Bharti Singh on suffering pay cut

During an interview with HT, Bharti said, “Ever since the pandemic hit us, budgets of the shows have really been affected. And that has happened in all the industries. But no artiste would be fine if they are not paid what they deserve. Agar main jo charge karti thi, uska 25% bhi nahi doge aap, toh fir kaam nahi ho ho payega.”

“But if you ask me to give 26 days in a month to a show, and I am not even being paid well for it, I would prefer to take a step back. Because main bhi apne bacche ko 12 hours ghar par chhod kar aaungi. I need to be paid for my work,” Bharti asserted.

Singh further said that even though she suffers a 50% cut, she will give her 100% to her work. Bharti said, “I don’t say things like, ‘Main 1 lac leti thi, par ab 50 hazaar le rahi hu toh 6 ki jagah 3 jokes hi maarungi. Once I go on the stage, I don’t even remember for how long I’ve been asked to perform or how much I’ve been paid. Live shows mein mujhe rokna padta hai because I’m not someone who follows the script. So, I never ever complain about overtime also,” she mentions, pointing at artistes who sometimes fight when asked to work for a couple of hours extra than the decided slot.”

Bharti Singh is currently enjoying her motherhood phase after the arrival of her son Laksh. She was a part of The Kapil Sharma Show.
