\"'You're Aayush Sharma<\/a> made his debut with ‘Loveyatri’ and was later seen in ‘Antim’. Aayush is married to Salman Khan<\/a>‘s sister Arpita Khan<\/a> and has two children. In a recent interview, he candidly spoke about his struggling early days in Mumbai, revealing how his decision to pursue acting was opposed by his father. Aayush had moved to Mumbai under the guise of pursuing a BMS degree at Jai Hind College. During that time, he was living comfortably renting an apartment in Bandra, employing house help, and even convincing his father to buy him a car. However, things took a turn when his college flagged his poor attendance. <\/p>\n

Aayush Sharma Celebrates 10 Years Of Salman Khan’s ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’ He recalled during an interview with Cyrus Broacha, \u201cMy father was called by the college and told that your son\u2019s attendance is 9 percent. My dad came to Mumbai, he was quite ashamed. My mom was also upset and said, \u2018What have we not given you, we gave you a house, a car, and you\u2019ve brought us shame. We told the entire family that our child is going to Mumbai and will make something of himself.\u2019”It was during this confrontation that Aayush finally confessed his dream of becoming an actor. \u201cI told my dad that I want to be an actor. I showed him my photoshoot and my CD of my performances. It was a very important moment of my life.\u201d But instead of encouragement, he was met with blunt criticism.\u201cMy father said, \u201cNeither are you tall, nor do you have a physique, nor do you have a voice, nor are you good-looking. You have no personality whatsoever. When you walk on the road, nobody looks at you. Has anyone ever told you that you can become an actor?\u201d\u201c\u2018You are nothing close to Bachchan sahab, you are nothing close to Dharmendra ji. You are not going to be a hero at all. I am not going to pay even Rs 50 to watch you on screen.\u2019”His father also made it clear that he wouldn\u2019t support this path. \u201cHe said, \u2018I have given you money, I have given you too much support. You pack your bags, come to Himachal and do business.\u2019\u201d Cut off financially, Aayush suddenly found himself on his own. Though he still had a house and car, his savings quickly dwindled. \u201cThings came down to a point where I had Rs 20 left.\u201dAt his lowest, a friend stepped in to help. \u201cMy friend called me to say he had got a job of Rs 50,000 per month. When he found out about my situation, the next morning my account was credited with Rs 50,000.\u201d Despite the setbacks, Aayush didn\u2019t give up. He later returned home with a bold request. \u201cI went back to Himachal and said, \u2018Dad, I want Rs 10 crore to launch myself.\u2019 That\u2019s the number somebody gave me.\u201dHis father\u2019s response, however, remained as sharp as ever. \u201cHe said, \u2018Beta, tune dekha hai kabhi langde ghode pe paisa lagate ho? Main to chalo 10 crore beta samajh ke de bhi dunga, but tere ko dekhne kaun aayega?\u2019 (Have you ever seen anyone bet money on a lame horse? I might still give you Rs 10 crore thinking of you as my son, but who will come to watch you?)\u201d It was ultimately his grandfather who intervened and persuaded his father to give him another chance. \u201cLuckily, my grandfather told my dad that he is the first one in the family who is trying to do something on his own. Give him a chance and a timeline and my father re-started giving me money.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Aayush Sharma made his debut with ‘Loveyatri’ and was later seen in ‘Antim’.
