What's new on TV

It’s makeover time for Ashi Singh

It’s common to see actors walking an extra mile while prepping for their roles. Ashi Singh, who plays Naina in '

Yeh Un Dinon Ki Baat Hai

', has a rather cute story to share as she prepares to embark on a new journey on the show.
She was asked to get waxing done and her eyebrows threaded, as her character turns into a collegian. Ashi says, “I am blessed with natural, well-shaped eyebrows and never felt the need for waxing. However, the makers have introduced a change in Naina’s personality and looks as she enters college. It was a painful experience — getting the eyebrows done was more painful than waxing.”
