I bring a positive energy with me. My personality is all about bringing a happy vibe and energy, which also makes me very likable. I have also seen lots of ups and downs in life. Mumbai was my second life in a way. When I came here, I used to live with five boys in a small apartment. Today, I live by myself. Had I not been strong-headed, this journey wouldn’t have happened. All the experiences, facing the pressure and rejections, have made me pretty solid,” the actor shared.‘Bhagyalaxmi makers didn’t allow me to do Bigg Boss earlier’This isn’t the first time Aman Gandhi was approached for Bigg Boss. He was also in the running for the show’s OTT version. Unfortunately, due to work commitments, Aman couldn’t do the show back then. “This is the second time I was offered Bigg Boss; the first offer came in 2022-23, and it was for the OTT version. I was doing Bhagyalaxmi then. Back then, I couldn’t do the show since I was the other lead in the show. Quitting it would have affected the show. So the makers didn’t allow me.” View this post on Instagram A post shared by Aman Gandhi (@gandhi_aman_) Also Read | ‘I don’t have a job’: Smriti Irani recalls asking for work after 2024 Lok Sabha poll defeatSharing what he expects from Bigg Boss 20, Aman Gandhi said, “Your brother is going to be a star.
