Comedian Bharti Singh Breaks Down After Backlash For Visiting Thailand During India-Pakistan Tensions
New Delhi:
Comedian Bharti Singh was in Thailand when tensions between India and Pakistan were escalating last week following the Operation Sindoor. The Internet thrashed her as safety of her family, residing in Amritsar, was at risk during the India-Pakistan skirmishes along the Line Of Control (LOC). In a recent vlog, Bharti addressed the trolls and shared she's is Thailand for some work.
At one point, she is seen breaking down into tears as she talks about the harsh comments she has received in these days. She began the video by informing the viewers that her family is in Amritsar and they are safe.
"Yes, the city and the country is going through a 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)... 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 says in the video.
Sharing about her work commitment, Bharti said, "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 to this project. A lot of preparation has gone into it, and it is not professional to ditch someone at the last moment."
Bharti also shared that she gets worried reading fake news online and calls her family twice or thrice a day.
"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.... Once again, I want to say that I have trust in my country and my government. It is my family who is encouraging me to work amid the tough times, as the show must go on," she added.
On May 7, India launched a retaliatory attack in response to the Pahalgam attack in the code name of Operation Sindoor. Following the Operation, tensions between the two countries escalated. However, India and Pakistan agreed for a ceasefire (May 10) after the United States intervened.

Amid Sardaar Ji 3 Controversy, Aditya Narayan Wants Diljit Dosanjh To Make Amends: " Jo Galat Hai Woh Galat Hai"
New Delhi: Diljit Dosanjh is under fire for working with Pakistani actress Hania Aamir in his latest release, Sardaar Ji 3. The film recently had an international release, skipping domestic screenings amid escalating tensions between the two nations following the Pahalgam terror attack and India's retaliatory Operation Sindoor. Now, singer Aditya Narayan has weighed in on the controversy, urging Diljit to "make amends" for his actions. In an interview with News18, Aditya said, 'I don't know what I can say or not, but I'm a staunch patriot. For me, it's always nation first. The country in question (Pakistan). It's sort of a habit (of supporting terrorism). As Indians, we spread the message of love and inclusivity. We believe in Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam (the world is one family). But for how long can we tolerate this? It's unfair and wrong. Jo galat hai voh galat hai [What is wrong is wrong]. The timing is not right. The atrocities are still fresh in the minds of every Indian." Advising Diljit Dosanjh to make amends, the singer added, "Make amends, that's all. It's a very sensitive topic, and everything gets trolled on the internet, but this is what I believe. We have always been hospitable and collaborative. We still are. Love will always be our message, but there is a limit to tolerance." On the work front, Diljit Dosanjh will next be seen in Anurag Singh's Border 2. The Federation of Western India Cine Employees had sent a letter to the filmmakers, urging them to cut all ties with Diljit. "Your involvement risks sending a deeply conflicting message, especially given your influence as a director known for socially resonant therefore, strongly appeal to you to reconsider your collaboration with Diljit Dosanjh and withdraw from associating with any artist who has been officially boycotted by FWICE. Upholding the dignity of our industry and the nation must remain paramount over professional or commercial interests," the letter read. A source close to the film's production confirmed to NDTV that Diljit has not been dropped from Border 2, as of now. "His casting was done 9 months back. and we have already finished 50% of the shoot," said the source. The film began its third schedule of shooting a week ago in Pune.
