13 Jan - If you think Aaman Devgan gets a special treatment for being Ajay Devgn's nephew, think again, as the actor admitted that his uncle was very strict with him on the set of their movie.

The actor, who is making his movie debut, "Azaad" with Ajay, stated that he was actually very nervous on the first day of shooting because he was unable to differentiate Ajay Devgn the Uncle and Ajay Devgn the superstar.

"I would just look at him and get anxious, thinking, 'How am I going to perform in front of him'? Forget about him being family - at that moment, all I saw was Ajay Devgn, the star. I kept telling myself to calm down," Aaman said.

However, thanks to director Abishek Kapoor, he was able to do his job well.

"[The director] told me, 'Stay within your character. Just calm down,' and I took that advice to heart. I used some acting tricks, and eventually, I found my footing. I think that worked," he added.

Aaman also stated that Ajay has always been professional on set, and has never acted like family to him at work.

"Even when I assisted him on two films earlier in my career, he made it clear: 'You have to treat this guy like the lowest of the lowest assistants.' That's his approach. He's extremely strict with me, and compliments are rare," he added.

The actor added that it was the tough love shown by the actor that helped him reach his full potential.
