Aayush Sharma: "Launch helps you but then you have to go there every Friday to prove yourself again and again.

The actor Aayush Sharma is a member of one of the biggest cinema families (the Salman Khan clan) and is frequently criticized for having it easy. However, the actor tells us that he has faced his own share of difficulties. "I am married into a family in the film industry, but that's different. From the outside, the sector appeared to be very glitzy. After the launch, it seemed like things would be simple. My life would be changed by just one movie, I thought. The actor, whose debut feature Love Yatri was released in October 2018, says, "Launch helps you but then you have to go there every Friday to prove yourself again and again." He further adds, "But that was the biggest bubble that was burst."

Now, the actor is making an effort to establish himself, but he is not in a rush. Sharma wants to take his time in order to study, work, and establish his viability. And while doing so, does not mind a brief absence from the spotlight. "Working on a movie is crucial to me. In addition, I don't think it's absolutely necessary to be photographed every day or to be the center of attention all the time. I believe that today, effort alone is crucial. And if you're producing quality work, people will remember you, he adds.

Sharma goes on to say that he is a very quiet guy by nature, and that also contributes to the fact that he avoids the pap culture and continual social media posting. "In my opinion, the distinction between an influencer and an actor is fading. Personally, I find this to be undesirable. But I don't mind if it works for other people. I consider myself to be an actor, and that is what I intend to accomplish," he says.

Even though he has only been in two films, he feels "grateful". However, the actor is keen to note that he wants to perform more experimental work. "I wanted to make an action movie once Love Yatri came out. I was, however, refused action scripts. I was painted as the stereotypical chocolate lad or lover boy. I can recall starting to work on my body at a time when the narration for a romance movie was scheduled to take place. I learned that the same production company is also producing an action movie. I went to the narration while wearing a Ganji to give them the impression that I can also do an action-packed movie," he laughs and concludes.
