Salman Khan's brother-in-law Aayush Sharma on divorce rumours
In 2019, the couple was surprised to find themselves at the centre of divorce rumours. Aayush Sharma recalled the incident in a recent interview with News18 Showsha, saying, "Nobody has been that interested in my life to float rumours about me around. But I remember a very small incident. I took my son out for dosa and when we were coming out, the paparazzi caught me and asked me if Arpita and I were filing for divorce."
"I was just so surprised! I took my son out for a snack and ended up facing questions about our divorce. When I came back home, I asked Arpita if she was going to divorce me. And we had a good laugh over it," Aayush said reflecting on the hilarious episode.
The couple who got married in 2014 are parents to a son Ahil and were blessed with their second child, a baby girl Ayat, on December 27, 2021. The little one shares her birthday with her uncle Salman Khan.
Aayush Sharma on the mean comments Arpita faces
During an interaction with Siddharth Kanan, Aayush said in Hindi, "Kayi log unke rang ke baare main opinion dete hain aur woh mujhe bohot hassi ka topic lagta hai. Hindustan ki jo zyada tar pratishat janta hai, unka rang kya hai? Sab gore hain? Main Himachal se hoon iss liye mera rang gora hai. Aur agar aap dark ya saawle rang ke hain toh usme galat kya hai?"
(Many people have an opinion about her skin colour, which makes me laugh. What is the skin colour of the majority of Indians? Is everyone fair-skinned? I am from Himachal which is why I am. If you are dark or have a dusky skin tone, what is wrong with that?)
He continued, "Kis baat ke liye ek skin colour ke peeche log haath dho ke pad jaate hain? Kyu? Sochne ki baat hai, hum log yahan bolte hain âBlack Lives Matter' America main. Aur yahan pe khud ke logo ka hi rang ka mazaak uda rahe hain."
(Why are people constantly running behind a skin colour? It is to be pondered since we say âBlack Lives Matter' in America and here make fun of our people.)
