Ashi Singh on staying relevant: Visibility matters, but not at the cost of quality
Television actress Ashi Singh, who made her debut with Secret Diaries: The Hidden Chapters in 2015, believes staying visible is important in the entertainment industry—especially at her current career stage. However, she is equally cautious about choosing quality over quantity when it comes to her work. Speaking about the importance of being consistently seen in today's fast-paced world, Ashi shared, 'At this stage, I do feel I need to be visible. But I don't want to take up projects just for the sake of staying in the limelight. That's where social media helps me stay connected with my audience.' The actress, known for her roles in Gumrah, Crime Patrol, and Savdhaan India, says she becomes more active on Instagram when she's not working on a project. 'I make sure to engage with fans and be present online. It helps bridge the gap between projects. If I can't be on screen at the moment, maybe I will take up something worthwhile in a few months that will bring me back into the spotlight. I don't stress too much about it,' she added. Ashi is currently seen in Sony SAB's romantic-comedy Ufff… Yeh Love Hai Mushkil, where she stars opposite Shabir Ahluwalia. The series follows Kairi, a resilient young woman raising her siblings, who frequently clashes with Yug Sinha, a cynical lawyer with a troubled past. Their initial rivalry eventually evolves into an emotional tale of love, healing, and family. Her journey has been diverse—from playing Naina Agarwal in Yeh Un Dinon Ki Baat Hai (2017–2019), to portraying Yasmine in Aladdin – Naam Toh Suna Hoga, and Meet Hooda in Meet: Badlegi Duniya Ki Reet. She also ventured into OTT with First Copy, where she starred as Afreen opposite comedian Munawar Faruqui. With a growing list of roles and a strong social media presence, Ashi Singh continues to strike a balance between relevance and meaningful storytelling.

Shubhangi Atre recalls how Rupali Ganguly would take care of her daughter Ashi during Kasturi days; says ‘I would call her Ma and she would call her Nani'
Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain actress Shubhangi Atre recently opened up about her early years in the television industry, sharing heartwarming memories and the struggles she faced as a working mother. In a candid conversation with Siddharth Kannan on his podcast, Shubhangi recalled how her Kasturi co-star Rupali Ganguly played a special role in her life off-screen as well. Shubhangi revealed, 'Ashi used to come to the set. Piyush would bring her to set. Sometimes she used to stay with me the whole day. Rupa Ganguly was playing my mother in Kasturi. So I called her Rupa Ma and Ashi called her Nani. So Rupa Ma used to take care of Ashi. And then my parents came to take care of Ashi. They came from Indore.' Reflecting on that phase, she added, 'Because I don't remember the one year in Kasturi as my birthday… I don't remember any days. I was a zombie. I used to fly like a zombie.' Discussing the demanding schedules of television at the time, Shubhangi admitted how exhausting it was to establish herself as a newcomer. 'Everyone used to rag me when I was new. I used to sit for hours on the sets. And back then, there were no 12-hour shifts. Actors were on set around the clock,' she said. Describing the long working hours in detail, she recalled, 'Sometimes when I left home on a Wednesday, I'd return only on Friday or Saturday after the telecast. It was cut-to-cut telecast, and I worked day and night. I used to shoot for 30 days non-stop.' Despite these challenges, Shubhangi believes her struggles taught her resilience. She credits those initial years for shaping her into the dedicated and versatile actress she is today. Her journey stands as a testament to the sacrifices and hard work that fuel success in the entertainment world.

Actor Ashi Singh's acting break led to her dream home in Mumbai and a new show
When Ashi Singh took a break as 'nothing much was happening on the work front', the period proved pivotal for her, as she decided to focus on her financial stability. 'For 10 years, I had been living on rent and constantly relocating. That's when I decided that I needed to check and cut down on my expenses and increase my savings, which has finally paid off,' the actor shares, adding that this disciplined approach resulted in fulfilling a dream: buying her own home, a 3BHK, in Mumbai. Ashi Singh 'It's like a dream come true,' Ashi exclaims about her new investment. 'The house represents more than just a place to live; it brings a sense of belonging along with security. Having my own place has surely made me more confident,' she states. Ashi, who has starred in shows including, Yeh Un Dinon Ki Baat Hai, Aladdin – Naam Toh Suna Hoga and Meet, did a puja ceremony at her new home in April and is currently getting the interiors done. And when it comes to decorating her new space, the actor goes for simplicity. 'I have a few things in mind for when I shift. I don't like over-the-top interiors, so I'll have a simple decor with an elegant puja ghar and a cozy reading corner.' As for work, the entertainment industry is currently going through a slowdown, which Ashi believes 'began a few years ago and is nothing new'. It is now just more evident with 'selective work, cost-cutting, and tight budgets' becoming the new norm. But she is glad to be back on TV with Ufff... Yeh Love Hai Mushkil. The actor, self-admittedly enjoys 'less dramatic and more light-hearted comic' roles, and her new part fits in that zone. 'My earlier work is a testimony to this that saas-bahu sagas are not for me,' she quips. Talking about her role in the show, Ashi adds, 'As it's a fun love story set against the backdrop of a crazy household. I play a determined young woman raising her three siblings so it's a journey of love and healing, such roles hardly cross you so when it came to me I was excited to part of the show.'

Exclusive: Ashi Singh on being able to buy a house in Mumbai; ‘I never wanted any designer brands, but this was an important target to achieve'
Actress Ashi Singh , currently seen as Kairi in Ufff…Yeh Love Hai Mushkil opposite Shabir Ahluwalia, has achieved a major personal milestone—buying her own house in Mumbai. In an exclusive conversation, Ashi opened up about what this accomplishment means to her and why it was always a top priority. Reflecting on her early days in the city, Ashi shared, 'When I shifted to Mumbai, I was still in school. We always lived on rent. And I don't know why, but people here trouble tenants a lot. It feels like they are giving us money to stay, not the other way around. Even if you pay Rs 50,000 or Rs 1 lakh in rent, you're not treated well. That's at least been our experience.' For Ashi, owning a home wasn't about luxury—it was about stability. 'I didn't want a designer bag or a good car or a sports car—nothing. I just wanted a house, which finally I got. It was an important target to achieve.' Interestingly, despite owning the home, Ashi hasn't moved in yet. 'No, no. In fact, I have not even shifted there because my shoot happens where I stay right now. My set is 10 minutes away. It doesn't make sense to live an hour away. I've always said, wherever my set is, that's where I'll live. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Thị trường có dấu hiệu suy thoái không?
