Producer Krishna Pandhare shared his journey, stating, “I had an attraction towards the film industry as I like movies a lot. But due to my busy business schedule, I never thought seriously about films. During a business meeting with writer Vaibhav Kulkarni, I heard the captivating story of the film which I liked a lot and at that moment I decided to step into film production and established Geetai Productions. My mother’s name is Geetai and I wanted to start a new business with her name, so I decided to name the production house as Geetai Productions. My wife Sunita took the responsibility of the production house and produced the Hindi film “The Rabbit House”.

Director Vaibhav Kulkarni expressed his gratitude, saying ‘Mr. and Mrs. Pandhare provided immense support throughout the shoot. They emphasized that the artistic quality should be paramount, regardless of the budget, which gave us the confidence to work freely and for which I am very thankful to them.”

Opening up about the varied aspects of social media and the change of perception and approach on the internet over the years, Aayush Sharma engaged in a hearty interaction connecting with his young audience. Putting forth his earnest, witty and candid persona, Aayush won hearts at the TedX Talks.

The star was greeted with abundant love from his young fans as they lined up for selfies and danced with Aayush on his chartbuster Chogada.

Here are some of the highlights of the engaging and entertaining conversation.

Man with multiple identities: Despite turning into a national sensation with the release of his first song ‘Chogada’ from debut film ‘LoveYatri’ and earning accolades for his second film ‘Antim: The Final Truth’, Aayush Sharma calls himself an aspiring actor and revealed his tryst with identity crisis at TedX Talks.

Having worked in two films, multiple music videos and served as an assistant director for four years before beginning his acting stint, Aayush Sharma, however, still struggles to be identified as an actor, and is most often called as ‘Arpita’s husband’, ‘Ahil’s father’ and most importantly ‘Salman Khan’s brother-in-law’.

Sharma earned appreciation and popularity with LoveYatri and Antim: The Final Truth, carving his place in the entertainment industry. While the actor is now known to have a filmy family connection, Aayush Sharma had his share of journey, from auditioning with a CD of his performance to being a background dancer.

Aayush Sharma revealed his initial days in Showbiz as he graduated from an acting school with a tape of his performance to Amitabh Bachchan’s popular scene from Deewar- Aaj Khush Toh Bahot Hoge Tum, also pointing out the changing times and approach for auditions. Earlier, actors would carry their CD/ tapes to auditions, while today, just reels are enough!

The Wedding Uproar: A common man on social media suddenly turned into one of the most trending names on social media as Aayush Sharma got married to Arpita Khan. The internet was flooded with trolls ranging from topics of marrying outside religion, to Aayush’s intentions of money and fame, which had a rippling effect on the family. Aayush spoke about the continuing tags and criticism he and his wife face, over her looks, weight and complexion, addressing the negatives of the medium.

The actor also highlighted the undefined space of his existence, where, Aayush neither fits the outsider bill nor bears the nepotism tag! Not having born as a star-kid, Aayush had his own journey and struggles, however, being married in a filmy family, projects him as a product of nepotism, leaving him forever confused about his status in the industry.

Need Lesson for his kids: While the nepotism conversation is never-ending, Aayush Sharma discovered the warmth of social media with the birth of his kids, who were showered with abundant love. Acknowledging the same, Aayush spoke about his lessons to his kids, wherein he instills gratitude for the love and demands from his kids to be worthy of the love poured on them.

Perception v/s reality: Aayush Sharma pointed out the blantant and stark difference between the perception on social media and the ground reality, with filtered and curated posts and the BTS. On the same tangent, Aayush recalled the response to his first film, where the actor saw his career demolishing in front of his eyes, mere hours after the release, basis the negative reviews all over social media. However, his mind was blown when he opened to reality as his wife Arpita took him to Gaiety Galaxy, where people not only loved him in the film, but also got on the chairs and danced to his song, mobbed him and showcased their love.

Looks could be deceiving: Social media today has also conferred obsessive importance to appearances, visual appeal, aesthetics over reality, forcing the public to mould oneself to deliver unrealistic expectations. Aayush Sharma revealed that while the internet has hailed him for his physical transformation, what’s seen on screen is a product of routine and training for months, aided by good lights, cinematography, and editing. For one scene, lasting for a day, actors are on a strict diet with no water, food to deliver one take with the perfect body. And hence, the actor doesn’t continue to remain in the same shape throughout the year, however, the perception created on screen and social media forces innumerable youngsters to follow crazy diets.

From addressing the importance of a blue tick against an aadhar card, prevailing herd mentality due to pressure to fit in the popular and trending opinion to the changing perceptions of people on social media, Aayush Sharma offered a whole new perspective to the young students, emphasizing on the importance self-love and acceptance over the number of likes and followers.

Currently, gearing up for his upcoming untitled film ‘AS03’, Aayush Sharma recently revealed the teaser announcement offering a glimpse into the mytho modern action adventure. In addition, Aayush is also working on another interesting film, which the actor announced with a still earlier this year.

Aparshakti says, “There is no bigger celebration for me than to share it with the family. We have been planning this holiday for some time but were waiting for a good time since I was busy with the promotion for the movie, Ultimate Kho Kho League in Pune, and other events. I had missed spending time with my daughter and wife. You might be enjoying what you do but it is also very important to take some time off and press that reset button. It increases the quality and productivity of your work too.”

The actor’s last movie was a suspense thriller who thriller which he played a Kashmiri terrorist. The movie was not just a success but got Aparshakti rave reviews for his role. His upcoming project is Berlin, a spy thriller mystery. The project is presented by Zee Studios and is written and directed by Atul Sabharwal.
