Being overweight is a blessing in disguise for Bharti Singh

“When I came to Mumbai seven years back, I used to hate the fact that I am overweight. But it has become my USP. I never try to diet. To be successful talent matters, not weight,” Bharti told reporters during the launch of “I Can Do That”, a challenge-based reality show.

“When I see people laughing at my jokes, I feel so special. It is much more important than the fame I have achieved.”

The comedy star, who has starred in Akshay Kumar’s “Khiladi 786” and Punjabi movie “Jatt & Juliet 2”, has been getting a lot of film offers, but Bharti said she prefers TV as she feels its reach is more vast than that of movies.

“I don’t know when will I do movies. I have so much work lined up already that I am not able to find time for anything else. I love television, all the TV characters are so popular,” she said.

On personal front, Bharti, who hails from Punjab, is planning to take her mother on a special birthday trip.

“As soon as I am done with this show, I am going to take my mother on a surprise cruise trip on her birthday in November. She is everything for me and I want to do everything for her.”
