Aman Gandhi: Bigg Boss 20’s Calm Game and Life Before the House
Most first-week Bigg Boss contestants try to get loud fast. Aman Gandhi did the opposite. While housemates traded arguments in the first few episodes, the television actor chose to watch, listen, and pick his moments, a strategy that has already got viewers calling him the season’s quiet strength, and its “handsome hunk,” in the same breath.

Who Is Aman Gandhi?
Aman Gandhi did not start out chasing acting. After finishing his studies, he worked as an assistant manager at a global automobile company. He left that job and moved from Delhi to Mumbai in October 2015 to try his hand at television instead.
Career: From Cameos to Lead Roles
He debuted in 2016 as Nikhil, a dancer, in D4 – Get Up and Dance. Small parts followed in Pyaar Tune Kya Kiya, Kuch Rang Pyar Ke Aise Bhi, Sasural Simar Ka, Gudiya Hamari Sabhi Pe Bhari, and Kundali Bhagya, where he played Ritvik.
His real break came in 2018 with Naagin 3, where he played the antagonist Daksh Munshi, a role that put him on the map with a wider television audience. He went on to play Veer Singh Chauhan in Daayan and Shikhar Shastri in Prem Bandhan, before landing his best-known part yet: Ayushmaan “Ayush” Chopra in Bhagya Lakshmi, which he played from 2021 to 2025. After that show ended, he joined Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2 as Rithik Virani, continuing the role into its 2026 spin-off, Kyunki Rishton Ke Bhi Roop Badalte Hain, before exiting that show ahead of his Bigg Boss 20 entry.
Bigg Boss 20: The No-Noise Game
Bigg Boss 20 premiered on September 6, 2026, on Colors TV and JioHotstar, hosted by Salman Khan, with Aman Gandhi among the sixteen confirmed contestants. In the show’s first week, he stood out for a measured, low-drama approach, choosing his moments rather than competing to be the loudest voice in the house.
That calm did not mean no conflict. Aman got into a heated exchange with Aasif Khan after a disagreement over how contestants should phrase their statements on camera, with Aasif accusing him of acting “too much of a gentleman.” Aman held his ground and refused to let the show’s editing shape how he approached the conversation, a moment that won him support from a section of viewers online.
He has also opened up emotionally inside the house, telling co-contestant Arishfa Khan about someone close to him outside, and how differences in upbringing and outlook led him to end that relationship rather than keep hurting her.
Personal Life
Aman Gandhi is reported to be unmarried and does not have children, despite a joking remark from co-contestant Gullu that briefly confused some viewers. He was previously linked to actress Shagun Sharma, his co-star on Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2, though the two are reportedly no longer together.
