Her videos with her house help
During the COVID-19 lockdown in 2020, Singh's videos with her house help Bhagyashree went viral.

Singh still posts these videos and viewers have especially lauded Bhagyashree's optimism and vitality and have repeatedly said there's "much to learn from her" and "she's the best part about Singh's feed."

Who doesn't like a good dose of behind-the-scenes videos of our favorite shows? Singh is famous for lighting up her feed with several BTS videos from The Kapil Sharma Show.

Her ability to take jokes on herself
Singh has been at the receiving end of Sharma's several jokes, and it is often said that a comic artist's real skill lies in their ability to laugh at themselves. The actor-filmmaker presented an example of this when several jokes were doing rounds about Navjot Singh Sidhu's possible TKSS return and she shared a series of memes that provided everyone with a hearty laugh!
