Why Aayush is unfazed by gossip
Rishabh Suri
Actor Aayush Sharma, who recently made his acting debut with LoveYatri, is still learning the tricks of the trade. It’s naturally tough to make it big in a cut-throat industry like Bollywood, and then there are the rumours and speculations that one has to deal with on a daily basis.
There were many conjectures made when Aayush married actor Salman Khan’s sister, Arpita Khan, and got a film produced by Salman. However, Aayush is unfazed by them.
“You don’t need to explain anything to people you know well. I am somebody [about] whom there was a lot of conjecture... about my relationship with Arpita. I never felt the need to explain it. Me and my wife need to have that strong bond. Whatever people may say or do, I am not going to demean my marriage by going out there and having a conversation. I will never do that,” he says.
Aayush maintains that nothing really affects him; he rather laughs it all off.
“People are free to have their own perspectives, I can’t control people’s minds,” he adds.
Did Salman guide him on how to tackle all this? “He didn’t. [Look] at his life... there was a lot of conversation about him also. He never went out to explain himself, and that’s how it is. When I got married, I was not even a celebrity. My wife is a celebrity’s sister; she was not a celebrity herself. Having said that, for us to get that kind of attention, it was funny! But if we got it, it didn’t make me feel like I am a popular person,” shares Aayush.
