Bharti Singh Faces ‘Body-Shaming’ Backlash After Comparing Ayesha Khan to Krushna Abhishek on Laughter Chef 3

Comedian Bharti Singh is back as the host of Laughter Chefs Season 3 , a celebrity cooking reality show known for its light-hearted banter and comic moments. However, a recent episode featuring Kapil Sharma and the cast of Kis Kisko Pyaar Karoon 2 sparked controversy after one of Bharti’s jokes about actor Ayesha Khan’s appearance failed to land well with viewers.


What Happened on the Show


During the episode, Warina Hussain, Ayesha Khan, Tridha Choudhury and Parul Gulati made a lively entry on stage, dancing to the film’s song Pehli Uddi Furrr. As the fun interaction continued, Bharti made a remark about Ayesha’s appearance, saying, “Jab saari heroine aayi na, mujhe Ayesha ko dekh ke laga, Krushna phir se aa gaya, kyunki uski tarah lambi hai na” (After seeing Ayesha, I thought Krushna returned because she is tall like Krushna).

The comment appeared to leave Ayesha visibly uncomfortable. She was seen moving towards Kapil Sharma while trying to cover her stomach with her hand. Sensing the awkwardness, Kapil immediately stepped in and asked Bharti, “Was this a compliment or what?” Parul Gulati also reacted on the spot, telling Bharti, “You shouldn’t have said this.” Bharti later responded by saying, “Sorry, I am pregnant.”

Video Goes Viral, Viewers React


The clip quickly circulated on social media, triggering strong reactions from viewers. Many criticised Bharti for making what they felt was a body-shaming comment on national television. One user wrote, “Bharti is rude to most women on the show, participants or guests, and body-shaming jibes from someone who became famous largely because of her own appearance are ironic.”

Another comment read, “This wasn’t funny and was plain disrespectful towards bigger-sized women, even though Ayesha isn’t even that.” A third viewer said, “I really felt bad for Ayesha here. The comment was weird.” One more reaction stated, “This doesn’t sound good. She looks embarrassed, and it is indirectly body-shaming.” Another user went as far as saying, “Bharti is just a misogynist. Just because she is a working woman doesn’t change her mindset. Even if you watch her vlogs, you’ll feel this. The joke wasn’t even funny.”
