Bharti Singh calls Shabir Ahluwalia the ‘Ajay Devgn of television’ reflecting on his serious demeanour and intense scenes

The entertaining Bharti Singh and Haarsh Limbachiyaa recently invited television’s heartthrob Shabir Ahluwalia and the charming Ashi Singh as guests on the LOL podcast. Shabir and Ashi, who essay contrasting characters of Yug and Kairi in Ufff… Yeh Love Hai Mushkil, shared fun behind-the-scenes anecdotes, spoke about their on-screen chemistry, and dived into what makes the show so special.During the candid chat, Bharti Singh couldn’t stop herself from praising lead actor Shabir Ahluwalia’s intense on-screen presence and calm off-screen demeanour. In her trademark witty style, she affectionately dubbed him the 'Ajay Devgn of television', drawing parallels between Shabir’s effortless charisma onscreen along with his private nature off-screen, and Ajay Devgn’s charming personality, powerful yet understated performances and his role as a doting family man.Host Bharti Singh couldn’t hold back her admiration for Shabir’s personality, and she asked Ashi about her experience working with him as he is a senior actor and has been working in television for a long while. Bharti went on to say that she felt Shabir is the Ajay Devgn of television as he doesn’t smile much, has a serious demeanour, and performs intense scenes. She also asked Ashi if she was scared when she performed her first scene with Shabir.

Earlier, Shabbir shared, "Definitely what I’ve seen is experimental characters, experimental storytelling. Earlier, our storytelling was very single-dimensional, but right now you are seeing complex characters taking centre stage. They are the ones who are driving a show or a movie. It’s only because the audiences are now ready to accept them."The light-hearted moment brought laughter in the studio, with Ashi Singh sharing how she initially felt intimidated working with such a seasoned actor but quickly grew comfortable thanks to Shabir’s supportive and grounded nature.
