Bharti Singh opened up about her son, Gola's naughtiness and called a him a 'strange' combination of her and Haarsh. Comedian Bharti Singh and writer Haarsh Limbachiyaa are among the most popular couples on Indian television today. Bharti hails from a Punjabi family, while Haarsh is a Gujarati. Despite having a loving bond, which they also share with fans on YouTube, Bharti believes that a Punjabi and a Gujarati should not have kids together. Bharti recently appeared on Raj Shamani's podcast and joked about how their son, Gola, is a 'strange' combination of both cultures. Bharti Singh said, 'Nahi karni chahiye kyuki unka bachcha bada kharab nikalta hai. Humara bachcha na… ab tak humare teen phone balti main ja chuke hain pani main. Kayi cheezein, mugs, towel, Haarsh ke kachche padosiyon ke ghar uda deta hai voh. Bohot zyada mujhe aisa lagta hai ki… pata nahi saare aise hi shararati hote hain, humara toh pehla hi hai. Bohot zyada shararati hai." She added, 'Mujhe aisa lagta hai yeh combination kuch ajeeb nahi ho gaya, ghee aur dhokle ka? Thoda ajeeb sa ho gaya hai. Main toh kitna bolti hoon, vlog pe bhi bola hai kayi baar, ki agar kisi Gujarati aur Punjabi ko pyaar ho raha hai toh pehli hi soch lo kyuki humara bachcha aisa hai." Bharti, Haarsh's Love Story Bharti and Haarsh first met on the sets of a comedy show, where Haarsh was working as a scriptwriter. Their professional chemistry soon turned into a beautiful romance that captured fans' hearts. The duo tied the knot on December 3, 2017, in a grand destination wedding in Goa. Since their marriage, Bharti and Haarsh have become one of Indian television's most popular power couples. They have worked together on several shows, including Khatra Khatra Khatra and Dance Deewane, charming audiences with their comic timing and on-screen camaraderie.

Geeta Basra Reveals Harbhajan Singh Asked Yuvraj Singh For Her Number: 'He Saw My Poster…'
Last Updated: Geeta Basra may have made her debut in films with Emraan Hashmi, but it was cricketer Harbhajan Singh who quickly became the biggest twist in her life. Geeta Basra was only 21 when she entered Bollywood with Aditya Datt's 2006 film Dil Diya Hai. She reunited with Emraan Hashmi the following year in The Train. Around the same time, she crossed paths with Harbhajan Singh, who had already set his heart on marrying her. 'He was very clear. He saw my poster, and it was probably love at first sight for him. He asked Yuvi (Yuvraj Singh) for my number. Obviously, Yuvi has a lot of friends," Geeta recalled in a chat with BHARTI TV. Harbhajan reached out to her soon after, though Geeta didn't reply at first. 'They'd just won the World Cup. So a couple of days later, I'd messaged, 'Well done! Congratulations!' That's it. We got in touch again. When we met, he was very clear he didn't want friendship and said, 'Tere se hi shaadi karunga'. I said, 'Shaadi?' I was only 21." The actress admitted that she was still trying to build her career and worried that being linked with a cricketer could damage her chances. 'Fifteen years ago, it was a very different time for women. Even if you were spotted with someone, your career was over. I lost out on four films because of the news that I was getting married," she shared. Despite her hesitation, Geeta eventually said yes after ten months. 'I told him the day you'd score 300 wickets, I'd say yes. A couple of days later, he got 300 wickets. So I said let's give it a shot. Because all my friends told me he's a very good guy. He's a star, but doesn't have the attitude of a star. He's humble. He's also a Punjabi like me. That matters a lot." Geeta and Harbhajan tied the knot in 2015. The actress said the decision wasn't easy as she had doubts about cultural differences and loyalty. But Harbhajan proved her wrong. 'Sometimes, we just need to know, can I spend the rest of my life with this partner? Because we're from different countries so there's a cultural difference. Then he's so known so I was wondering if he's loyal. But he's beyond that. He's a very grounded person." The couple welcomed daughter Hinaya Heer Plaha in 2016 and son Jovan Veer Singh Plaha in 2021. Geeta has stayed away from films since 2016 while Harbhajan announced his retirement from cricket. Joking about family plans, she added, 'He's very fond of kids. So am I. But it's not possible today. We've to go through a lot with pregnancy, post pregnancy." First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's. Please keep discussions respectful and constructive.

Punjabi-origin woman behind Friends star Matthew Perry overdose death
A Punjabi-origin woman accused of supplying the drugs that led to the death of Friends star Matthew Perry has agreed to plead guilty to multiple federal charges, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Central District of California announced Monday. Jasveen Sangha, 42, who holds dual citizenship of the United States and the United Kingdom, has been described by prosecutors as a prolific Los Angeles drug dealer known in her circles as the 'Ketamine Queen.' Sangha, who lived in North Hollywood, built her trade around selling ketamine and other narcotics, often boasting of her reputation among buyers. She admitted to providing the ketamine that caused Perry's fatal overdose in October 2023 and will formally enter her plea in the coming weeks. With her agreement, Sangha becomes the fifth and final defendant in the case to strike a deal with federal prosecutors, avoiding a trial that had been scheduled for September. According to the Justice Department, Sangha has agreed to plead guilty to five counts—maintaining a drug-involved premises, three counts of distribution of ketamine, and one count of distribution of ketamine resulting in death or serious bodily injury. The charges carry a statutory maximum sentence of up to 45 years in federal prison. 'A San Fernando Valley woman has agreed to plead guilty to five federal criminal charges, including that she provided the ketamine that ultimately resulted in the overdose death of actor Matthew Perry in October 2023,' the U.S. Attorney's Office said in a statement. Prosecutors said Sangha worked with co-defendant Erik Fleming, 55, of Hawthorne, to supply Perry with large quantities of ketamine. In October 2023, Sangha and Fleming sold 51 vials of the drug to Perry's live-in assistant, Kenneth Iwamasa, 60, of Toluca Lake. On October 28, 2023, Iwamasa injected Perry with at least three doses of Sangha's ketamine, leading to the actor's death. After news of the death broke, Sangha allegedly used encrypted apps to discuss covering her tracks, instructing Fleming to 'Delete all our messages.' Court filings also revealed that Sangha admitted to a prior case involving another victim, Cody McLaury, who died in August 2019 after purchasing ketamine from her. In March 2023, law enforcement searched Sangha's North Hollywood residence and seized 1.7 kilograms of pressed methamphetamine pills, 79 vials of liquid ketamine, counterfeit Xanax, MDMA tablets, powdered cocaine and ketamine, as well as cash and drug-trafficking equipment. Sangha admitted to using the residence as a base for distributing narcotics since at least 2019. Sangha has been in federal custody since August 2024. At sentencing, she faces a statutory maximum of 20 years for the drug-premises charge, up to 10 years for each ketamine distribution count, and up to 15 years for the distribution resulting in death or serious bodily injury—totalling 45 years. The case has been investigated by the Los Angeles Police Department, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service. Perry, who rose to global fame playing Chandler Bing in the hit sitcom Friends, was 54 when he died. His struggles with addiction were widely documented in his memoir and interviews, lending his death a tragic resonance for millions of fans worldwide.
