In an exclusive conversation, the actor shared the deep-seated motivations behind his decision to join the Salman Khan-hosted reality extravaganza and the reasons behind his previous unavailability for the OTT version.
The Ambition Behind the Move
For many, transitioning from long-running daily soaps to reality TV can be a polarizing move. However, for Aman, it is a calculated step toward stardom. "After doing a big show like Bhagyalaxmi, I wanted to be a part of another leading show. I was hungry, dreamy, and wanted something big," Aman stated. He emphasized that Bigg Boss is the biggest event in the country after the IPL, making it a dream destination for any television professional.

The Missed Opportunity: Bigg Boss OTT
One of the most intriguing revelations in the interview was regarding his previous brush with the franchise. Aman disclosed that he was approached for the Bigg Boss OTT season during the 2022-23 period. "Back then, I couldn’t do the show since I was the other lead in Bhagyalaxmi.
