MUMBAI: Comedian Bharti Singh said that she is quite happy doing comedy and has no plans of switching to another genre.
“I am happy doing comedy as usmein koi rona-dhona ya planning aur plotting nahi hai, unlike daily soaps. Also, if I do a daily soap, I will have to wear a sari, which I can’t! Comedy karna ek bahut mazey ka kaam hai and mujhe actually mazey karne ke paise milte hai.
I am blessed that I am doing comedy,” says Bharti, who was in Lucknow recently for her upcoming show. She added, “Comedy is forever, and by God’s grace, I don’t have any competition in that genre. Ladke bohot hain comedy mein, but you will hardly see a girl doing comedy. Girls today are more interested in doing saas-bahu shows than becoming a comedian.”
Bharti’s weight has always remained a talking point for people, but she says she’s as fit as a fiddle. “My weight has been constant for a long time. I go for a full-body check-up every six months. I’ve never had any weight issues. Main jab paida hui thi, tab hi overweight bachha thi. Plus, being a Punjabi, I’m fond of eating. I have no plans of losing weight. In fact, my weight is my biggest blessing today,” she smiles.
