Reflecting on his philosophy, Aaryamann added, “I believe it’s not my decision to take someone else’s life. And whenever I accidentally hurt or kill a being, I say a small prayer. I apologise and wish for their soul’s peace. I say things like, ‘Bless your soul, I hope you find your way.’ That’s the way my mom raised us–me, Ayushmaan, and herself. She taught us, ‘Why would you ever want to kill anything?’ And that thought has stayed with me.”

Apart from sharing his values, Aaryamann also gave fans a peek into the realities of his first ad shoot. Unlike the glamorous image many hold, he revealed that he wasn’t given a personal vanity van and had to share one with co-actors. However, he said he was not complaining and was quite happy to find work. “It’s already lunch time and I haven’t given my first shot yet. They called me way too early. Let’s see what they have sent for lunch–neer dosa, curd rice, some dal, and a bit of rice. There’s paneer too, but it’s from outside, so I am a little suspicious about it. The food is okay, but I skipped the paneer,” he said with a laugh. For those who follow vlogs, Aaryamann’s love for paneer is well established. As the family shot for their vlog in India and abroad, the star son always finds his beloved paneer everywhere.
