I can't help it if people don't have a sense of humour: Aman Verma reacts to rumours of turning magician due to financial crunch

recently found himself flooded with comments on Instagram after he posted a video performing a magic trick. The clip, which was actually a snippet from a film he's currently shooting for, sparked speculation that the actor had taken up magic professionally due to
financial distress
.
What truly sent the video viral was his tongue-in-cheek comment about switching professions 'for his paapi pet'.
Aman clarifies that he's neither short of work nor facing any financial difficulties — he was simply playing along with online banter. He says, 'If people don't have a sense of humour, there's nothing I can do about it. It's a clip from a film I'm working on. The worst part is that although there were many comments under that video, only the one where I joked about doing it for my stomach — which any normal person would say in humour — went viral.
I feel people just have nothing better to do.'
The actor trained in magic for nearly a month and a half for the role. He shares, 'I practiced very hard — it's not an easy job. I worked with rubber bottles, flowers, various coats and jackets with multiple pockets — it required a combination of many elements. It took a lot of effort. I remember back in 2002-2003, I hosted a show called
Jadoo
, and even then, I rehearsed for a month to get all the acts right.

Whatever is given to me, I need to do my homework before getting on stage. And that's what I did.'
Aman believes that learning a new art form adds an enriching layer to one's craft. He shares, 'When you get into any kind of art form, there's a feeling of positivity — that's what I feel. When I was learning magic, I felt like Superman. My confidence level rose. I felt good knowing I was learning something new, and the best part was making people around me happy. It gives you a different kind of high in life because as a performer, your only aim is to be loved for what you do.

Lastly, we asked about his ongoing
divorce proceedings
with Vandana Lalwani, whom he married in 2016. Aman responds, 'I would want to wait for some more time before commenting. But I definitely will when the time is right.'
