Sehrawat was born on 16 July 2003 in the village of Birohar, Haryana, where he initially took part in mud wrestling. Inspired by Sushil Kumar's silver medal win in the 2012 Summer Olympics, he enrolled at the Chhatrasal Stadium in North Delhi at the age of 10.[5] He lost both of his parents at the age of 11. Following their deaths, Sehrawat and his younger sister, Puja, were taken in by their uncles. His Uncle Sudhir revealed in an interview with Hindustan Times that Aman struggled with depression and anxiety after his mother's death. However, his fortunes began to change with his training at Chhatrasal Stadium.[6]
