Bharti Singh and Harsh Limbachiyaa are going to become parents soon, but that hasn’t stopped her from shooting. The two are currently hosting the talent-based reality show Hunarbaaz — Desh Ki Shaan.

Bharti started her career as a comedian, while Harsh used to work as a writer for comedy shows. They have come a long way since then, and today have anchored a lot of shows together. In a candid chat, the duo spoke to us about their journey and what makes them a formidable team.

Harsh says it wasn’t a conscious decision on his part to move to anchoring. He adds, “I think the only conscious decision both of us took together, was to get married! We produced the comedy show Khatra Khatra Khatra, which featured both of us. After that we were offered a show to host and since then it has become a regular thing. We do our work with absolute commitment because the makers are spending money on it.”

According to Harsh, usually, when two anchors perform together, there is insecurity, and sometimes, it can lead to fights when one feels the other got to deliver better lines. “Two anchors have not worked well in the past due to insecurities. But in our case, we are husband and wife and there is no such insecurity. That has helped us perform better,” he says.

Bharti also shares how she finds it fun to host a show with her husband. “The money goes to the same house, so we don’t have any fights. Now that Harsh and I work together, he can’t party after pack-up with his friends, he is forced to go home with me. I am happy that we make a good team,” she signs off.
