Comedian Bharti Singh recently addressed the backlash she received after being accused of vacationing in Thailand while her family in Amritsar, Punjab, was caught in a crisis amid escalating tensions between India and Pakistan, following Indian forces downing multiple Pakistani drones near Amritsar. She revealed that she is not on vacation, but in Bangkok for a work commitment. In her recent YouTube vlog, Bharti urged people not to believe in fake news.
She acknowledged the problems in Punjab but emphasised that everyone is dealing with them silently. Bharti expressed her immense faith in both her country and the government. "India is a very strong country aur isse koi hilaa nahi sakta. You people are very innocent. When I read your comments I don’t get angry. I just feel aap log bahot bhole ho," she added.

She further assured that her family is safe and doing well, sharing that they always respond with a smile whenever she calls them. Bharti added, "I want to clarify to everyone I’m here for work and not for any holiday. We had a shoot for 10 days and we had committed 3-4 months ago for this project. A lot of preparation has gone into it and it is not professional to ditch someone at the last moment. Maine humesha ek baat Punjabiyon se sikhi hai ek baar keh do toh phir keh do mana nahi karna."
Bharti got emotional, stating that she feels upset when people accuse her of laughing and enjoying while her family in Punjab is suffering. She shared that her brother is strong, calling him an 'innocent soul.'
On the work front, Bharti is currently seen on Laughter Chef season 2.
