Ruslaan has been friends with Shaheer for over 11 years now shared that having a friend on the set makes it like a comfort zone. "I have known Shaheer for such a long time, and I never thought that someday we will be working together. Today when we are working together it’s so much fun. Right now the things are so bad in the world, so just going on the set where people, who you are working with, are your friends or you have an emotional bond with them, it eases things. With Shaheer on the sets, even though I am going for work, I don’t get that work kind of feeling,” he said. Yeh Rishtey Hain Pyaar Ke Actress Kaveri Priyam’s Instagram Account Gets Hacked.

"In the beginning, I was worried that I will miss being at home, because for three months you are at home and suddenly if you go out, you start missing all the things you did at home, but because of Shaheer, I feel much more comfortable and sometimes I even forget also what is going on in the world,” Ruslaan added. Ruslaan Mumtaz 'Family Members Will Not Be Allowed To See The Baby Because of Social Distancing'

He even went on to praise the producer and his team for being polite and also taking care of all the precautionary and safety measures during this Coronavirus pandemic. Said Ruslaan, "Everyone is so polite and caring on the set. That says a lot about the producer because at the end of the day he is the boss, and the kind of values he has, he will ask his employees to follow because everyone is really polite and that is something I think they learn from their boss."

Talking about the safety precautions arranged for everyone on set, Ruslaan, who began shooting for the show a few days back, revealed, "It’s very strict, everyone is very careful. I think any safety measures that a producer can follow are being followed on the set. There is very little chance that anybody can get infected on the set, if somebody gets infected then that’s a different thing, but on the set, it’s not possible."
