Amid the festive vibes, we got in touch with the ‘Azaad’ fame actor, and nephew of Ajay Devgn, Aaman Devgan, for a candid cup of conversation. Since Diwali is all about celebrating the ray of hope and happiness that keeps the darkness away, we asked Aaman who is the light of his life, and his reply in a jiffy was ‘my mother.’“For me, the light of my life is my mother. She’s always given me the power to push, strive, and achieve my goals just by being her,” he said before adding, “She will always be the light of my life.”

In the same conversation, when we asked the actor about what Diwali in his house looks like, with a big smile, said, “It is all about fun, positivity, and family.” The ‘Azaad’ actor continued, “It’s a very blissful week full of poojas and spending time with my entire family. Getting together and eating a LOT of food!”
Speaking of food, Aaman added, “Diwali is definitely a full-on cheat week. For me, during the week, different Indian styles do the trick. A lot of North Indian food, like naans, paneer makhani, and South Indian foods with a lot of ghee.” “One of my favourite ingredients to add to any dish is ghee. I absolutely love it,” confessed the actor.

Further, as we spoke, Aaman shared his most cherished childhood memories of the festival. “Diwali during my childhood was only and only fireworks. As a child, the joy you feel from bursting crackers is unmatched. It was filled with fun, positive memories with my friends and family,” he told us.However, as Aaman grew up, he understood that bursting crackers is not the right way to go, considering the environment. “I realized the impact it has on the environment and the animals around. I started noticing how much my dogs and street dogs would panic, and ever since then, I have completely stopped. I think it’s very important for everyone to understand that,” concluded Aaman Devgan.
