Exclusive: Aasif Sheikh of ‘Bhabiji Ghar Par Hai’ said – We never had money to eat, today stardom like Shahrukh

During this interview, Asif Sheikh talked to his wife on the phone and told that she has a problem whether I have lunch or not because if I skip lunch, I become very irritable. During this, he also recalled his bad phase and said, ‘We have been married for 28-30 years and she has stood by me in every ups and downs of my life. I have also seen those days when we did not have money to eat and she was still with us. She stayed with me and trusted me. He trusted me more than I trusted myself. My wife used to tell me that I have faith in you and you will definitely be successful one day. I respect his trust.

‘I never got the fame I always hoped for’

Asif Sheikh said on the completion of 8 years of his show, ‘You get fame, you get fame, you get name, then those things are remembered at that time. Although the bad times are also remembered and it should remain so. This is the purple patch of my life which has passed 8 years. I never got the fame in life which I always expected but this show gave me all this. Although I have done 100 and 150 films, good roles, bad roles, diamond roles, side roles, cameos, negative roles, but I have not got the fame that this show has given me and I am thankful to this show for that. ‘

‘I go to Delhi, everyone there watches this show’

He also said a few things on his comparison with Shahrukh. He said, ‘When I go to Delhi, I feel that every single person there watches this show. Because this journey of mine starts from the airport, taking photographs from there till the taxi till the hotel…the journey does not end at all. It is on everyone’s lips that we watch this show regularly and we like your work very much. I am from Delhi, so I feel very happy that the people of Delhi are watching my show and they are praising me. My responsibility has increased as an actor.

Asif said- people love me as much as Shahrukh

He further said, ‘Shahrukh Khan is also from Delhi and I am also from Delhi. Shahrukh Khan is a very big international star. I would also like to say one thing that our show is no less than theirs. As much as people love him, he does not love us less than them and people love me equally.
