“Even in his serious, brooding moments as Yug, he somehow makes it look picture-perfect”, says Ashi Singh
It’s not every day that you get to work with someone you’ve admired for years, unless you’re Ashi Singh! The talented actress, who plays Kairi Sharma in Sony SAB’s rom-com Ufff…Yeh Love Hai Mushkil, has been a fan of her co-star, Shabir Ahluwalia, and believes acting alongside him is a dream come true.
The show, which explores the complicated facets of love and relationships, features Shabir as the rugged and elusive Yug Sinha, while Ashi, as Kairi, is a happy-go-lucky young woman who aspires to be a successful lawyer. While their on-screen banter is unmissable as their characters are as different as chalk and cheese, off-screen, Ashi Singh has taken up a quirky little hobby of trying to sneak in photos of Shabir Ahluwalia when he’s deep in his “Yug Zone”, being elusive, broody and just a little grumpy! But as she hilariously admits on Instagram:
“Tried catching a candid of Shabbir in full-on Yug mode… but of course, the man still looks like he’s walked straight out of a shoot. Effortlessly good looking. How do you do that?”

Whether he’s preparing for an emotional scene, reading the script, or chatting with the crew between takes, Ashi’s mission to capture him as this guarded character falls flat given Shabir’s effortless charm which refuses to take a break.
Talking about this newfound hobby on set, Ashi Singh shares, “One of the things I really enjoy on set is watching Shabir Ahluwalia step into his role as Yug. He brings such a natural intensity to the character—it’s so effortless, yet impactful. Even in his serious, brooding moments as Yug, he somehow makes it look picture-perfect. It’s been genuinely inspiring to see him work up close, it’s like a mini masterclass every day.”
Tune in to watch Ufff…Yeh Love Hai Mushkil Monday to Saturday at 8 PM on Sony SAB
