Shabir, fans have always adored your chemistry with Sriti Jha in Kumkum Bhagya. What was it like working so closely with her?
Shabir Ahluwalia: Working with Sriti was a fantastic experience. She’s not just a brilliant co-actor, she’s one of the finest actresses we have in the television industry. There was a natural ease and understanding between us, which made every scene flow seamlessly. We complemented each other’s energy, and that truly reflected on screen.
Could you share an example of your creative synergy during the show?
Oh, absolutely. There were times when a scene was originally written as just one page, but we’d improvise and develop it so much that it would stretch into three or four pages. That level of collaboration made the process really enjoyable. When you’re part of a long-running show like Kumkum Bhagya, you pour your heart into it, and having a co-star like Sriti makes all the difference.
There’s no doubt that Shabir and Sriti’s bond remains one of the most treasured in Indian television. Their mutual admiration and compelling performances continue to hold a special place in the hearts of viewers everywhere.
