Exclusive | Ashi Singh on Ufff Yeh Love Hai Mushkil: I’ve picked up valuable life lessons from Shabir Ahluwalia and Supriya Shukla

Talking about what challenges with the character, Ashi said, "Yes, many times. The current track we’re shooting, where my siblings are leaving me, and the hospital scene with Maeri have been particularly challenging. When you step onto the set, you have to completely immerse yourself in that emotional space because you genuinely empathise with the character and what she’s going through. It’s not just about shedding tears; it’s about truly experiencing that pain from within. Portraying such emotional intensity required me to remain in that mindset, and slipping in and out of it wasn’t easy." 

On working with Shabir Ahluwalia and Surpiya Shukla, "I’ve been learning so much from them, truly, every single day. They’re both incredibly talented and experienced, and their support during scenes means a lot. Sometimes they’ll say, “You’re doing great, but try this small adjustment,” and that subtle suggestion can make a world of difference. Their input consistently helps elevate my performance. What I admire most, though, is how grounded they are not just as actors, but as individuals. It’s more than just acting; I’ve picked up valuable life lessons from them as well. They’ve contributed to my personal growth and self-grooming in such a positive way. They’re both genuinely kind and down-to-earth."

 

Ashi shares how Kairi has polished her acting skills, "Yes, of course. This role is very different from all my past work. And that change has definitely helped me grow as an actor; it’s enhanced both my performance and the way I approach my craft. When you act every day, you learn something new every day. You keep polishing yourself with each scene. And because I’ve been consistently working on this show, I feel like I’m getting more refined with every step."

Ashi gets candid about what's in store for the fans with Kairi's journey, "Right now, we’re shooting a track where Kairi is falling for Yug, and she’s very confused. She’s thinking, ‘This can’t be possible, he hasn’t been good to me, he’s always been rude.’ But despite all of that, she still finds herself falling for him. I personally connect with that emotion because I think we’ve all been there, when you know something isn’t right for you, and yet, it still happens. You can’t control your heart or your feelings. I believe that’s what will really resonate with people, the honesty of that emotional conflict."
