Bharti Singh Recalls Her Mother Tried To Abort Her, ‘Aaj Maine Mummy Ko Rs 1.60 Cr Ka Ghar Diya!’

Bharti Singh, one of India’s most loved comedians, has always been open about her difficult childhood and the struggles her family faced. In a recent appearance on Raj Shamani’s podcast, she shared a deeply emotional story about her birth. Bharti revealed that her parents, who were already raising two children, did not want to have a third child due to financial hardships. Her mother, unable to afford a medical abortion, tried natural ways to terminate the pregnancy.

Bharti recalled, “Phir meri mummy ne itni saari jadibutiyaan baba logon se milke khaayi, paer ke bal baith ke poche maare, garam cheez-papita, khajur-kha liya ki yeh rahe na. But I had to come.” Despite her mother’s attempts, Bharti was born. She revealed that her mother delivered her at home without any help, as her father was on night duty. A midwife was later called to cut the cord, for which she was paid only Rs 60. “She gave birth to me alone, just called a dai to cut the cord, who took Rs 60. Main Rs 60 main hui hoon. Main Rs 60 ka bachcha hoon. Aur aaj dekha maine mummy ko Rs 1.60 crore ka ghar le kar diya hai,” Bharti shared proudly.

After Bharti’s father passed away, the burden of raising the children fell entirely on her mother. To provide for the family, she worked in factories, cleaned toilets, and even worked as a maid, often bringing home leftover food to feed her children. In an interview with Neena Gupta for Brut India, Bharti shared how her mother’s resilience shaped her life.

Calling her mother the most amazing woman, Bharti credited her for her success. In an interview with BollywoodLife, she revealed that it was her mother who brought her to The Laughter Challenge auditions, which became the turning point of her career.
