Bharti Singh is among the richest comedians in the country, with an estimated net worth of Rs. 30 crore. From living in a luxurious abode reportedly worth Rs. 6 crore to owning a series of expensive cars like Audi Q5, Mercedes Benz GL-350, and BMW X7, Bharti has a luxurious lifestyle. However, none of it came painlessly to the ace comedian. Whether we talk about her personal struggle in India's male-dominant comedy space or how she lifted her family from poverty, Bharti's life is perfect for a Bollywood biographical drama.
Bharti Singh has 8.8 million followers on Instagram and also runs a YouTube channel with her husband, Haarsh Limbachiyaa by the name, LOL (Life of Limbachiyaa's). The couple's YouTube channel has 6.57 million subscribers and has uploaded 1,308 videos in a span of almost three years so far. Apart from creating content for Instagram and YouTube, Bharti continues to dominate the television space. In the year 2024, she was seen in Khatron Ke Khiladi and is reportedly going to be seen next in the second season of Laughter Chefs.
According to a report in TOI, Bharti Singh was the highest-paid celebrity in Laughter Chefs season 1, as she received a remuneration of Rs. 10-12 lakhs per episode. The vast sum speaks volumes about her stature and relevance in the industry. It's pretty inspiring how Bharti Singh continues to bag new shows, as she is also a doting mommy who always fulfils her motherly duties. Not only this, but the way Bharti stepped out of poverty and changed her family's fortune is a story that everyone needs to listen to.
For the uninitiated, Bharti Singh was born on July 3, 1984, in Amritsar into a middle-class family. Unfortunately, her father died when she was just 2 years old, after which her family went into poverty. After the unfortunate demise of her father, Bharti's mother raised her and two more kids, Dhiraj and Pinky single-handedly. To raise her children, Bharti's mother, Kamla Singh worked as a maid and even cleaned toilets.
It was a heartbreaking phase for Kamla Singh and her three kids, as she used to feed them with people's leftovers. As they grew up, Bharti and her siblings worked in a factory where they used to stitch blankets. Once, in an old interview with a leading news portal, Bharti Singh recalled the heartbreaking time when her mother used to bring leftovers from the family where she used to work as a maid. The comedian shared that someone's leftovers were fresh food for her family. Opening up about the same, she said:

"Mummy doosron ke ghar kaam karti thi main baithi rehti thi. Toilet saaf karti thi. Phir wo sabzi bachi rehti thi to bolte the le jaana bach gayi hai. Unki baasi sabzi hamari fresh ho jaati thi. Hamara poora din ban jaata tha."
Only some people are aware of the fact that Bharti Singh used to give a lot of auditions at NCC Camps. During one of her auditions at the NCC Camps, iconic comedian, Sudesh Lehri discovered her talent and cast her in a play. It was a major break for Bharti as it gave her the much-needed opportunity to showcase her rare talent. After this, Bharti's talent crossed paths with Kapil Sharma, who was so impressed with her talent that he advised her to give auditions for The Great India Laughter Challenge. She was selected for the show and finished as the second runner-up.
Once, in an old interview, Bharti Singh opened up about the struggles she faced in her life and shared how she never disturbs anyone. The comedian shared an interesting anecdote related to it that speaks volumes about her mother, Kamla Singh's strength. The comedian shared that her mother delivered her as a child alone. Recalling the incident, Bharti added that her mother called a lady to cut the umbilical cord and gave her Rs. 60 for the same. She said:
"Mai ne bola tha mai kisi ko tang nahi karugi kyunki mai ne apni mummy ko dekha tha. Unhone tang nai kra kyunki mai meri mummy ka khud ka paida kiya hua bacha hoon. Vo akeli thi, bas vo cord katne ke liye dai ko bulaya tha jisne 60 rupay liye the. Toh mai 60 Rs ka bacha hoon."
The way Bharti Singh has changed her life is truly inspiring, and it's quite understandable, as she is the daughter of a fearsome lady who didn't surrender in front of obstacles. The way Bharti and Kamla Singh have experienced poverty and continue trying to do everything in their power to come out of it is a life lesson for everyone. We hope Bharti continues to achieve more success in her life.
