Aaman Devgan talks about pushing through pain, staying positive, and learning discipline from uncle, Ajay Devgn and grandfather, late Veeru Devgan
Aaman Devgan injured his knee while shooting Azaad
When Aaman Devgan injured his knee, it wasn’t just a physical setback, it changed everything for a while. “It happened when I was playing football after shooting for Azaad. I’d already had a bit of an impact while horse riding during the shoot, but back in Mumbai, my leg just snapped during a match.”
It turned out to be a serious ligament tear, one that required surgery. “You can’t really heal it naturally, so you have to go in for an operation. And after that, it’s weeks of bedrest, a leg brace, and then loads of physiotherapy.”
That recovery came just as Azaad promotions were about to begin. “We had to dance on stage, travel to different cities. My doctors weren’t happy about it, but there was no choice. You have to show up for your film.” Aaman had to work around it. “I’d tape up my knee before a show, then limp off stage, straight into the car and start icing it again.”

Physically painful, yes — but the mental side was worse. He recalls, “Being stuck in bed when you’re young and full of energy, it’s tough. The mental part is harder than the physical pain.” As a long-time football lover, Aaman took comfort in hearing how professional players recovered from similar injuries. “I’d watch videos, listen to their interviews. It helped me stay focused.”
Though he didn’t need formal therapy, Aaman leaned on friends and people for comfort. “They knew what each stage felt like, so that really helped.”
Coming from a family known for action — being Veeru Devgan’s grandson and Ajay Devgn’s nephew — Aaman grew up watching toughness in action. “I’ve seen my uncle injured and still turning up to shoot the next day. I think that gave me some of that mental strength and passion to be fit.”
Now, he’s back in the gym, doing two sessions a day, one for strength, one for his knee. He often works out with Ajay. “Even on holiday, he sticks to his routine. If you’re with him, you’ve got to wake up early and get it done. But honestly, training with someone you admire pushes you harder.”
Self care
For young men looking after themselves, Aaman keeps it simple: show up to the gym even on lazy days, care for your skin (thanks to the women in his life), wear what makes you feel comfortable, and eat sensibly. “I love my cheat days. I’m lucky that I don’t put on weight easily, but I do try and stay off sugar.”
