Bharti Singh may have built a luxurious life through years of hard work, but behind the laughter lies a fear that has kept her grounded literally. The popular comedian revealed she has not taken a flight since the tragic Air India Flight 171 crash in Ahmedabad, which claimed 270 lives. In a candid chat with Raj Shamani on his YouTube channel, Bharti said, “Ever since the Air India crash happened, I haven’t taken a flight. Now, I have to go for a couple of things and I am already scared. Ever since I had my kid, I have started acting like a coward.” ‘Maha Kumbh Mein Ja Rahe Ho?’: Comedienne Bharti Singh’s ‘Behosh Hokar Marne’ Response to Paparazzo’s Question Leaves Fans Divided (Watch Video)

Bharti Singh Skips Monsoon Events Over Flight Turbulence Fear

The comedian shared that she now refuses to travel or work during monsoons, even if it means losing significant income. “During the monsoons, I don’t take up any event for at least four months when, in fact, there are so many events that happen during these four months. I refuse everything, no matter how much money they offer me because I am genuinely scared of turbulence. When people in the flight scream out of fear, it makes you weaker. I said, ‘It’s okay, I won’t make any money in these four months’. Haarsh keeps telling me, ‘If something has to happen, it will happen even if you are inside the house’. I tell him, ‘It’s okay. I will handle it if it happens at home but in the flight, if something goes wrong, you are going to die’,” she said.
