Lesser Known Facts About Arya Babbar's Flop Acting Career

Arya Babbar, son of veteran actor Raj Babbar is an Indian actor who appears in Bollywood and Punjabi films. Born on May 24, 1984, Arya took a plunge into acting about 12 years ago in a movie called Ab Ke Baras.

The actor debuted opposite Amrita Rao and was even nominated at the Star Screen Awards for Most Promising Newcomer - Male category for his film Ab Ke Baras. It's a different thing that he didn't win that award nor has managed to win any award after that.

The only noticeable contribution he ever made was in films of top notch directors like Ready starring Salman Khan and Guru starring Abhishek Bachchan.Speaking about his personality he said, "I have learnt to hold my peace in recent times. But if I see something wrong happening, I won't keep quiet."

The only reason the actor has decided to leave Bollywood for a reality show is for Money. On asking the reason he said, "The money, of course."

He also said, "It's good. But the real reason is the book that I've written. It gets published in January. When I come out as a winner -- of course I'll win -- I hope to have a relatively larger readership." Yes, the actor after failing to provide one decent hit in Bollywood has now opted to write a book, if you can't be an actor, become an author. Guess that's the trend these days for flop actors in the industry.

He further added, "Twelve years ago, I made my debut as a leading man in Ab Ke Baras. Now I am heading into another phase in my life as an author. Bigg Boss is a good vehicle to take me into the new level in my life."
