Mocking or insulting a person based on the looks or body shape is something which should be completely stopped, as it may not only reduce the confidence of the person but also make him/her suffer with depression. However, there are some people who are totally different from others and they love to make fun of themselves to make people laugh.
Indian comedienne Bharti Singh is one of those wonderful celebrities who have never shied away from making fun of her own fat body which shows the high level of confidence that she possess.
But you will be surprised to know that the laughing queen has shed nearly 10 Kgs and become more beautiful than ever.
From this:
To this:
The change is definitely visible:
Smarter than ever:
With her ‘Baliye’ Harsh:
Looking cute!
Commendable!
Giving inspiration to us all!
Bharti has been working in many shows at the same time and managing them in a perfect manner. She feels that her fatness is the wish of God.
Fat-shamed since childhood:
Bharti was often mocked and fat-shamed in her childhood. Just like every Indian mother who is worried about her daughter’s marriage, her mom also used to ask her to lose weight, saying “You have to marry, Bharti”.
She wore men’s T-shirts and jeans:
The comedienne regrets for not being able to wear stylish dresses in childhood, as she says,
“Double XXL readymade dresses hadn’t hit the market; there were no plus sizes. I had to buy men’s T-shirts and jeans. I used to curse God for having made me fat.”
When her life changed:
When Bharti took part in The Great Indian Laughter Challenge, she thanked God for making her fat; however, it took years to realize it. In her words,
“Yahaan bhi motaape ki baat hoti thi (They spoke about being fat here too). But I won the second position. When I joined TV, I started taking digs at myself; that is what people started loving me for. I realised that my fatness was actually God’s gift, and I better respect that.”
Green tea:
When Bharti took part in “Nach Baliye”, she had to give around 6 hours daily to rehearsals and resultantly, she shed 10 kgs. Bharti says,
“I don’t want to become sookdi (super slim). I neither go to a gym, nor do I have a dietician.”
Harsh, her partner in the dance reality show, advised her to take green tea and it actually worked. As per her,
“He told me to have green tea after every meal. People are commenting that I am losing weight.”
Making jokes on herself:
She makes jokes on herself just to make audience laugh but no one can dare to say insulting things on her face.
“Yes, I do make jokes about myself like ‘humara to bhaada bhi double lagata hai’ (rickshaw fare will be double for me)… But I do this only on TV, saamne se koi bolke toh dekhe (no one dare say this to my face)…”
No diet plan:
Bharti loves homemade food and can’t compromise much with her diet, as she says,
“I’m a Punjaban who eats parathas and omelette. I shoot till late and have dinner at 5am. I have lunch at 2pm, that’s why my health suffers sometimes.”
For fitness, she is planning to join a gym as well but before opting for a weight-loss plan, she feels the need of a medical check-up.
We applaud Bharti for this transformation and wish that her journey becomes more successful in future!
