Aayush Sharma shares insight into choosing acting over politics

Aayush Sharma disclosed his preference for acting over politics, citing his passion for storytelling and promotional activities.

During an interview with Pinkvilla, the 33-year-old actor revealed that acting was not initially a certainty for him and upon arriving in Mumbai, he entered auditions and faced the challenges of the city of dreams.

The Antim actor explained, “Acting was not a definitive thought process. The thought of not being in politics came only with emotion that if you can do something with heart if you know your heart is in the right place..”

Aayush also mentioned that despite hailing from a family of esteemed politicians, he felt he lacked the qualities required to follow in their footsteps. 

He said, “He (his father Anil Sharma) resonates with their emotions and thought process, I didn’t feel that I have that in me."

"I am a firm believer in 'live your dreams' and even if you don’t have the liberty to live your dreams, at least try attempting once because you should never turn around and say ‘What if!’,” he added.

Aayush further shared, “I don’t think so I am passionate about it and it’s a public service. Reluctancy in any profession wouldn’t have done me well. Today. when I am in movies, I am passionate about it, I can give it as many hours. I don’t consider this work."

"I love this part of movie making, telling stories. I love promotions and marketing. This excites me and gives me happiness even today."
