Bharti Singh recalls her days of poverty
"They used to work in a factory. I still hate the smell of those blankets and the sound of the machine. I have seen enough poverty with my family and I don’t want to see it anymore," she told ETimes.
Bharti said she used to get angry on seeing people wasting food. "If I used to see people throwing half eaten apple, I would think that the person would get cursed for wasting food. I would even think of picking it up and slicing it in a way so that I could eat it.

Bharti also revealed that she used to get depressed during festivals and they would do Lakshmi Puja only after her mother would get the sweet box from work. "I would go and stand near other kids bursting crackers so that others would think I burst them. When my mom would work at people’s homes, I used to sit near the door. She would clean toilets. While leaving, they would give her leftover food. Their stale food would become our fresh food. And that would make our day," Bharti recalled.
