I make sure not to miss any of the matches: Shabbir Ahluwalia

Shabbir Ahluwalia

He is the sexy bad boy of Indian television we just don’t seem to get enough of. Shabbir Ahluwalia has swept the viewers off their feet with his raw take on characters and their exceptional portrayal on screen. He has been a part of popular television sitcoms like Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, Kahin To Milenge, Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii, Kahiin To Hoga, Kya Hadsaa Kya Haqeeqat, Kkavyanjali, Kasautii Zindagii Kay, Kayamath, Laagi Tujhse Lagan, and is currently seen in Zee TV’s popular show Kumkum Bhagya as Rockstar Abhi.

The athletic streak of the popular actor comes alive underneath the sun when he indulges in a friendly football match with all his buddies from the industry every now and then. And amidst the exciting FIFA Fever 2014, Tellychakkar.com catches up with the handsome lad to know more about his love and passion for the game. Take a look.

Are you gripped by FIFA fever?

I don’t know if I am gripped by FIFA Fever or not. But I love FIFA World Cup. It is one of the biggest football tournaments in the world. So it keeps me hooked on to the TV set. I make sure not to miss any of the matches.

Which team do you think will win the cup this season?

I had a very strong feeling that Netherlands would have won the FIFA Cup this season. They were a strong team with some exceptional players one of them being Arjen Robben.

Are you a diehard football fan?

Yes, I am a diehard football fan. I loved the sport as a kid and I continue to have the same passion and love for football even today. All my friends from the industry often meet up for an all-star friendly football match. It is always a delight to see how football binds us all together like nothing else does.

So how do you catch up on the games in your busy schedule? You prefer being a Couch Potato with TV or Mobile-On-The Move?

I prefer watching the games on television as compared to mobile apps. I think the experience of watching a FIFA match live on television is unmatchable. But I think with changing times, mobile is certainly a viable option to experience and enjoy the game.

In India many people are doing so using apps such as . Are you familiar with Everywhere TV and would you download it?

Yes, I have heard about but have not got a chance to explore yet. In time to come I will. 

Now tell us about your favourite player?

My favorite footballers keep changing from time to time depending on the series and their performances in the same. As of now, I admire Netherlands footballer Arjen Robben. I think he has an amazing speed and he surely makes a difference to every match. He is one of the fastest footballers and his speed coupled with his flexibility on the field makes him a deadly combination.

Do you think the Indian Football Team will ever play in the FIFA World Cup?

Inshallah! It will definitely happen. I think there is a lot of talent and potential in the young football aspirants. They look promising. Efficient training and support is all that they need to represent our nation on the international level. And that day will be one of the greatest days in the history of Indian sports.

Before signing off, football is all about goals. So what’s your goal in life?

Football is all about goals so I want to score more and more goals in life. 

Tellychakkar.com wishes you all the very best Shabbir. May you score more and more goals always. Cheers!!!
