Salman Khan’s Unexpected Support
Bollywood actor Aayush Sharma got married to Salman Khan ‘s sister, Arpita Khan , even before he made his Bollywood debut. In a recent conversation with Cyrus Broacha, Aayush revealed how Salman was on their side, but his own father was shocked to know Arpita wants to marry him.
Aayush revealed that Salman never suspected that Arpita was dating him until one day, when Salman walked into the room while they were watching Koffee With Karan and realised they were dating. He revealed that he thought he would be beaten up, but that didn’t happen. Later, Salman asked to meet him.

Parents’ Initial Shock and Disbelief
He added, “Salman bhai said, ‘tum actor ban sakte ho (you can be an actor)’, that was the most beautiful moment of my life, until then nobody had said this, and I am like no one believes in me. He was pretty straightforward, he said, ‘but you are in a bad state, you look like sh*t, you are not trained well. To be an actor, you need to do multiple things; just going to acting school is not enough.'”
He then revealed his parents’ reaction after he decided to marry Arpita within 1 year. He revealed that his parents had no idea he was dating Arpita, let alone that he had already fixed his marriage. He revealed being worried about telling this to his dad. He added, “My parents came to Mumbai, and I introduced them to Arpita. My mom asked her, “Aap Salman ki behan ho? (You are Salman’s sister?)’ Then I told my father, ‘Dad, yeh meri girlfriend hai (she is my girlfriend).’ My dad chuckled and said, ‘toh uski behan tere saath kya kar rahi hai? (What is her sister doing with you?)’ He just had a weird expression on his face. My mom was taken aback, and my father was very quiet.”
Aayush’s Bollywood Dreams and Arpita
Aayush admitted that his father was shocked to learn of it and even questioned what Arpita’s family saw in him.

Aayush revealed that when Salman told his father that he would train him to be an actor, his father was shocked to know that Salman saw potential in him.
Aayush’s journey from a struggling actor to marrying into Bollywood royalty was met with disbelief and eventual acceptance from his family. Salman Khan’s support proved pivotal in his career and personal life.
