Bharti clarified that her family is safe and is managing themselves well being strong. She further urged her fans not to read fake news or spread it. Bharti stated that she is in Thailand for work, which is a prior commitment that cannot be cancelled at the last minute. Here is what she said.  

In her daily vlog on your YouTube channel, Bharti Singh got emotional and said that she received backlash like “You should be ashamed for being in Thailand while your family is in Amritsar’ and ‘There are tensions in the country and you're roaming around Thailand’.

She said, “Yes, the city and the country is going through a turmoil. But my family is safe.... I have full trust in my country and the government... India is a very strong nation aur isse koi hilaa nahi sakta (nothing can shake its spirit)... When I read your comments, I don’t get angry. I just feel aap log bahot bhole ho (I sometimes think that you people are very innocent).” 

She added, “I want to clarify to everyone I’m here for work and not for any holiday. We had a shoot for 10 days, and we had committed 3-4 months ago to this project. A lot of preparation has gone into it, and it is not professional to ditch someone at the last moment.” 

“I do get tense and cry a lot... And the harsh comments do affect me. I can’t just ignore them because you people are a part of my family.... Once again, I want to say that I have trust in my country and my government. It is my family who is encouraging me to work amid the tough times, as the show must go on,” the comedian added. 

Bharti Singh urged the fans not to panic and follow the instructions given by the government.
