These days, newcomers are ruling the tinsel town and how! Ever since the world rang onto New Year 2018, we all were eager to see a whole new bunch of newcomers entering the showbiz world. One of the most prominent newcomer being, Salman Khan’s brother-in-law and Arpita Khan Sharma’s hubby, Aayush Sharma.

His soon-to-release film, LoveYatri, is all set to hit the theatres and fans can’t truly contain their excitement. Being a ‘married debutant’, there’s an additional pressure on Aayush to make a mark for himself in the industry, living upto his celebrity in-law’s expectations and make his audience believe in him as an actor. Aayush has time and again shared in interviews what a great support system his wife, Arpita has been throughout his journey. And we can totally see that and how!
In an interview with Filmfare, Aayush spoke about wifey Arpita Khan Sharma, living upto his brother-in-law’s expectations and linkup rumours in the future (which is a given in the glamour world). Sharing how Arpita is his backbone, Aayush stated, “She’s been my support from day one. She’s my backbone. She’s warm and caring. I didn’t know the seriousness of this profession. When I started training under Bhai it came as a rude shock. I realised it’s not as easy as it looks. She was the one, who kept me motivated. She said, Listen you have to do it for me, for our son Ahil, for yourself. Like one day I had to do an action sequence in Gujarat. But I was unwell. Arpita told me on the phone, You can declare a pack-up. No problem. But remember, when one day Ahil goes on the set, he should hear that his father used to perform like this and under such conditions. That will motivate Ahil to work harder. Arpita’s one person, who never gives up. On days when I come home tired, she says, be grateful you have work. There are many, who wait for this opportunity. So, don’t let it go.” (Also Read: Arpita Khan's Tattoo On Aayush Sharma's Hand Is Adorable Beyond Words, Picture Inside)
Unlike most newcomers in the industry who are singles, Aayush is a married newcomer. Is this tag going to affect his career in the near future? He shared, “When Arpita was carrying Ahil, I had a conversation with Sohail Bhai. I said that I’m married and will turn a father soon. Will people accept me? He replied, The only superstar in this country who’s not married is Salman Khan. Everyone else is married. So marriage has nothing to do with what you’re doing. The only thing that matters is hard work and whether people like what you’re doing in front of the camera. Till date, I can’t have Arpita on set when I’m doing a romantic scene. I get conscious. She has this smirk on her face when I perform well. She’s seen me during my worst phase. During my first photo-shoot with Warina, I kept saying I can’t do it. Arpita said, Listen if you want to be an actor, you better be prepared for all this.”
Bollywood and linkup rumours go hand-in-hand. How is Aayush planning to handle it? He shared, “When link-ups happen, we will figure. Right now, there’s nothing of that sort. (Laughs) Actually, I don’t know how I’ll get linked up because most of the actresses are Arpita’s friends. But seriously, if there’s anything of this sort in the future, I won’t ever explain things because one should maintain the dignity of one’s marriage. If your wife and you know the truth, why do you need to explain things to others? Right?” (Don't Miss!

When Arpita saw her hubby in the film, she badly wanted Aayush (his character in the film, of course!) to get the girl he was pursuing. His upcoming movie also taught him to look beyond money. Aayush himself shared the same in the interview, “It’s taught me a lot. Salman Bhai has given me this launch pad. I wanted to give my 200 per cent. It isn’t about the money anymore. It’s about delivering to people’s expectations. When Bhai saw the rushes, he said, Good job. That was the biggest achievement for me. When my father-in-law (Salim Khan) saw the film, he said, You’re reserved, but on camera you’re something else. These things are valuable. When Arpita saw the film, she forgot that I was her husband. She was rooting for me to get the girl. That’s so sweet!”
Do you know something? Salman Khan had sent innumerous scripts to Aayush before he finalised LoveYatri. Why did he do so? Aayush replied, “I wanted to debut as an actor. I didn’t want to become a hero at first shot. Stardom will come only when people first accept me as an actor. Although I don’t come from a film family, Salman Bhai’s tag is attached to me. People would say I’m trying to ape him. I want people to say that I deserve to be an actor. Coming to LoveYatri, my character Shushrut is an honest guy, who falls in love and pursues the girl. A lot of instances that had happened in my life were there in the film too. Those innocent moments when you fall in love, the freshness of a relationship, the anticipation, LoveYatri is all about that.” (You May Also Like: Salman Khan Had A Fun Canvas Painting Session With 'Bhaanja' Ahil, His Cute Fall-Down Is Unmissable)
