Yasir plays the role of Yug who is sharp, over confident and a self made man. Yasir came to India and auditioned for a role in a serial called ‘Khwaish’, where he played the role of Azaan, before the show went off air.

Produced by Siddhartha Basu’s Synergy Adlabs, Jiya Jale is a classic love story of the beautiful and innocent Sunaina Kotak (Sriti Jha), who is beginning to fall in love with the idea of love when she meets Chandan Bhimani (Saurav Pandey). Yasir’s entry in the show as Yuvi, the top lawyer, is sure to raise the drama quotient by several notches.

Commenting on his role, Yasir Shah said, “I am delighted that I got a chance to play the second lead in a show like Jiya Jale which is produced under the big banner of Synergy Adlabs and is airing on 9X – a channel which has gain immense popularity among young Indians. Coming from Pakistan, I consider myself fortunate that I have the best platform in India to showcase my acting talent.”
