New Delhi: Comedian Bharti Singh who has been regaling us for years with jokes on her own weight is a much thinner version of herself now. It goes to Bharti’s credit that she has never let her weight come in the way of her professional career and has in fact made a place for herself as a host show both live and TV and as a comedian.
Now, having lost 16 kg in a span of 10 months, she is creating waves across the internet. Fans are impressed with her post-weight loss pictures. So, how did she achieve the goal?
Bharti Singh followed a strict diet to achieve this milestone and a certain set of non-negotiable rules. In an exclusive conversation with NDTV Food, she opened up about her weight loss regime, the diet that she followed, her future plans, and what inspired her to get fit and healthy.
Bharti Singh revealed that she had always been overweight since childhood. In fact, she said this was her first experience with weight loss, and thanks to the intermittent diet, she had been largely successful. But her motivation was never to lose weight, but simply to become healthy.

“Losing weight or getting slim was never my objective. I only started this diet to get fit. I was borderline diabetic, and during the Covid second wave I realised that I was not able to do my own work myself as I would run out of breath,” she shared in a candid conversation with NDTV Food.
She started intermittent fasting at the behest of her husband, producer Haarsh Limbachiyaa.
“Initially, in the first 10-15 days, I faced a lot of problems. I would wake up in the middle of the night and eat Maggi or leftover vegetables from dinner. But slowly these things normalised,” she was quoted as saying.
The comedian told NDTV Food that she ate her normal diet but within the stipulated time of 8 hours only. “I did not adopt any diet, I just fasted for 15-16 hours and eat homemade food like Paranthas, chai, eggs, sabzi, Kadhi-Chawal etc. I am from a Punjabi family and Paranthe hamari shaan hain. I never eat any fancy foods, and never eat post-7pm no matter what. In fact, my body has stopped accepting food at the wrong hours.”

“Now, I will tease others by saying that you couldn’t lose weight, but I did.” She also said her husband Haarsh has helped her a lot on this journey and supported her in many ways. “He tells me that don’t become extremely thin but stay fit. And we may be planning to have a baby very soon so I need to be healthy for that too,” she said.
