Rajkumar tried launching Armaan in Bollywood but unfortunately failed.

Armaan starred as a child artist in Rajkumar’s movies - Badle Ki Aag and Raaj? Tilak. He then made his debut as an adult with his father’s directorial Virodhi. Despite any and every effort, Armaan failed to leave a mark at the box office and then his one move made him a household name.

In 2013, Armaan participated in Bigg Boss 7 and ended up as a finalist because of his love angle, unnecessary anger and an infamous mid-show arrest.

Even Rajkumar was asked about Armaan’s arrest back then and he suspected that all of it was scripted. The filmmaker told TOI, “Bigg Boss is just a show and the contestants are simply doing what they are told to do. There must be a director in charge. Actors enact action scenes in movies according to the instructions of the director and still get hurt. Something similar happened here too.”

This wasn’t the first time that Armaan was accused of being a ‘toxic man’. It was in 2018 that the pictures of his live-in partner Neeru Randhawa reaching a police station with her bleeding head went viral. Quoting another such incident, Dolly Bindra once told TOI, “Armaan is a woman beater and was bailed out.”

“This is not a joke. He beat up Moon Moon Banerjee, his girlfriend in 2008. The man is capable of the worst kind of aggression.”
