Another mouth to feed

A direct descendant of a Bollywood star? It's almost immediately assumed you will be part of the film industry in some capacity someday. After all, B-Town looks out for its own first. This advantage of having a shot at stardom now seems to have trickled down to extended families.

The latest beneficiary of having powerful connections is Ayush Sharma, the scion of an influential political family and the husband of Salman Khan's sister Arpita, who Khan is grooming to be a leading man.

Notes a source, "Salman has some experience in this department, having mentored aspirants like Pulkit Samrat and Sooraj Pancholi with varying degrees of success. Only time will tell if he will successfully make his favourite sister's husband a star."

Meanwhile, Ayush will be learning the ropes of filmmaking on the sets of Salman's latest film Sultan, as an assistant director.
