Actor Ashim Gulati, who was last seen on the small screen in the TV show "Gulmohar Grand", will be essaying the character of an athlete in the upcoming episode of "Yeh Hai Aashiqui" and the actor says he "thoroughly" enjoyed the experience.

"I thoroughly enjoyed the experience working with the team, and I hope that fans of the show shower their appreciation on the episode, just like they have been doing throughout all the seasons,” Ashim said in a statement.

The upcoming episode of the show will focus on two characters -- Anokhi played by actress Sanaya Pithawalla and Ayush essayed by Ashim, who are deeply in love, but still haven’t reached a point where they can confess their feelings for each other.

Talking about his role, Ashim said: “I play the character of Ayush, a college student athlete smitten by a girl at first sight."

The bindaas channel's show airs on Sunday.
