Aaman’s 1st Set Memory Is Of Golmaal
Aaman revealed – “The kind of environment we grow up in makes cinema the topic of discussion from morning to night. When I passed my 10th grade, that’s when I really decided, “Okay, this is something I want to do.” I started working towards it, taking workshops, classes, whatever I needed to be successful in this industry.
When I was really young, I watched my uncle’s film, Bhagat Singh. I was really influenced by that, and I thought he was so amazing in it. Golmaal was one of the first sets I went on as a kid. I was just five years old, I don’t have any specific memories, but I just remember the vibe on set.”

Talking about his experience as an AD, Aaman commented – “I think my real understanding of films came when I first started assisting. I assisted on 3 films: ‘Runway 34,’ ‘Bholaa,’ ‘Bhuj’. That helped me understand what a set runs like. So that when I star in my first film, I’m not completely blank. On a technical level, it helped me a lot.”
