Some internet users asked about Aman's new role. One person commented, 'Bhaisahab ye kis line mein aa gaye aap.' To this, Aman responded, 'Paapi pet ka sawaal hai dost. Kya karein?'.
Another user felt sorry for him and said, 'Itne talented actor ko kya kya karna padta hai, I feel sad for him.' Aman assured them, 'Kaam mere bhai kaam total hai. Chota kya aur bada kya. If I tell u the amount of money I got for doing this, u will come and take place of the assistant who came and gave me the bottle. Samjhe chahu.'
Verma acknowledged that he has been facing some tough times recently. He shared in a comment, 'Yes I am doin good. God is kind. Goin thru some upheaval. But hanging in there. Love to u and your family.'
Clarifying the Truth: Magic Act Part of a Film Shoot
Later, in an interview with Hindustan Times, Aman clarified that his magic performance was actually part of filming a movie. He explained that they were shooting a specific segment for an untitled film, and after setting up the scene and rehearsing several times, he successfully completed the magic trick. Aman shared the clip on his social media for his fans, but soon started receiving messages suggesting he was facing significant financial problems.
Addressing Misconceptions and Rumours
He recalled a lighthearted exchange with a commenter in which he jokingly attributed his magic act to 'paapi pet,' or a hungry stomach, which only fueled further speculation. He explained that people were joking around and he joined in the fun, but this led to the false perception that he had become a full-time magician. Aman pointed out that other actors have taken on similar roles without facing such scrutiny, yet when he shared his clip, it was interpreted very differently. He hopes this will put an end to the rumors, adding that many people seem to spend their time idly scrolling through social media.

Arun Govil questions modern-day Ramayan adaptations: 'None of the stars today fit to play Lord Ram'
Veteran actor , who immortalised the role of Lord Ram in Ramanand Sagar's classic Ramayan, has weighed in on the current wave of mythological remakes, and he isn't holding back. Speaking to NDTV, the revered actor expressed skepticism about modern interpretations and questioned whether today's stars truly embody the spiritual weight of the character. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now 'Three-four people have tried recreating it, but they weren't successful,' Govil said. 'I don't think in our lifetime someone should attempt to remake Ramayan.' Govil believes authenticity, not star power, should lead casting choices Though he didn't mention any names, Govil's remarks seem to reflect public sentiment around recent adaptations like Adipurush (2023), which cast Prabhas as Ram but faced intense criticism over its dialogues, visual treatment, and perceived lack of reverence. Despite high expectations and a massive release, the film failed to leave a lasting impact. In a pointed remark on casting, Govil added, 'When it comes to playing Ram, none of the stars we have today fit the part in my opinion. Maybe someone from outside the industry might be more suitable.' Arun Govil's old video resurfaces: Muslim family greets 'Shri Ram' at airport Govil's portrayal of Lord Ram between 1987 and 1988 became a spiritual event in itself, with millions tuning in every Sunday morning on Doordarshan. His performance, soft-spoken demeanor, and commanding presence set a benchmark that many argue remains unmatched even today. The timing of his remarks is noteworthy, coinciding with the second phase of the Pran Pratishtha ceremony at the in Ayodhya, a monumental spiritual event that reinforces the cultural importance of Ramayan and its characters. Govil's comments also come just as gears up to portray Lord Ram in Nitesh Tiwari's ambitious film adaptation of Ramayan. Planned as a two-part saga, the project is expected to release on Diwali in 2026 and 2027.

Did you know Tabu REJECTED Hema Malini's role in Baghban opposite Amitabh Bachchan as she didn't want to play mother of four kids at the age of 36?
Baghban is a cherished film in many Indian middle-class homes, praised for its emotional story and strong performances by and . But not many know that Hema almost rejected the role. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now In an old interview with Lehren Retro, she revealed that when director Ravi Chopra came to narrate the script at her home, her mother was also present — and that moment made her hesitant to say yes. Hema Malini once shared that she was unsure about doing Baghban when Ravi Chopra offered her the role of a mother to four grown-up sons. She found it hard to imagine herself in that part. But her mother, who was present during the narration, insisted she take it up, saying the story was strong and the role would suit her well. Though Hema had doubts, especially after being away from films for a while, her mother's encouragement convinced her to say yes. Interestingly, the Sholay actress wasn't the only actor who had to be convinced to do Baghban. The role of Pooja Malhotra was first offered to Tabu. Although she liked the script, she turned it down, unwilling to play the mother of four children at just 36. She later starred opposite Amitabh Bachchan in Cheeni Kum. Even Big B wasn't the original choice—director Ravi Chopra had initially approached veteran actor , who declined the role.
