Comedian and host Bharti Singh has recently opened up about her terrifying past experience. She talked about her early years when she was still having financial difficulties, including numerous times when she was touched inappropriately while riding public transportation.

During her recent appearance on Raj Shamani's podcast, Bharti revealed, “Aaj good touch-bad touch batate hai, mujhe toh pata hi nahi tha. Jab paise bilkul nahi the, main colleges mein comedy skits karvane jaati thi. Subah 5 baje ki bus leti thi. (Today we know about the difference but earlier we didnt. I used to go to colleges for teaching comedy skits and catch the bus as early as 5 AM).”

She continued, “aur us bus mein saare doodhwaale hotey they. Kabhi jagah nahi hoti thi toh upar gir jaate they aise… Toh mujhe toh samajh nahi aata tha tab. Mujhe dedh saal tak samjha hi nahi ki chhed rahe hai. Jab kisine kass ke pakda, phir aise laga lekin sochti rahi ki voh girne laga ho aur vahi cheez haath mein aa gayi (That time all the milkmen used to go in those buses and many a times they would trip on me and things like that. I would not even register what was happening for as long as a year and a half).”
