He is Dev Anand's co-star and holds a world record for playing over 300 characters. Aasif Sheikh also shares special bond with Salman Khan

Vibhuti Narayan Mishra from Bhabhiji Ghar Par Hai is a favourite of everyone. The role is played by none other than Aasif Sheikh, and he has played over 35 female roles in this popular show. He won millions of hearts because of his eccentric ways of acting out many hilarious roles. Now, he once again grabbed the headlines after the release of the film Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain: Fun On The Run.

All you need to know about Aasif Sheikh

Aasif Sheikh was born on November 11, 1964, in Delhi. After completing English Honours at Khalsa College, he went on to study hotel management. His association with the theatres at Mandi House brought his passion for performing to life.



In 1984, he debuted with the daily soap opera Hum Log. His Bollywood debut was almost 38 years ago, and he has since acted in films and television series. Early in his career, Aasif also appeared on screen alongside the renowned actor Dev Anand in the 1991 movie Kahan Hai Kanoon. He reportedly earns between Rs 75,000 and Rs 80,000 per episode in his long-running part in Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain, which accounts for the majority of his income.

In 2025, the actor was listed in the World Book of Records for playing over 350 different characters on the show, including more than 35 female roles ranging from young women to elderly figures.

Aasif's connection with Salman Khan

Recently, his association with Salman Khan came into light, which dates back nearly goes back to four decades. It began in the late 1980 when both the actors were entering the Hindi film industry. Salman Khan found stardom almost immediately after making his debut in the late 1980s, while Aasif Sheikh’s journey in the industry took a slower, more uncertain route.

Despite their very different career paths, the bond between the two actors has remained strong over the years. Their association began around the time Salman was just stepping into films, shortly before Maine Pyar Kiya turned him into a household name.

As Salman’s career soared, Sheikh continued to face the ups and downs that many actors experience. During difficult phases, Salman stood by him and offered support. In past interviews, reported by India Today, Sheikh has shared how Salman helped him during periods when work was hard to come by, including recommending him for film roles.

Over the years, they also worked together in several films, including Karan Arjun, Auzaar, Pyaar Kiya To Darna Kya, Bandhan, Bharat and Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan, with Sheikh mostly appearing in supporting roles.

Even today, Sheikh says their relationship remains warm and unchanged whenever they meet, though their interactions are less frequent due to busy schedules.

While Sheikh continues his television work with Bhabiji Ghar Par Hain! Fun On The Run, Salman is gearing up for his next film, Battle of Galwan. Stay tuned!
