Starring opposite Shabir Ahluwalia's emotionally guarded Yug Sinha, Ashi reflects on the emotional depth and personal connection she has found through the role
Ashi Singh
Ufff…Yeh Love Hai Mushkil continues to explore the complexities of love, and at the heart of the show is Yug Sinha (Shabir Ahluwalia), a brilliant but emotionally guarded lawyer who shields himself from any vulnerability. Opposite him is Kairi Sharma (Ashi Singh), a spirited and sensitive law student who believes in love wholeheartedly, but finds herself caught in a whirlwind of conflicted emotions. In this candid chat, Ashi Singh dives into the emotional toll, personal reflections, and powerful evolution of playing Kairi, one of her most layered roles yet.
Ashi talks about her character's similarities with her personal life
Ashi talks about her character, "Initially, when I started playing Kairi and reading the scripts, I thought she only had two major emotions. But now, as I’m living the character, I’m genuinely surprised by her complexity, especially her conflicted emotions. She often feels one thing but does another. Her mind tries to stop her from doing certain things, but her heart leads her in a different direction. That contrast is really interesting to play, reflect on, and feel."
On drawing similarities in real life, "In real life, I genuinely believe that love and trust are among the most beautiful emotions one can experience. However, I’m someone who tends to keep my guard up. It takes me a little time to truly trust or fall in love with someone. But once I do, I give it my all. In that sense, I really connect with Kairi. My motto is to spread as much love as possible… though I must admit, I’m still a bit different from her too."
On her chemistry with Shabir Ahluwalia onscreen
Ashi gets candid about her chemistry with Shabir, "Honestly, I’m not sure. Maybe it’s because when we’re playing our characters, we’re completely immersed in them. Whatever bond we share off-screen, the moment the camera rolls, we become Yug and Kairi. We carry their emotions, and maybe that’s what makes it feel so beautiful and effortless on screen."
She further quipped, "I always strive to make each of my characters different from one another. But with Kairi, the experience has been unique. I genuinely like her, and this time, I didn’t feel the need to create too much distance between the character and myself. In many ways, Kairi feels like an extension of Ashi. I’ve poured a lot of myself into her she’s responsible, cheerful, someone who brushes off stress and keeps moving forward, always seeking solutions and I connect with that. If there’s one quality I’d love to adopt from Kairi, she cannot overthink. I tend to overanalyse things a lot, and that’s definitely something I could learn from her."
