Bharti Singh recalls being touched inappropriately in buses: ‘Mujhe samajh nahi aata tha tab’

Comedian Bharti Singh shared that earlier she was not aware of the difference between ‘good touch’ and ‘bad touch,’ and faced several uncomfortable situations.

Comedian and host Bharti Singh has been entertaining the audience with her shows for over a decade now. She recently appeared on Raj Shamani's podcast, where she talked about her journey so far in the industry. During the interaction, she also shared experiences during the initial years when she was still struggling to make ends meet, including many instances when she was touched inappropriately in public transport.

What Bharti said

Bharti Singh opened up about being touched inappropriately in public.

Bharti began, “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, 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 (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. 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).”

‘Maine apne se lambe ladko ko thappad mara’
