## Early life and move to Mumbai
Gandhi was born in Delhi in 1993.[1](https://www.filmibeat.com/celebs/aman-gandhi.html) He completed his schooling in Delhi and then studied at Amity University in Noida, Uttar Pradesh.[4](https://nettv4u.com/celebrity/hindi/tv-actor/aman-gandhi) Before entering entertainment he worked in the corporate sector as an assistant manager at a global automobile company. His interest in acting led him to leave that job and move to Mumbai in October 2015 to pursue a television career.[1](https://www.filmibeat.com/celebs/aman-gandhi.html) He has said the period was difficult personally as well: his father was diagnosed with cancer in 2015 and his mother underwent two major heart surgeries, and his parents nonetheless supported his decision.[1](https://www.filmibeat.com/celebs/aman-gandhi.html)
## Television career
**Early roles.** Gandhi made his television debut in 2016 with the dance-fiction series *D4 - Get Up and Dance*, playing Nikhil.[1](https://www.filmibeat.com/celebs/aman-gandhi.html) He then took cameo and parallel-lead parts in shows including *Kuch Rang Pyar Ke Aise Bhi*, *[Sasural Simar Ka](https://www.edgepedia.org/sasural-simar-ka)*, and *Kundali Bhagya*.[1](https://www.filmibeat.com/celebs/aman-gandhi.html) In a 2022 interview he described a setback in this period: after his first two shows he shot for 14 months as a lead actor for a series intended for a new channel, but the channel never launched and the show was shelved. His parents asked him to return to Delhi, and he went home in February 2018; an audition for *Naagin* brought him back to Mumbai the next month.[5](https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/tv/news/hindi/after-playing-the-parallel-lead-in-many-shows-i-now-feel-that-i-am-ready-to-play-the-lead-aman-gandhi/articleshow/90909131.cms)
**Breakthrough.** His first major role came as Daksh Munshi, one of the antagonists, in *Naagin 3* in 2018.[1](https://www.filmibeat.com/celebs/aman-gandhi.html) He later appeared as Veer Singh Chauhan in *Daayan* and as Shikhar Shastri in *Prem Bandhan*.[1](https://www.filmibeat.com/celebs/aman-gandhi.html)
**Bhagya Lakshmi.** Wider recognition came with the role of Ayushmaan "Ayush" Chopra in [Zee TV](https://www.edgepedia.org/zee-tv)'s *Bhagya Lakshmi*, which he played for nearly four years, from 2021 to 2025.[1](https://www.filmibeat.com/celebs/aman-gandhi.html) A 2022 profile in *Eastern Eye* described the part as the turning point that brought him to a wider audience after years of smaller supporting roles.[6](https://www.easterneye.biz/aman-gandhi-the-big-turning-point/) Gandhi said the character was the closest to himself of any he had played, calling it "the easiest and most fun character to be".[6](https://www.easterneye.biz/aman-gandhi-the-big-turning-point/) In the same period he said publicly that he considered himself ready to take on a solo lead role after the parallel leads and cameos that had trained him.[5](https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/tv/news/hindi/after-playing-the-parallel-lead-in-many-shows-i-now-feel-that-i-am-ready-to-play-the-lead-aman-gandhi/articleshow/90909131.cms)
**Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2.** In 2025 Gandhi joined the cast of *Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2*, the reboot of the early-2000s daily soap, as Hrithik Virani, one of the new-generation characters introduced alongside roles played by Rohit Suchanti and Shagun Sharma.[1](https://www.filmibeat.com/celebs/aman-gandhi.html) • [7](https://www.techradar.com/how-to-watch/kyunki-saas-bhi-kabhi-bahu-thi-2-free) He reprised the role in the spin-off *[Kyunki Rishton Ke Bhi Roop Badalte Hain](https://www.edgepedia.org/kyunki-rishton-ke-bhi-roop-badalte-hain)*, continuing his association with the franchise until 2026.[1](https://www.filmibeat.com/celebs/aman-gandhi.html)
## Bigg Boss 20
In September 2026 Gandhi entered the *Bigg Boss 20* house as one of 17 contestants on the [Salman Khan](https://www.edgepedia.org/salman-khan)-hosted reality show, his first unscripted television appearance.[8](https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/television/aman-gandhi-reveals-why-he-had-to-reject-bigg-boss-ott-before-joining-bigg-boss-20-10865259/) It was not his first offer from the franchise: he had been approached for the OTT version in 2022-23 but could not accept because, as a lead on *Bhagya Lakshmi* at the time, the show's makers did not allow him to leave.[8](https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/television/aman-gandhi-reveals-why-he-had-to-reject-bigg-boss-ott-before-joining-bigg-boss-20-10865259/) Before entering, he said he joined to boost his career and expected the exposure to change his life "for the better".[8](https://indianexpress.com/article/entertainment/television/aman-gandhi-reveals-why-he-had-to-reject-bigg-boss-ott-before-joining-bigg-boss-20-10865259/)
His run lasted five weeks. He was evicted during the Weekend Ka Vaar episode broadcast on October 19, 2026, after finishing among the bottom three contestants, alongside [Mary Kom](https://www.edgepedia.org/mary-kom) and Uditi Singh, for the second consecutive week and receiving the lowest votes.[2](https://www.ndtv.com/entertainment/kyunki-saas-bhi-kabhi-bahu-thi-2-actor-aman-gandhi-evicted-from-bigg-boss-20-after-five-weeks-12205448) Under the season's lifeline format, he had already lost one of his two lifelines the previous week for receiving the fewest votes.[9](https://www.indiatoday.in/amp/entertainment/television/story/bigg-boss-20-aman-gandhi-evicted-after-five-weeks-low-votes-3020508-2026-10-19) His time in the house included a widely reported conflict with contestant Nakul Dhull, whose comments Gandhi told the other housemates had made him uncomfortable; after eviction he described the remarks as boundary-crossing.[2](https://www.ndtv.com/entertainment/kyunki-saas-bhi-kabhi-bahu-thi-2-actor-aman-gandhi-evicted-from-bigg-boss-20-after-five-weeks-12205448) • [10](https://www.moneycontrol.com/entertainment/tv/exclusive-bigg-boss-20-s-aman-gandhi-calls-mahhi-vij-cunning-opens-up-about-nakul-dhull-s-remarks-on-his-sexuality-you-should-tell-people-where-to-draw-a-line-article-14055600.html) In a post-eviction interview he named fellow contestant [Qazi Touqeer](https://www.edgepedia.org/qazi-touqeer), with whom he had formed a close bond in the house, as his pick to win the season.[10](https://www.moneycontrol.com/entertainment/tv/exclusive-bigg-boss-20-s-aman-gandhi-calls-mahhi-vij-cunning-opens-up-about-nakul-dhull-s-remarks-on-his-sexuality-you-should-tell-people-where-to-draw-a-line-article-14055600.html)
