When Bharti Singh stepped onto the set of Laughter Chef 3Mumbai in late October, few guessed she was eight months pregnant. The 41-year-old Indian comedian and TV host, known for her razor-sharp wit and boundless energy, is now in the final stretch of her second pregnancy — and still shooting daily. Her bump, wrapped in a navy-blue polka-dot dress with ruffles, became the star of her own surprise baby shower on November 16, 2025, hosted by her Laughter Chef 3 crew. The event, captured on Instagram by co-host Jannat Zubair, featured a surprise cake, gifts, and emotional hugs from co-stars Tejaswi Prakash, Jasmine Bhasin, Ali Goni, and Krishna Abhishek.
She Didn’t Even Know She Was Pregnant — Until It Was Too Late
Bharti Singh’s pregnancy was anything but planned. In an interview with Pinkvilla, she revealed she didn’t realize she was expecting until two and a half months in. "I was eating normally, dancing on Dance Deewane, shooting nonstop — I thought I’d just gained weight," she said. "I dropped a test in the bathroom, walked out, came back, and saw two lines. I called Haarsh right away." Her husband, Haarsh Limbachiyaa, was equally stunned. "We never planned this," she added. "It just happened. And now? We’re rolling with it." The timing couldn’t be wilder. Just weeks before the baby shower, she’d been filming Laughter Chef 3’s launch event on October 26, 2025, where she joked, "I thought I was sick — four months at home, no energy. Then today? I felt like a superhero. I forgot I was pregnant." The crew, in on the secret, started calling her unborn baby "Golu" — a nickname that stuck in behind-the-scenes clips and social media posts.Health Woes Amid the Hustle
But behind the smiles and laughter, the reality is tougher. In a recent YouTube vlog, Bharti opened up about her declining health. "My protein levels are low," she said, holding up a blood report. "The doctor said: eggs. Every day. And I’ve developed gestational diabetes — even though I never had sugar issues before." She’s now on a strict, rotating diet: millet one day, ragi the next, corn on the third. "It’s not boring if you mix it up," she advised her followers. "Try it. Your body will thank you." Her energy levels have dipped, and the physical toll of carrying a baby while filming a high-energy comedy show is evident. Still, she refuses to slow down. "I don’t want to miss this," she said. "This season? Everyone’s been waiting. I’m not letting anything stop me."
A Public Journey, From Switzerland to Social Media
Bharti first announced her pregnancy in a quiet moment in Switzerland, where she and Haarsh had traveled for a family break. Since then, she’s turned her journey into a public diary — posting daily vlogs on YouTube, sharing ultrasound photos, cravings, and even her struggles with swelling and fatigue. An ABP Live photo gallery published on November 19, 2025, showed her in maternity wear at the baby shower and on set, with tags like #BhartiSinghHaarshLimbachiyaa and #Television drawing thousands of views. A YouTube Shorts video titled "Laughter Chef 3 Team Gave Bharti Singh a Surprise Baby Shower" — uploaded by a regional channel from Jharkhand — went viral, amassing over 200K views in 48 hours. Meanwhile, Tv Masala’s clip of her flaunting her bump at the show’s launch has been shared over 700,000 times.What Comes Next?
With her due date expected between late November and mid-December 2025, Bharti’s team has already begun adjusting schedules. Filming will pause briefly after the birth, but the show’s producers confirmed that she’ll return to host episodes once recovered. "She’s the soul of this season," said a producer. "We’re not replacing her. We’re just giving her space to breathe." Fans are rallying behind her. Comments on her posts read: "You’re the real MVP," and "If you can dance and laugh while pregnant, I can do anything." Even critics who once dismissed reality TV as frivolous now admire her grit.
Why This Matters
Bharti Singh’s story isn’t just about celebrity pregnancy. It’s a quiet rebellion against the idea that women must choose between career and motherhood — especially in India’s fast-paced entertainment industry. She’s showing that pregnancy isn’t a pause button. It’s a different rhythm. And it’s okay to be tired, to need eggs, to have sugar, to still show up. Her journey resonates because it’s real. No filters. No scripted perfection. Just a woman, a bump, a microphone, and a whole lot of heart.Frequently Asked Questions

What health issues is Bharti Singh facing during her pregnancy?
Bharti is managing low protein levels and gestational diabetes — both common but serious conditions during pregnancy. Her doctor has prescribed a daily intake of eggs for protein and a rotating diet of millet, ragi, and corn to stabilize blood sugar.

Bharti believes her work keeps her mentally and emotionally grounded. She’s also committed to the Laughter Chef 3 team and fans who’ve waited for the season. The show’s producers have adjusted her schedule, allowing rest breaks and reducing physical stunts, but she refuses to step away entirely — calling it her "therapy."

The public response has been overwhelmingly supportive, with millions engaging with her vlogs and baby shower clips. Social media trends like #BhartiStrong and #PregnantAndPunching have gone viral. Many Indian women, especially working mothers, say her transparency has normalized the struggles of balancing career and pregnancy — something rarely shown on TV.

No, this is her second child. Her first daughter, born in 2021, is now three years old. Bharti has often spoken about how motherhood changed her perspective on comedy and life. This pregnancy, she says, feels even more joyful — and more challenging — because she knows what to expect, and yet, nothing prepares you for the second time around.
