Bollywood actor Aayush Sharma has addressed the ongoing debate surrounding nepotism, revealing his challenges in navigating the industry since his debut. Despite his entry into Bollywood through Salman's backing in his first film "Loveyatri" (2018), Aayush has faced accusations of leveraging his family ties for an easy career path.
Aayush candidly addressed the rumors circulating about lavish gifts allegedly received from the Khan family at his wedding to Arpita Khan.
Dismissing the speculations, Aayush, according to Indian Express, expressed his frustration, stating that he never received the extravagant items, such as a diamond-studded sherwani or a Bentley, as rumored on social media.
Asserting his stance against the accusations, Aayush emphasized his background in politics and clarified that he never had a craving for wealth. He debunked the notion of marrying for financial gain or Bollywood entry, emphasizing his contentment with what his parents have provided him.
Additionally, Aayush shed light on his journey as a struggling actor before his marriage to Arpita, revealing that he had given numerous auditions in pursuit of a breakthrough role. He revealed the involvement of the Khan family in his life, highlighting the baseless nature of the accusations questioning his character and motives.
Furthermore, Aayush disclosed Salman Khan's role in encouraging him to pursue acting despite initial setbacks. Despite the underwhelming performance of his debut film ‘Loveyatri,’ Aayush persevered and later starred alongside Salman in ‘Antim,’ which fared moderately at the box office.
Currently, Aayush is busy promoting his upcoming film ‘Ruslaan,’ directed by Karan Lalit Butani.
