New Delhi: Actor Aayush Sharma has finally spoken out about the bullying he faces online since he is married to Arpita Khan, Salman Khan's sister. Social media users have long speculated that Aayush only married Arpita for her and her brother's money, as the couple tied the knot before he became famous as an actor. The actor spoke about how the criticism had impacted him and his family. He also praised Arpita, calling her a 'strong and confident' woman.
Aayush Sharma married Arpita Khan in 2014, four years before he made his acting debut in ‘Loveyatri’. They share two beautiful kids Ahil and Ayat together. An interview Aayush gave recently to the Bombay Times revealed that he is sick of hearing people talk about his and Arpita’s marriage.
He said, “Arpita is a very strong, confident woman, and it is amazing to have her as a partner. She accepts who she is. This constant trolling hasn’t affected us because she’s seen this side of showbiz, while I was new to it. What hurt me the most was that the trolls came up with a theory that I married her for money and to become an actor. I loved Arpita and so I married her! The good thing is that she knew it, I knew it, and our families knew it.”
The actor also addressed speculation that he was wildly spending Salman Khan's money. “I would get trolled even when I went on vacations, as people would say, ‘He’s blowing up Salman Khan’s money.’ There were stories that Salman Khan gifted a Rolls-Royce to us at our wedding and I am still wondering where that Rolls-Royce is,” Aayush said.
Aayush stated that Salman Khan told him the best way to silence the haters on social media was to work hard and concentrate on his work.
