Aayush on bro-inlaw Salman: He’s high on fitness

In his first film, Loveyatri, Aayush Sharma played a boynext-door. And now, the actor will be seen doing full-fledged action in his next, a remake of the hit 2018 Marathi movie Mulshi Pattern. To fit into the role, Aayush has ditched his lean frame and beefed up his body.

The actor, who believes in experiment­ing with his looks, is obviously happy. However,

he shares that it’s very difficult for him to put on weight and he even had to seek help from his brother-in-law and mentor, actor Salman Khan.

“I have a very lean frame so gaining weight is an issue for me. So when I had to get the look right for my next, I started training and eating right. But it took me a lot of time and efforts to get things right,” he says.

Talking about how Salman helped him, Aayush shares that Salman is somebody who is high on fitness. “He told me that it’s very important to build up your lower body. A lot of people just concentrat­e on their upper bodies. Also he told me that it is very important to push yourself to get things going,” Aayush adds.

The actor shares that training with Salman helped him a lot. “While busy shooting for Dabangg 3, he would call me on the set and we would work out together… He is happy with the way I look now,” quips Aayush, who’s always looking for diverse characters.

“When I started out as an actor, I always had this in mind that I won’t get comfortabl­e in playing one kind of roles. Surprising the audience and myself is important. I am thinking of doing something different again in my third film… Will never stop experiment­ing.” Aayush concludes.
