Shabir Ahluwalia is a name that television fans have cherished for years. Known for his charming screen presence and impressive performances, he has built a loyal fan base. After a successful run on various shows, the actor is all set to return to the screen. His fans are eagerly waiting to see him back in action. Recently, Shabir made an appearance on Bharti Singh’s podcast, where he opened up about his personal life and experiences as a father. The conversation gave fans a glimpse of the actor beyond the spotlight.
During the chat, Bharti asked Shabir about life with two sons. Shabir smiled and said, “Jaise kehte hai na ek se bhale do, voh ek reason ke liye kehte hai.” He explained how handling one child can be exhausting because their energy is on a different level. Matching that energy, planning games, and keeping them entertained every day becomes a task. While it’s fun, it also demands effort. Shabir shared that having two children changes the whole scene at home. He added that when there are two, they play together, exhaust each other, and when they finally come to the parents, it’s only to say they are hungry. He believes this is why people often say two is better than one.
He further explained that initially, it’s tough to manage two little ones. But as they grow older, especially after the age of four or five, they become each other’s best playmates. Shabir mentioned how they no longer need to plan activities for them because the children entertain each other. He said it’s a blessing to watch them grow and bond. The joy of seeing them laugh and run around the house makes every effort worth it.
Along with Shabir, actress Ashi Singh also featured in the podcast episode. Both actors spoke about their show Ufff Yeh Love Hai Mushkil. They discussed how much fun it was working together and shared a few interesting behind-the-scenes stories. Ashi mentioned that working with Shabir has been a wonderful experience because he makes everyone on set feel comfortable and keeps the atmosphere light. Their conversations on the podcast brought a smile to listeners’ faces, as they spoke with warmth and honesty about their work and personal lives.
Shabir, who has always kept his family life private, opened up a little more this time. He married actress Kanchi Kaul on November 27, 2011. The couple’s love story has been admired by many in the industry. They welcomed their first son in 2014 and their second in 2016. Talking about his marriage, Shabir expressed how grateful he feels to have a supportive partner like Kanchi. He believes that having a strong, understanding relationship makes parenthood easier and more beautiful.
In the podcast, Shabir also shared how parenting teaches you patience and the ability to find joy in small, everyday moments. The way his sons bring life and energy into the house keeps him grounded. He enjoys playing with them, watching them fight and make up within minutes, and listening to their innocent conversations.
