The video of Saiyyonee which launched on March 17 already has over 8 million views and expressing his gratefulness to fans, Asim tells City Times, “I feel blessed that people are appreciating my work and sharing love towards Saiyyonee.”
When asked what is special about this particular video, Asim reveals, “Every music video is special to me, I give my best in all! Saiyyonee is special and different because it was shot on a green screen with VFX which has made the video so fabulous that the people will love its vibe.”
The 27-year-old admits it was “amazing” to star alongside Khuda Haafiz actress Shivaleeka Oberoi in the video. “We’ve worked on a project first time together. She is very sweet and always dedicated towards her work. Good Vibes.”
His pairing with Himanshi Khurana is much loved by fans. Does he plan to work with her again? “Yes, I will, in fact, we have a couple of projects lined up which will be releasing soon.”
Asim was spotted in Dubai in February, a few of his Instagram shots sent fans into a tizzy about his next project. When asked to comment on his visit and the city, he says, “I was there to shoot the cover of an international magazine. Dubai is an amazing place to visit! I have been traveling to Dubai frequently for shoots; I just love the vibe. I can’t say which is my favorite place in the city since every place in Dubai is so commendable but yes, I do visit Downtown for sure whenever I’m there.”
Many fan clubs on social media tweet about and appreciate every project of his. How does it feel to be the subject of so much love?
Asim who has appeared in several television commercials and also had a part in the 2014 film Main Tera Hero, described his decade-long journey in the entertainment industry as a mix of “struggle” and “success”. “I have completed 10 years in this industry; my journey has seen a lot of ups and downs which include struggle, success… everything. I would just like to say stay motivated and focused. Good things will take place – just believe in what you do.”
