Bharti Singh

#15/100 in #100extraordinarywomen

Today’s woman is short and sweet – quite literally. Standing at just 5 feet tall is Bharti Singh, the cutest stand-up comedian in India today. The reason she has made it to this list? Simply because she is currently the only known female in a career essentially dominated by men. Moreover, adding icing to the cake is the fact that unlike male stand-up comedians who have basically all thrived on double-meaning, pun-filled, typically adults-only acts, Bharti is essentially a household name because she provides wholesome, unadulterated, family entertainment which you can sit with your whole family – including kids – and enjoy.

Bharti Singh was born on 3 July 1986 in Amritsar, Punjab, India. She is a post graduate in history. During her college days, she was a gold medallist in pistol shooting and archery at the national level. But later she left it due to monetary problems. She started her career as a comedian and was the second runner-up of stand-up comedy reality series "The Great Indian Laughter Challenge (Season 4)" on STAR One, where she received acclaim for her comedy characters including a child character named "Lalli". She has appeared in several TV reality and comedy shows and has also won many awards. Apart from shows, she has also appeared in Punjabi films like "Ek Noor" and "Yamle Jatt Yamle". She made her Bollywood début with the film "Khiladi 786". She has also showed her dancing talent in "Jhalak Dikhla Jaa". Currently she is seen in a comedy series on Colors. She has won many awards as well for her comedy acts like prestigious ITA Award, Indian Telly Jury Award and Lions Gold Award among others.

Bharti Singh was born into a middle class family. She was just two years old when her father died and her mother was left alone to handle three kids all by herself. Her mother preferred to struggle alone than to settle down with anyone else. Bharti, along with her elder sister and younger brother, had a tough childhood in her father's absence. However, having struggled her way to popularity, she is now known to charge almost at par with her male counterparts for each show. She’s an avid car lover and now owns cars like Mercedes and Audi Q5. According to the sources, Bharti is currently engaged to Harsh Limbachiyaa, who is the well-known writer of comedy shows on TV.
