[edit] Gay Icon

After debuting in movies like 'Market' and 'Chahat' Aryan's journey into Bollywood was not rosy. May be his strategy to cash in the 'Mr. International' title backfired. More than the actor's work it was his well toned bare body that made news. More than his acting prowess his on screen love making skills in Chahat and other B-grade flicks garneres him the title of Sex God of Bollywood.

His nude photos that circulated the net consolidated his position as sexy stud. His photo with hands inside the hot pants and covering his 'asset' invited a lot of gay relations in the Bollywood. Aryan seems to have enjoyed that alternate sexuality adulation and later came with the statement that he is happy being a 'Gay Icon'.

[edit] Relationship with Anupama Verma

On the show Bigg Boss, model Anupama Verma and Aryan had developed a relationship. Aryan was supposedly madly in love with Anupama and was very emotional when they parted when he got evicted from the show before Anupama.
