Bharti Singh opens up about falling ill post-Thailand trip and highlights the importance of regular health checkups.
Comedian and television host Bharti Singh, best known for her infectious energy, recently opened up about a health scare following her return from Thailand. In a candid vlog, the Laughter Chefs 2 star revealed that she has been feeling unusually weak, lethargic, and feverish over the past few days, prompting her husband Haarsh Limbachiyaa to schedule a blood test.
'Ever since I got back from Bangkok, I've been feeling very low and exhausted," she shared. 'Now I'm worried I may have a fever. Haarsh has arranged for a blood test at home. I get really scared with all this."
Despite her phobia of medical procedures, Bharti emphasized the importance of regular health screenings. 'I've been crying since morning because of the blood test," she said in Hindi, 'but it was necessary. I'm planning to get a full-body checkup done soon, even though I'm terrified of syringes. These days, with so many health problems around, it's important to get tested every six months. I'm also working on improving my lifestyle."
The comic also reflected on whether the fatigue could be due to overexertion, mentioning that she's been unable to even stand because of weakness.
Experts agree that returning from travel, especially work-related trips, can often take a toll on the body. Dr. Manjusha Agarwal, senior consultant of internal medicine at Gleneagles Hospital, Parel, Mumbai, explained, 'Fever and fatigue after travel are not uncommon. This could be due to viral infections, dengue, malaria, typhoid, or even a simple flu caught during the trip. The body is exposed to different climates, food, and pathogens while traveling, which can increase the risk of illness."
She cautioned against self-medication, adding, 'If a fever lasts more than two days, you should definitely see a doctor. Diagnosis usually involves a physical exam, blood tests, and reviewing your travel history. It's essential to follow medical advice rather than trying to treat it yourself."
Dr. Agarwal further explained that treatment depends on the underlying cause. 'If it's a viral fever, rest and supportive care are usually enough. But in cases of malaria or typhoid, specific medications are necessary. Staying hydrated, eating simple meals, and getting enough rest are crucial to recovery. And when traveling, always take precautions to stay healthy."
Bharti's experience is a timely reminder that even the most energetic among us can be vulnerable—and that prevention, early diagnosis, and self-care remain our best defences.
