Bharti secretly engaged to Comedy Circus writer?

Stardom comes at a price, so much so that celebrities can't even go public with their relationship.

And guess which celebrity is paying the price of stardom? It's standup comedienne Bharti Singh. If sources associated with Comedy Circus are to be believed, Bharti has got engaged to Harsh Limbachiyaa, writer of Comedy Circus. Says a source, "Bharti has been denying her affair with Harsh for the longest time, but we at Comedy Circus are aware of their relationship. They exchanged rings recently. Bharti is keeping the engagement under wraps and in fact, addresses Harsh as her brother. 'He is like my brother' is what she tells us.

That could be because Harsh is 22 and Bharti is 29. However, she has been taking care of all his needs and takes him along with her for all her shows. She even bought him a car last year." Both Bharti and Harsh refuted the buzz.

Harsh said, "These rumours have cropped up because I write only for Bharti. And that's why the remaining cast feels that there is something brewing between us. There has been no engagement." So, are they brother and sister, as Bharti has claimed to the cast of the show? "We are good friends," says he.

Bharti said, "I don't have to hide my engagement. If at all it happens, I will announce it."
