Comedian Bharti Singh reveals being inappropriately touched during initial days of her career
Comedian-actress Bharti Singh started her journey with stand-up comedy and rose to fame with her child character ‘Lalli’. Over the years, she has not only ruled the comedy shows but has also become a successful host. Recently, Bharti appeared on actor and host, Maniesh Paul’s podcast where she made several heartbreaking revelations about her past and childhood. The comedienne revealed how during the initial days of her career, she was touched inappropriately by show coordinators but she couldn’t raise her voice as she didn’t know the difference between right and wrong.
She opened up about coming through extreme poverty, and the initial challenges she faced in the entertainment industry as a woman, before becoming a star.
“The coordinators ( of shows) misbehaved sometimes. They would rub their hands on the back. I would know it’s not a good feeling, but then I would think that he’s like my uncle, he can’t be bad. Maybe I am wrong and he is right. So I thought this doesn’t feel right. I had no understanding. I have the confidence to fight now, for my body, for my honour. I can now say ‘what is the matter, what are you looking at, go out we are changing now’. I can speak up now, but I had no courage back then,” Bharti said.
