Cinema VinesIn a candid interview with PTI, Mumbai‑based comedian Bharti Singh revealed that she deliberately practices self‑censorship in her performances, choosing to keep her material “clean” to suit a family‑friendly audience. Singh explained that she is mindful of her mother’s presence when she writes jokes, and that she steers clear of sensitive topics such as politics and religion, instead focusing on everyday subjects like food and family.
Singh’s admission comes amid growing pressure on stand‑up comics to produce content that captures viewers’ attention on social media. She said that the platform’s reach forces comedians to constantly innovate, but she maintains a distinct style that she believes resonates with her loyal fan base. “Everyone has a different style of making people laugh, some may resort to cheap jokes, some adhere to clean humour. However, I keep my audience base in mind, which is a family audience,” she told the outlet.
Reflecting on her early days, Singh recalled feeling nervous when she first entered the industry after graduating from college in Amritsar. She first appeared on television in 2008 on the reality show “The Great Indian Laughter Challenge,” where she earned the nickname “Lalli” and finished as the second runner‑up. Her breakthrough came with popular shows such as “Comedy Circus,” “The Kapil Sharma Show,” and “The Khatra Khatra,” where she showcased her childlike persona and quick wit.
Over time, Singh says the audience has become like family, and their affection has given her the confidence to experiment further. “Laughter is the best medicine, and I’m glad to have got the opportunity to do so,” she added. She also hinted at future projects, including a one‑hour stand‑up show with her husband and producer Harsh Limbachiyaa, which they hope to launch on an OTT platform.
Currently, Singh co‑hosts “Indian Game Show” with Limbachiyaa, a program that blends television stars, social media influencers, and entertainment personalities into chaotic, humorous games. She described the show’s aim as pure entertainment, likening it to an amusement park where celebrities simply enjoy themselves. “If you see the episodes and the promos, you will see the celebrities simply enjoying the show,” she said, noting that much of the humor is spontaneous.
