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

'You don't deserve this': Astronomer CEO Andy Byron's wife gets sympathy on Facebook after Coldplay video goes viral
Astronomer CEO Andy Byron was seen with his colleague at a viral video from a Coldplay concert. Wife of Astronomer CEO Andy Byron, Megan Kerrigan Byron, received sympathy messages on her Facebook from strangers Thursday morning after her husband was apparently caught cheating with his office colleague in a viral video. Andy Byron and his company's chief people officer, Kristin Cabot, were seen in each other's embrace at a Coldplay concert in Boston. The secret affair might have remained secret had the couple not been featured on a big screen at the concert with Coldplay frontman Chris Martin drawing everyone's attention to them without understanding that they did not want it. As Andy Byron ducked the camera and Kristin Cabot hid her face, Chris Martin understood that he did something embarrassing. "All right, come on, you're OK," Martin continued. "Either they're having an affair or they're just very shy. " But little did Chris Martin know that he basically outed the affair of a married tech CEO. Coldplay played Tuesday and Wednesday at Gillette Stadium, home of the NFL's New England Patriots, in Foxborough, Massachusetts. The Internet loved the scandal that unraveled through social media comments as social media users identified Andy Byron as the Astronomer CEO and the woman with him as the HR of the company. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Elevate Business Writing With This Desktop App Grammarly Learn More Undo While Andy Byron's wife, a mother of two, maintains a private life, her Facebook page was flooded with sympathy messages.
