Aayush Sharma, an actor, has slammed false death rumours surrounding his grandfather. Pandit Sukh Ram, a veteran Congress leader and former telecom minister, suffered a stroke and is receiving treatment in New Delhi. His death, however, was widely reported on social media and by a few news organisations. Aayush responded with an Instagram post debunking the claims.

On Monday, Aayush posted a message. “My grandfather Pandit Sukh Ram is a strong soul who is fighting back bravely,” he wrote. In this trying time for our entire family, I respectfully request that everyone pray for his well-being and that the media not pay attention to any false news.” “We would keep,” he continued.

In the comments section of the post, many of his fans expressed their prayers and good wishes for his recovery.

Aayush is from the Himachal Pradesh town of Mandi. His grandfather and father are both politicians. Pandit Sukh Ram was the Minister of Communications and Information Technology from 1993 to 1996, and was born Sukhram Sharma. He represented the Mandi constituency in the Lok Sabha.

In 2018, Aayush made his film debut with Loveyatri. Salman Khan, his brother-in-law, produced the film. Aayush is married to Arpita Khan, the actor’s younger sister, and the couple has two children, Ahil and Ayat.

Aayush had previously slammed critics who blamed Salman Khan for everything he has. “Unfortunately, in my life, it’s like, you do the smallest activity…,” he told Bollywood Bubble. You purchase a vehicle… ‘Oh, you got it from Salman,’ says the narrator. ‘You did it because of Salman,’ says the narrator. I have money as well, and I’m not going around like this.”
