Bharti Singh, a popular comedian and actor, recently addressed the backlash she received for being in Thailand during the ongoing India-Pakistan tensions. Many social media users assumed she was vacationing amid the national crisis, prompting a wave of criticism. However, in a heartfelt vlog, Bharti clarified that her presence in Bangkok was strictly for professional work, not leisure.
“Yes, the city and the country is going through turmoil. But my family is safe… I have full trust in my country and the government… India is a very strong nation aur isse koi hilaa nahi sakta (nothing can shake its spirit),” she reassured viewers.
She further explained that her commitments were made three to four months in advance for a shoot, and it would have been unprofessional to cancel them at the last minute.
Bharti got emotional while addressing the trolls. “When I read your comments, I don’t get angry. I just feel aap log bahot bhole ho (I sometimes think that you people are very innocent),” she said, highlighting how the accusations affected her deeply. She also acknowledged the emotional toll the criticism had on her. “I do get tense and cry a lot… and the harsh comments do affect me. I can’t just ignore them because you people are a part of my family.”

She emphasized that her family in Amritsar is safe and has been encouraging her to stay strong and continue working. “It is my family who is encouraging me to work amid the tough times, as the show must go on,” Bharti added.
In her vlog, she started by confirming her family’s safety and then moved on to explain the reason behind her trip. “I want to clarify to everyone I’m here for work and not for any holiday. We had a shoot for 10 days… A lot of preparation has gone into it, and it is not professional to ditch someone at the last moment,” she said.
On the work front, Bharti is currently seen on Laughter Chef season 2.
