Surfing through mushland

The makers of Qubool Hai are going out of the way to ensure that Asad and Zoya have a fairytale wedding, after having gone through their trials and tribulations. Interestingly, the wedding sequence has been shot against the backdrop of Taj Mahal. It’s a first for any serial to have a sequence shot against the renowned monument of love. Surbhi Jyoti, who plays Zoya in the show, is very kicked about the wedding sequence. “It was an ‘Oh My God’ moment for me. I always knew that whenever the Asad-Zoya nikaah happens, it will be a grand one. But that it would happen near Taj Mahal was unimaginable.” Raqesh Vashisht, who recently replaced Karan Singh Grover as Asad, says, “I would really like to take this opportunity to thank the viewers for accepting me in this role. As for the Taj Mahal wedding, I feel really privileged. This nikaah is something the viewers have been looking forward to, and it’s time we give them a memorable treat,” says Vashisht, adding, “Someday I’ll renew my marraige vows again with my wife (Riddhi Dogra) in front of Taj.”

Shilpa Saklani and Karan Vir Bohra to team up

Yeh Hai Aashiqui’s Valentine’s Day special will feature Shilpa Saklani and Karan Vir Bohra for the first time together. Saklani, who was last seen on reality show Bigg Boss 7, will be seen in a fiction show after a long time. The story in this episode is about Aditi (Saklani’s character) dating Rohan (Karan Vir), who is eight years younger to her. Commitment phobic, Aditi runs away when Rohan asks her to marry him. She returns when Rohan is about to marry another girl. Saklani says that the story is similar to Devdas. “I was told it’s a Valentine’s Day episode. In the process of having shot it, I can assure that the episode is full of love and passion. I’m glad I did it because I love the whole idea of mushy love. I guess it’s good to send out a message for people to fall in love,” she says. The actress who’s been on a break from television before Bigg Boss, says that she said yes to be a part of this episode of Yeh Hai Aashiqui, only because it’s full of love and passion, and she’s looking forward to doing much more work from here on.
