Answer:
This is because NH2 group in aniline is highly activating group. A lone pair of electrons is present on N which releases the electron density to the benzene ring and hence activates the benzene ring towards electrophilic substitution reactions at ortho and para positions. Since in bromination, Br+ is the electrophile.
