Rajat Dahiya on playing a lawyer in Ufff…Yeh Love Hai Mushkil; says ‘He doesn't just fight cases; he plays mind games'
Ufff…Yeh Love Hai Mushkil takes a darker and more thrilling turn with the entry of Vikram 'Vicky' Malhotra, played by Rajat Dahiya — a suave, dangerous lawyer whose courtroom style is less about arguments and more about psychological warfare. In an exclusive chat, Rajat opens up about what drew him to the role and how he prepared to step into Vikram's twisted mind. 'There was something oddly familiar about this character the moment I read the script,' Rajat shares. 'Being a lawyer, he exudes charm, wit, and psychological warfare – it's like stepping into a game of chess every time he walks into court. And I love a good game.' While Rajat is an engineer by degree, his upbringing gave him natural tools for the role. 'I didn't really have to work very hard on playing a lawyer. I've been raised by strong women, from my dadi to my mom. That calm and confidence comes naturally. For Vikram, I just added a little sharpness and control. He doesn't speak just to win — he speaks to throw people off.' Despite playing such a complex role, Rajat draws a clear line between himself and Vikram. 'I admire how fearless he is, but I don't relate to how far he'll go for revenge. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Is it legal?

I know I'm not Vikram the moment I look in the mirror after pack-up.' Rajat's scenes opposite Shabir Ahluwalia are loaded with tension. 'The real tension is in the small things — a pause, a glance, a line said with extra sweetness. The history between Yug and Vikram creates natural drama. You don't need loud fights; you just need honesty in performance.' Their on-screen rivalry may be fierce, but off-screen, it's all love. 'With Shabir, it's like working with a real brother. No courtroom drama off-screen — just good vibes, chai, and lots of laughs. The entire cast is like a family.' One of Rajat's most memorable moments came right at the start. 'My first shot was wild. It was a new courtroom set, ten pages of dialogue, and this arrogant, layered character to play. I felt lost at first, but something clicked. I found Vikram in that moment.' As for how Vikram will complicate the central love story between Yug and Kairi, Rajat hints at major twists ahead. 'If Vikram finds even the smallest crack between them, he'll turn it into an earthquake. That's how he plays — calculated, sharp, and always looking to stir the pot.' With Rajat Dahiya's entry, Ufff…Yeh Love Hai Mushkil just got even more intense. As courtroom battles heat up and emotional games deepen, viewers can expect a thrilling rollercoaster of love, betrayal, and high-stakes drama.

Ufff…Yeh Love Hai Mushkil: Kairi and Yug Join Hands to Rescue Imarti Amidst Dark Family Secrets
Ufff…Yeh Love Hai Mushkil continues to delve into the emotional complexities of love, truth, and betrayal, often showing how men and women navigate it differently. The recent courtroom drama saw Yug (Shabir Ahluwalia) at odds with his rival Vikram (Rajat Dahiya), until Ashi Singh's character, Kairi, stepped in and turned the tables in his favor. In the upcoming episodes, the show takes a gripping turn as Kairi and Yug come together to search for her missing sister Imarti (Deepal Satija). Their investigation leads to a shocking revelation—Imarti has been kidnapped by none other than her own father, Kundan (Manvendra Jha). While the siblings believed he was living a quiet life in Dubai, the truth is far more unsettling: Kundan has been serving a 16-year sentence in Tihar Jail. This dark secret, long buried, was hidden by Kairi and her brother Biscuit (Mohammed Saud) to protect their family's fragile unity. But now, Kundan resurfaces, blackmailing Kairi with a devastating threat—to reveal that she's not truly related to her siblings unless she helps him get out of prison. Will Kairi sacrifice her truth to keep the family together, or will the revelations destroy the bonds she's tried so hard to protect? Ashi Singh, who plays Kairi, shared, 'Kairi has always been the glue holding her little world together, but this track really tests what that love and responsibility look like when everything starts to fall apart. She's facing betrayal and blackmail, all while trying to shield the siblings who mean everything to her. What I love is how she's strong, yet vulnerable, and deeply emotional at times.' The emotional weight of Kairi's choices is set to make this upcoming track one of the most intense in the series.
