and Ravie Dubey, he openly praised them for the nurturing atmosphere they've created on set. "I've worked with many production houses and seen a lot in this industry, but the peace I feel here is something else—it genuinely feels like home,' Abhishek said. 'I'm saying this straight from the heart, ma'am, not to impress anyone, but because it's the truth. Being on this set feels like coming home to work, and that sense of comfort means everything.
'
Abhishek also spoke about the passion and dedication that flows through the team, making every shoot day feel personal and significant.
'It genuinely felt like we were losing something valuable when someone wasn't fully in it. That's how deeply connected I felt to the work here,' he added.
The actor also opened up about how closely he relates to his character, Pumma. "I can relate a lot to Pumma's character because he's just as mad as I am! He can love someone one-sidedly—and he's actually doing that in the show. Pumma's character is a lot like Abhishek: he can love from a distance, he has the patience to wait, and he's also very focused on his career. Everything that Pumma is in the show, Abhishek is in real life too.
'
Tu Aashiiki Haii promises an intense blend of love, longing, and emotional complexity.

Laughter Chefs 2's Abhishek Kumar reveals he lost a Bollywood film offer due to Khatron Ke Khiladi 14; says 'muje bura laga tha, but...'
Abhishek Kumar has opened up about losing a project following his great stint on Bigg Boss 17. In a recent interview, the actor, who is also known for shows such as Udaariyaan, said that he has signed a film following his appearance on Salman Khan 's controversial reality series. Abhishek stated that he had also received his cheque and script. However, due to scheduling conflicts, he was unable to participate in the project. While talking to Pinkvilla, Abhishek revealed, "Main kisi ko nahi bataya. Main Bigg Boss se nikalte hi maine ek film sign karli thi, workshop bhi ho gayi thi, mera cheque amount bhi aa gaya tha, mera script bhi aa gayi thi, mere pass acting teacher bhi aate the muje sikhane. Mai zyada nahi bataunga. Acha production, acchi casting thi. Sab accha tha. (I have not mentioned this to anyone. I had signed a film shortly after Bigg Boss. Workshops took place, my money arrived, my script arrived, and the acting teacher came to train me. I will not say much. The production and cast were satisfactory. Everything was nice.)" The actor explained what went wrong at the time, saying, "Jaha humara shoot tha vaha ki dates mil nahi rahi toh vaha ki dates aage badh gayi. Aur voh dates meri Khatron ka sath clash ho gayi. Khatron mai chhod nahi sakti tha." (Where the shoot was taking place, they were not receiving dates. So those dates clashed with my Khatron Ke Khiladi schedule. I couldn't leave Khatron.) Abhishek stated that the incident had left him heartbroken. "Yeh, ek project jiske liye muje bura laga tha. But fir maine aisa socha ki koi agar mere baare mein itna bhi sochta hai ki 'Isse Bollywood cast kar sakte hai' voh bhi mere liye bohot badi baat hai (This is the project that made me feel bad. But then I realised that someone was considering casting me in a Bollywood film, which is significant for me)," he remarked. However, Abhishek had once shared in Bharti's vlog that he wanted to work with Rohit Shetty , in the director's Singham trilogy.
