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.¡±
