Did you know? Aayush Sharma was a background artist in Ranbir-Deepika’s Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani?

Aspiring to be an actor since a young age, Aayush Sharma experienced a fair share of struggles, with multiple auditions and small roles as junior artists in films.

In fact, Aayush Sharma also played a background artist in the chartbuster song ‘Dilli Wali Girlfriend’ from Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone starrer ‘Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani’.

In a recent media interaction, the actor said, “When I came to Mumbai for my college, I was an aspiring actor who would give auditions for anything from ads, TV shows to roles as junior artists in Bollywood movies. I got to know that in Mehboob Studios Yeh Jawaan Hai Deewani shoot was happening. I called my friend and asked to give me some work in the background. I told him that I will get to learn how shooting happens if I work in the background. So, I was roaming in YJHD’s song Dilli Wali Girlfriend. For the first time, I saw how Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone perform and how shoots take place. This was my first visit to Mehboob Studios. So, the biggest excitement was going to Mehboob Studios for this song.”

Scaling a phenomenal journey from a background artist to nailing the much-appreciated character of the gangster Rahuliya in the recently released ‘Antim: The Final Truth’, Aayush Sharma has paved his path in Bollywood, emerging as one of the most bankable rising stars.
