Bharti’s insights provided a rare glimpse into the man behind the superstar persona.

Beyond his professional prowess, Bharti spoke extensively about Kapil’s genuine and supportive nature, a side of him she has witnessed personally over many years. She recalled instances where Kapil acted as a mentor, guiding her through difficult situations and boosting her confidence. “He would say, ‘Oye, you’re a lion. What you can do, no one else can!'” she recounted, expressing how his words act as a powerful “energy boost” whenever she feels down.
The comedian also mentioned that despite his stellar career and massive success, Kapil Sharma still experiences nerves before a show, a humanizing detail that surprised many. She described how he “still gets nervous, gets chills and sweats” backstage, showcasing his humility and commitment to every performance.
