Bharti Singh on having body image issues
The comedian has been the subject of trolls for her body weight since the beginning of her career. She opened up about this on several shows and recently in an interview with us, she talked about how it affected her. Bharti revealed that she has been called all kinds of names, like “moti, gendi, haathi.” However, she accepted that she is fat even before others started calling her out for body weight. Talking about this, she says, “Main toh halwai ki beti nahi hu. Main toh middle class bhi nahi, poor class se hu, aab waysa khana kha kha k hi main moti ho gayi, toh kya karu?” Bharti shared that she was happy with her body weight back then and even today, she has no complaints about it.
‘Moti maar degi isko’
Bharti Singh reveals that in spite of being in love with each other when she decided to get married to Haarsh, people trolled them. She believes that people still have the notion that fat girls should only get married to fat boys. Bharti shared “I know main moti thi, but mere life hai, main kisise bhi shaadi karu.” Both Harsh and Bharti had to hear toxic comments. Since Haarsh has glasses, everyone around them joked that Bharti will break them. Although they chose to ignore the comments, deep down it affected them. But they didn’t talk about it.
However, Bharti feels that while trolls would always mock them, there are people around who showered them with their blessings and love. The love of the people is always stronger and made all the difference. She even talked about how she had to convince her family members also about their wedding.
