Aman¡¯s Acting Journey
A post by HumansOfXaviers read (as narrated by Aman), "I started acting because my parents wanted to see me on TV. I did my first ad as a 3-year-old with Horlicks. I ended up becoming comfortable with the people at the set and did several ads. My first ad with Amitabh Bachchan was shot when I was in grade 1. This ad caught the attention of Vivek Sharma, Bhoothnath¡¯s Director and he wanted us to be a part of the movie. Back then, I didn¡¯t take up movies because they were time-consuming and I needed to concentrate on academics too. I was okay with ads because they were shot on weekends and could be completed within a day or two. I rejected roles in movies like Fanah, Ta Ra Rum Pum, and others also because the kid¡¯s role usually isn¡¯t very significant. But things were different when it came to Bhoothnath. The role and the people I would be working with, especially Mr. Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, and Juhi Chawla made it difficult to reject this movie. Regardless, I gave it up. The Director then asked us to at least read the script once. I ended up shooting Bhoothnath when I was in grade 3."
