CNN Central News & Network-ITDC India Press/Press. ITDC News Bhopal: Actor Aayush Sharma is married to Salman Khan’s younger sister Arpita Khan. Aayush made his film debut in 2018 with the romantic drama Loveyatri. The film was backed by Salman Khan. Aayush’s next film was also a Salman Khan Films production, Antim: The Final Truth, also featuring Salman. Earlier in his career, Aayush faced the allegation that he married Salman’s sister for money. In a recent chat, Aayush addressed these allegations and dismissed them.

Speaking to Siddharth Kannan, Aayush said, “Social media decided a lot of the things for me. I remember when I was getting married some said that I got a diamond-studded sherwani as a gift. I still haven’t gotten that sherwani. Some said I got Bentley in dowry. Where is that Bentley? Not that I want it.”

He said, “The media made me a businessman from Delhi and I was thinking I am not a businessman from any angle. I come from a political background. My father is a politician and I am a struggling actor, so how did I became a businessman I don’t know. People commented on my marriage saying that I married for money, career and entry in Bollywood. I come from a good family, from a political background. Ma Baap ka mila bahut kuch hai life mein (Have gotten enough from my parents), I never had a craving for money.”

Aayush continued, “Also, I had given 300 auditions before getting an entry in Bollywood and me and Arpita became friends at the time I was a struggling actor. So, will Arpita not know about my character before marriage? Was she that naive? Won’t the whole Khan family know about me? This is a baseless conversation.”

Aayush also revealed that he was willing to quit acting before his marriage. but it was Salman Khan who offered to help him. He said, “What they don’t know is that when my marriage with Arpita was finalised I told Salman sir that I don’t want to act because I had given 300 auditions and nothing happened. I told him I can’t do it. He said that my training hasn’t been good and offered to train me.”

Aayush will soon be seen in Ruslaan. Aayush’s Ruslaan is his first venture outside his brother-in-law’s production house.
