initially tried to prevent her birth. She shared that her mother tried various traditional remedies and rituals. Despite these efforts, Bharti was born at home while her father was away on night duty. Her mother delivered her alone and only called a midwife to cut the umbilical cord, who charged Rs 60. Bharti refers to herself as a "Rs 60 bachha" because of this.

Today, Bharti gifted her mother a house worth Rs 1.60 crore and shared that before starting any work, she closes her eyes and envisions her mother’s happy face. For Bharti, her mother means everything, she is like a god and the most important part of her life.


Although she was initially considered an unwanted child since her parents already had a son and a daughter, they ultimately gave her a lot of love and care. After Bharti’s father passed away, her mother single-handedly raised all the children, facing financial struggles with courage and determination. This strength and love deeply shaped Bharti’s outlook on life and success.
