Laughter Chefs 2: Bharti Singh's mom shares her struggles during pregnancy; says, 'Main chahati nahi thi yeh ho, maine akele issko paida kiya'
Cooking-based show Laughter Chefs Season 2 has been winning the hearts of audiences ever since the very start. The latest episode featured the birthday celebration of comedian Bharti Singh. It included several surprises and special segments with Bharti — from the contestants making her favourite dish to Bharti's mom joining the show, Kapil Sharma's special birthday wish, and more — the episode entertained fans with it all. The episode began with Chef Harpal Singh Sokhi dedicating a special dish — Aam Papad Chaat with roasted Aam Panna. He asked everyone to make the two dishes, as they are Bharti's favourites. Later, close friends from the industry — including Kapil Sharma, Jasmin Bhasin, Chandan Prabhakar, and others — wished Bharti a very happy birthday through a video message. Another moment from the episode that won many hearts was when Bharti's mom joined the show and wished her daughter. Rahul asked her what she ate when she was pregnant with Bharti. Hearing the question, her mom opened up about her pregnancy struggles and shared how she didn't want Bharti at the time. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Is your tinnitus getting worse?

Maine issko akele pala hai, without doctor and nurse.' Krushna then joked, 'Even the doctor refused to welcome her into the world.' Bharti hugged her mom, and the two shared heartfelt moments together. As the episode progressed, Bharti shared, 'I've celebrated birthdays before, but never like this. To be surrounded by my entire family, my friends from the industry, my on-screen LC family, and my Golla — all in one place, on one set — was truly magical. The Laughter Chefs team gave me a day I will carry in my heart forever. From food made just for me, to seeing friends I hadn't spoken to in over 10–15 years, to hearing people talk about the small, beautiful things they remembered about me — it filled me up in ways I didn't know I needed. I was crying and laughing at the same time, and it just made me feel so seen, so valued, so deeply loved.'

Laughter Chefs 2: Bharti Singh receives a heartfelt birthday surprise on set; the actress says 'The team gave me a day I will carry in my heart forever'
For someone who's made the nation laugh for years,'Laughter Chefs Unlimited Entertainment' turned the tables on Bharti Singh by gifting her an unforgettable surprise — her very first birthday celebration on national television! What began as an ordinary shoot day was turned into a deeply emotional and joy-filled rollercoaster that brought together the people closest to her heart — from celebrity friends to her Laughter Chefs family, and most importantly, her real family including her beloved son Golla. The day kicked off with Chef Harpal Singh Sokhi dedicating a special dish — Aam Papad Chaat with roasted Aam Panna — just for her. But before Bharti could fully savour the moment, the entire cast surprised her with a flash mob-style dance performance, with Bharti right at the centre of the fun and frolic. The surprise crescendoed when two young fans ran up to her, tightly hugging her and calling her their "favourite ever", leaving the usually witty Bharti visibly teary-eyed and speechless. But the most moving moments were yet to come. Her long-time friend and co-star Krushna Abhishek unveiled a special countdown video with hilarious and heartfelt birthday wishes from the Laughter Chefs celebrity contestants. That was followed by an emotional montage of messages from some of her closest friends in the industry — including Kapil Sharma, Jasmin Bhasin, Chandan Prabhakar, and others — all sharing little stories, memories, and the admiration they hold for her. However, what truly tugged at her heartstrings were the surprise appearances of two people she hadn't seen in over a decade — an old school friend and a college buddy — who popped up in the video with messages that took her back to her early days, before the fame, the stage lights, and the laughter. And then came the moment that made time stand still. Led by her mother Kamla Singh, Bharti's entire family — including her little son Golla and her dedicated team and support staff — walked onto the set. It was the first time they had all come together on a shoot, and the energy was nothing short of magical. As Bharti stood surrounded by her Laughter Chefs family and her real-life loved ones — wrapped in a bubble of warmth, nostalgia, and pride — Krushna, true to form, lightened the moment with his signature wit: 'Bharti, tumhare sasur ko dekh ke laga Ranjeet from Houseful 5 aa gayi!' The whole set erupted in laughter, a perfect reminder that even in the most emotional moments, laughter finds its way. The emotions peaked when her mentor Sudesh Lehri stepped in with one final surprise — a closing video from all the contestants filled with touching messages about Bharti's resilience, her big heart, and her unwavering support to everyone around her. Overwhelmed with emotion, Bharti shared: 'I've celebrated birthdays before, but never like this. To be surrounded by my entire family, my friends from the industry, my on-screen LC family, and my Golla — all in one place, on one set, was truly magical. The Laughter Chefs team gave me a day I will carry in my heart forever. From food made just for me, to seeing friends I hadn't spoken to in over 10–15 years, to hearing people talk about the small, beautiful things they remembered about me, it filled me up in ways I didn't know I needed. I was crying and laughing at the same time, and it just made me feel so seen, so valued, so deeply loved.' Bharti Singh: I wish there were more women doing comedy on television

Celebrity Chef Sarah Todd Tastes Iconic Aam Papad Chaat In Amritsar, Watch Her Reaction
Australian Chef Sarah Todd is on a culinary expedition across India. After savouring local foods in the Northeast and many other roadside delights, the celebrity chef is currently exploring Amritsar. Undoubtedly, who can miss chats when in Amritsar? Well, it seems Sarah can't! Soon after savouring her all-time favourite Gulab Jamun in the city's popular sweet shop, she went on to relish Lubhaya Ram's Aam Papad Chaat. In a video on Instagram, the chef documented her chaat indulgence, calling it 'an icon, a legacy, and possibly one of the most underrated street snacks in India.' She further expressed her emotions in the caption of the video while explaining its preparation, 'It's not just mango pulp dried into sheets. It's layer upon layer of different mango varieties, sun-dried to chewy perfection, then chopped and tossed with kala namak, chilli powder, cumin, lemon juice and lashings of tamarind chutney. It's sticky, spicy, sweet, sour, tangy… and absolutely addictive.' In the video, we can spot the chaat vendor placing a few pieces of dried mango slices on a plate. He also mixes some additional chopped pieces with chutneys of all kinds, adding layers of flavour to it. Finally, the mixture is served on the ungarnished pieces of dried mango slices. Alongside the video, she says, 'This is chaat in Amritsar, Punjab, but not like you've had it before. It's a mash-up of sun-dried mango slices, then comes a punch of masalas, a generous drizzle of tamarind chutney, a squeeze of fresh lemon that wakes up your entire face.' View this post on Instagram A post shared by SARAH TODD (@sarahtodd) While holding the scrumptious plate of delight, Sarah narrates, 'Looks delicious. This is the chaat that I never knew I needed. It looks incredible. There's so much going on here. There are so many flavours that have been added in, and I've got to dig in before I give any idea of what it tastes like.' After relishing a bit of it, Sarah couldn't resist expressing her honest emotions, 'Mmm, that is literally an explosion of flavours in my mouth. It's salty, it's tangy, it's sweet, it's textural, it's very sour, which I love. I don't know, it's just the craziest snack. It's so healthy. Everything is air-dried, natural flavours. I mean, it's amazing. This is the best kind of snack. We should all be having this as our tea time, sweet afternoon snack. Oh, that is sour.' She concluded her video by saying, 'What I didn't expect was how complex this would be. A snack that was once preserved fruit is now a full-blown street-side ritual, wrapped in nostalgia for locals, and an explosion of discovery for me.'
