Bharti Singh Apprecites SRK:

When the host reminded Bharti Singh of how Shah Rukh Khan had once spoken in an interview about her dressing him up as Lalli, the comedian said, "Main badi royi. Main tab gaon se aayi thi aur yeh bolte ki Shah Rukh Khan aarahe hai unse Lalli karwaana. Mujhe laga kardega Shah Rukh Khan. Tabhi voh level nahi pata tha naa, tab Mannat nahi dekha tha. Toh maine kaha sir aap banoge? Voh itne sweet kehte yes. Maine unhe wig pehanaya toh unhone pucha, tumhara koi frock bhi hota tha naa" (I cried a lot. I was new in the industry, having just come from my village. I doubted whether Shah Rukh would actually perform as Lalli. I also didn't know the level of grandeur—I hadn't seen Mannat. So, I just asked him, ‘Sir, will you dress up as Lalli?' He was so sweet and said, ‘Yes.' When I made him wear the wig, he asked, ‘Didn't you also have a frock?').”

She further added, "Mera rona nikal gaya ki aap Mumbai aaye ho ek Amritsar ki poor family se. Aapne Shah Rukh Khan ko kuch bola hai aur unhone frock pehana, wig laga li. Meri aankhon mein aanson aagye yaar. Mere liye voh one of the best days, golden days mein se ek tha" (When he dressed up, I just broke down in tears—here I was, coming to Mumbai from a poor family in Amritsar, and I had said something to Shah Rukh Khan, and he actually wore the frock and put on the wig. Tears filled my eyes, man. For me, that was one of the best, one of the golden days of my life).”

Bharti further expressed her admiration for Shah Rukh, stating that she is a huge fan of the actor. She described him as very straightforward, noting that he isn't overly active on social media.

Earlier, Shah Rukh had appeared on Comedy Nights Bachao as a guest, where he dressed as Lalli, wearing a wig and a frock. In the clip, which resurfaced on social media, SRK can be heard saying, "Pehle hi log jo hai samajhte nahi hai ki main macho hero hoon. Yeh dekhne ke baad thodi bohot jo rahi hogi woh bhi khatam ho jayegi" (People already don't think of me as a macho hero. After watching this, whatever little impression was left will also be gone).” After this, an emotional Bharti was seen hugging SRK, who later kissed her hands.
