Aashif Sheikh turns spiritual guru on TV show

New Delhi: Actor Aashif Sheikh, who essays Vibhuti Narayan in TV show “Bhabhiji Ghar Par Hain?”, will soon transform himself into a holy spiritual guru 'Vibhutanand' for his onscreen wife Angoori (Shilpa Shinde).

In the upcoming track, after learning about Angoori’s devotion towards a certain guru, Vibhuti will don a saint's avatar -- quite similar to the guru that she worships. 

Aashif will be seen talking to plants, performing magic tricks and observing an indefinite fast.

“It was a tough task, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. Yes, I did have to stay in the Saadhu’s avatar for a long time. But then again it was a challenging task to maintain the subtlety in tone and to express various gestures and yet be my mischievous self,” Aashif said in a statement.

Shilpa says when she saw Aashif on the set dressed as 'Vibhutanand', she didn’t “recognise” him. 

The episode featuring Aashif as 'Vibhutanand' will be aired on Friday on &TV.
