Comedian saw extreme poverty after losing dad at 2, survived on leftovers, mom cleaned toilets; now among highest-paid in the industry
'Life is a tragedy when seen in close-up, but a comedy in long-shot.' This iconic quote by Charlie Chaplin rings true for many comedians who rise from marginalised backgrounds to rule the world of laughter. Kapil Sharma's journey from Punjab to Mumbai was anything but easy. The late Raju Srivastav drove an auto rickshaw in Mumbai before making it big. Bharti Singh, too, faced numerous hardships before earning the title of 'Laughter Queen' and becoming one of the highest-paid comedians in the industry. But Bharti's journey sets her apart from all the male comics, and she has made a name for herself in an industry that has largely been dominated by men. Bharti was just two years old when her father passed away, and all the financial responsibility of the family fell on her mother and two elder siblings — a sister and a brother. In an old interaction, Bharti had revealed that to keep the household running, her siblings had to give up their studies and start working in a blanket factory. She also shared that her mother worked multiple jobs, from making 'Maata Rani ki Dupatta (ceremonial clothes)' to doing household chores in other people's homes. She had told Times of India, 'My focus was always poverty. I was two years old when my father passed away. My brothers and sisters gave up their jobs. They worked in a factory. They carried heavy blankets, blankets that we could never have used. They stitched them night after night.' While speaking to Brut India, Bharti admitted to experiencing extreme hunger during her childhood. She said their financial condition was so dire that her mother had to work in people's homes, cleaning their houses and toilets. From there, she would bring home leftover food that Bharti and her siblings would eat. She said, 'There was so much hunger and poverty. I used to get depressed during festivals. We would do Lakshmi puja after my mom would get the sweet box from work. I would go and stand near other kids bursting crackers so that others would think I burst them. When my mom would work at people's homes, I used to sit near the door. She would clean toilets. While leaving, they would give her leftover food. Their stale food would become our fresh food. And that would make our day.' She added, 'We have eaten salt and roti but now we have dal, sabzi and roti. I just hope my family always has at least dal to eat. I will never want to face the situation or have my family go through that.' Bharti started doing theatre and comedy shows during college in Punjab, and that's where her talent was first discovered. She soon got an audition call for Comedy Circus. After she gave her audition in Amritsar for the show, she was called to Mumbai. 'I was briefed about the show and took my first-ever flight, to Mumbai with my mother,' she told India Today. After doing back-to-back comedy shows on TV, Bharti became a household name, with her character 'Lali' becoming a fan favourite. She also participated in the dance reality show Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 5 and soon moved on to hosting popular shows like Dance Deewane, Hunarbaaz: Desh Ki Shaan, Sa Re Ga Ma Pa L'il Champs 2022, and the recent Laughter Chefs – Unlimited Entertainment. She also runs her own YouTube channel Bharti TV, and another channel LOL (Life of Limbachiyaas) with her husband and writer Haarsh Limbachiyaa, where they share vlogs. She also boasts 9 million followers on Instagram. According to a report in ETimes, Bharti is among the highest-paid comedians in the industry and was paid between Rs 10 to Rs 12 lakhs per episode for hosting Laughter Chefs Season 2. According to TOI, Bharti owns several high-end vehicles, including an Audi Q5, Mercedes-Benz GL 350, and BMW X7. With an estimated net worth of around Rs 30 crore, she is among the richest comedians in the country. Bharti also owns a luxurious 2BHK home in Mumbai, valued at approximately Rs 6 crore.

Rohit Purohit continues to win hearts with his portrayal of Armaan Poddar in the long-running StarPlus show Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai. With 16 months of leading Rajan Shahi's iconic daily soap, Rohit's journey has been both celebrated and critically appreciated. This week, the show reclaimed its top spot on the TRP charts, proving once again that audience connect lies in consistent storytelling and this is something that Rohit strongly believes in. While riding high on success, Rohit opened up about what it truly takes to keep a show like Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai relevant and impactful. Speaking to the Times of India, he shared his thoughts on how Indian television has evolved and why emotional storytelling remains the backbone of long-standing shows. Rohit Purohit On Indian Television Shows Rohit believes that a show can only make a lasting impact if it stays rooted in its core values. 'A show can only stay relevant and impactful if it is rooted in its core values. You need to be clear about the story you're telling and stay honest with it. The narrative has to reflect the times and still hold on to the emotional essence that drew people initially," he shared. Using Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai as an example, he pointed out, 'It has always celebrated family bonds, relationships, festivals, conflicts and reconciliations and that the emotional core has remained intact. That's what keeps people connected." Rohit Purohit on Social Media's Role In Shaping Modern Viewership Rohit also acknowledged how drastically the audience landscape has changed in the age of social media. He shared, 'The audience today is very expressive and engaged. Their feedback does influence creative decisions. Loyal viewers often notice small clues, track BTS updates and try to predict upcoming twists." At the same time, he believes storytelling needs its own pace. 'You can't always rush or change things just because of a reaction. Sometimes, you have to trust the process and the long arc of storytelling," he added. Rohit Purohit On What Keeps A Long-Running Show Fresh? While the legacy of YRKKH is undeniable, sustaining freshness over the years is a challenge. He said, 'The biggest challenge is keeping the entire team emotionally and creatively invested over time. You can't ignore when a track isn't working or when a character no longer serves the story. But changes must still respect the original soul of the show." Rohit Purohit On The Power Of Strong Characters According to Rohit, character development holds as much weight as narrative twists. He shared, 'If your characters are strong and consistent, the audience stays emotionally invested. But a twist at the right moment adds energy and movement to the character's core for the sake of shock value. It has to feel natural and earned." Rohit Purohit on Why Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai Remains Timeless Reflecting on how YRKKH continues to strike a chord after more than a decade, Rohit said, 'Life itself has changed, issues are more complex, layered. So the show must evolve, but not lose sight of its heart. The emotional grounding is what makes a show timeless." He concluded with a thought that captures the essence of the show's success, saying, 'Ultimately, it's about honesty, passion and storytelling that adapts while staying true to the soul." Recently, Rohit Purohit won the Fan Favourite – Actor award at the prestigious Indian Telly Awards, while co-actor Samridhii Shukla and the entire Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai team swept multiple accolades. The celebration was not just for a milestone achieved, but for a legacy being upheld. With a passionate cast, visionary creators, and deeply involved viewers, Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai shows no signs of slowing down. And actors like Rohit Purohit play a crucial role in holding the heart of the show together. First Published: August 06, 2025, 17:28 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
