Bharti Singh recalls an emotional moment with SRK
Bharti Singh, one of the most popular comedians, once recalled an emotional moment with Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, which left her in tears. In a heartfelt revelation, she shared how King Khan’s humility and kindness touched her deeply. She revealed that he made her cry when he dressed up as her character Lalli.
Speaking on The Thugesh Show, Bharti shared, “I was new in the industry, having just come from my village. I doubted whether Shah Rukh would actually perform as Lalli. I also didn’t know the level of grandeur— I hadn’t seen Mannat. So, I just asked him, ‘Sir, will you dress up as Lalli?’ And he immediately said, ‘Yes.’ When I handed him the wig, he even asked for my character’s full costume, which was a frock. When he dressed up, I couldn’t hold back my tears. I had come to Mumbai from a poor family in Amritsar, and here I was, asking Shah Rukh Khan for something—and he just did it. It was one of the golden days of my life. I am a huge fan of his.”
Bharti was recalling the incident when Shah Rukh Khan had appeared as a guest on Comedy Nights Bachao. She was a contestant. A video from the show featured Shah Rukh Khan dressed as Lalli. In the clip, SRK jokingly says, “Pehle hi log jo hai samajhte nahi hai ki main macho hero hoon. Yeh dekhne ke baad thodi bohot jo rahi hogi woh bhi khatam ho jayegi.” Bharti was emotional and hugged the actor. He gently said, “Thank you” and kissed her hands.
On the work front, Shah Rukh Khan will star in King. The film will also star Suhana Khan in the lead. Munjya star Abhay Verma will also play a key role in the film. Previously, at the Locarno Film Festival, Shah Rukh Khan opened up about King and said, “It is an action drama, it’s a Hindi film. It’ll be interesting. I’ve been wanting to do a film like that for some time, and I really wanted to do a film like this for seven, or eight years… We are all coming together to make a cool, massy, action, emotional film.” King’s release date has not been announced as of now.
