Comedy Queen Bharti Singh has been drawing a lot of praise for her new fit avatar. The chubby comic has chosen the path of fitness and looks way slimmer. Bharti has lost almost 15 kgs in a year. She talks about it in an interview with BT and says, “Yes, I have come down from 91 to 76 kilos. Even I am surprised that I have lost so much weight, but I am equally happy because I feel healthy and fit. Abhi saans nahi chadhti aur halka halka feel hota hai. Meri diabetes aur asthma bhi control mein aa gaye hain. I follow intermittent fasting. I don’t eat between 7 pm and 12 pm. I just attack food post 12 pm (laughs!). My body doesn’t accept dinner any later than 7 pm. Maine 30-32 saal bahut khaana khaaya hai aur uske baad ek saal apni body ko time diya toh body ne sab accept kiya.”
She further adds, “I have become a good girl now. The lockdown has taught us a lot of things, including the importance of family and also loving yourself. Aap hain toh family hai aur kaam hai. Agar aap khud se pyaar nahi karenge toh koi aapse pyaar nahi karega. Bada achha lagta hai apne aap ko pyaar karna aur screen par dekhna. My body has transformed. Today, when I look at myself, mera muh itna patla lagta hai aur khud itni patli lagti hoon. Though I have hit a plateau, I am proud of myself. When I was overweight, people called me cute. Ab seedha toh koi moti toh bol nahi sakte toh cover-up karne ke liye cute aur bubbly bol dete the. Also, even before others could call me fat, I decided to make fun of my weight. I would call myself haathi and gende ka bachcha, which everyone found funny. Ab saare kehte hain ki kitni patli ho gayi hai tu! However, they continue to call me cute even after I have lost weight. I guess that’s because people never found me hot nor do I want that tag. I like being cute.”
Bharti, who is currently seen in The Kapil Sharma Show and Dance Deewane, also admits that her husband, Haarsh Limbachiyaa, is loving her new avatar. She adds, “He likes me, but also gets irritated at times when I refuse to eat outside food. He thinks that I act pricey (laughs!). He doesn’t like me following intermittent fasting and tells me to stop it. Usko mere gaal, double chin, pet ka thulthulapan kheechne nahi mil raha hai na toh kabhi kabhi chidh jaata hai .”
Bharti also talked about her plans for having a baby and shared, “Absolutely. Haarsh and I are planning a baby. When that happens, I will be the first one to announce it. I don’t believe in hiding anything about my personal life. Log mujhe itna pyaar karte hain and I am sure that they will love me and care for me, even more, when I get pregnant. I just wish to keep working and performing on stage through my pregnancy. Isse main bhi, Haarsh bhi aur hamaara bachcha bhi khush rahenge,” she concludes.
