Actor Aashiesh Sharrma breaks silence on controversy around Saurabh Tewari, says, “He stood by me and my family like an elder brother”

Aashiesh Sharrma, known for his impactful performances in shows like Siya Ke Ram, Chandragupta Maurya and Rangrasiya, is currently receiving appreciation for his upcoming film Khejdi.

Taking to his social media stories, Aashiesh shared a heartfelt note reflecting on his long-standing association with Saurabh Tiwari and the personal bond they have shared over the years. The actor revealed that Saurabh was the one who launched him in Gunahon Ka Devta, and ever since then, including during Rangrasiya and beyond, he has always known him as a dignified and supportive person.

In his note, Aashiesh wrote, “Not someone who comments on public controversies… but seeing certain things around Saurabh Tiwari, I felt I should speak from my own experience. Saurabh launched me in Gunahon Ka Devta and ever since, through Rangrasiya and beyond, I’ve known him as an extremely dignified, supportive and deeply humane person.”

He further added that while professional disagreements can happen with anyone, he personally “blindly vouches” for Saurabh’s integrity both as a producer and as a human being. Aashiesh also emotionally shared that during some of the toughest phases of his life, Saurabh stood by him and his family “like an elder brother.”

The controversy around Saurabh Tiwari began after actress Manasi Salvi reportedly raised concerns regarding her exit from Mahadev & Sons, including issues related to communication, contracts, and screen time. Since then, several industry colleagues have spoken about their experiences with the producer, with Aashiesh Sharma being among the prominent voices publicly supporting him.
