On the day of World Day of Bullying Prevention, Aarush said, “Bullying has been a growing problem especially in past years. While some consider hazing and the abuse to be a typical part in the society. But people are found fallen in depression and the violence has led officials to start taking a hard, zero-tolerance stance on bullying.”

Narrating a story Aarush said, “I enjoy essaying negative roles and this don't go great with my audience I feel. They bully me for being bad on screen. Earlier I took it as a compliment that I was doing good work as a villain. But later when I spotted people getting personal, it was high time to get it over. Such experiences are not at all delightful.” He further added, “Taking a stand against bullying is, in part, an act of vigilance that starts at home. Think about the behaviors you engage in and the light-hearted teasing you do with your co-workers, mates, and friends. Is it possible that we may see nothing as harmless is in fact being perceived as a damaging and malicious act.”

Aarush, who has also been part of Tv shows like Bekaaboo, Naagin, Udaariyaan, Pavitra Rishta, concluded, “If we observe bullying going on around us, we need to stand up and tell the offender to stop and be a champion for the person being bullied. We need to spread information about what can happen as a result of bullying and be sure to really listen to people and friends if they're complaining about how they're treated in society. Bullying is a serious problem, and World Day of Bullying Prevention is our opportunity to take a stand against it and stomp it out.”
