Exclusive: Shabir Ahluwalia on why he keeps his private life away from the spotlight; says ‘I don't like my normal life to be covered'
Television heartthrob Shabir Ahluwalia, who has wowed audiences with his charismatic roles for years, returns in a compelling new avatar in Ufff… Yeh Love Hai Mushkil. He plays Yug Sinha, a brilliant but emotionally walled-off lawyer—far from the idealistic characters he's portrayed in the past. At the launch of the show, Shabir not only spoke about this refreshing new role but also opened up about his fiercely guarded private life. 'I don't protect it, I just don't share it,' he said candidly in an interview with Times of India TV. 'You know, it's something that I feel—I enjoy it, and it's my private life. So it's not that I'm very protective or very secretive. I'm not like that. I'm a normal guy living my normal life, and it's just that my normal life is not covered too much because I don't like it to be covered.' Despite not sharing much, Shabir clarified that he's not inaccessible either. 'I'm not too guarded or anything that you can't reach out to me. Or I'm sitting in the Avengers Mansion. I'm leading a very happy, normal life.' He elaborated on why he doesn't post constantly: 'I like to share only things that are personal milestones, achievements, or things I think are worth sharing. But it's difficult for me to share every moment because I'm not into capturing everything. I'm always doing something, living in the present, and I don't feel the need to show it out there.' On Yug Sinha, he reflected, 'What intrigued me is the subtlety with which he feels things but refuses to show it… It's one of the most refreshing and challenging roles of my career.'

The show stars Shabir Ahluwalia and Ashi Singh in a love story that dives deep into emotions, scars, and the courage to love again. Shabir Ahluwalia sheds his traditional 'ideal man' image to play Yug Sinha, a brilliant lawyer known for his sharp mind and cold demeanor. Describing his character, Shabir shares, 'What intrigued me about Yug is the subtlety with which he feels things but refuses to show it… Yug is a man who has built walls around himself, someone who leads with logic and has carefully distanced himself from anything that might shake his foundation, especially love. ' He adds, 'Playing Yug Sinha in Ufff... Yeh Love Hai Mushkil is one of the most refreshing and challenging roles of my career.' On the other hand, Ashi Singh brings to life the effervescent Kairi Sharma—a vibrant, hopeful young woman with dreams in her eyes and love in her heart. Speaking about her character, Ashi says, 'Kairi is full of life, hope, and conviction. What drew me to her is that she's not afraid to be vulnerable, yet she's incredibly strong in her beliefs.' She also praises her co-star, saying, 'Working with Shabir has been amazing; he brings so much nuance and restraint to his performance, and that contrast plays out beautifully onscreen. ' Together, Yug and Kairi represent two extremes—logic and emotion, restraint and spontaneity—making Ufff... Yeh Love Hai Mushkil a love story that's not just about attraction, but about emotional evolution. Their journey, filled with sparks, scars, and healing, promises to strike a deep chord with audiences.
