Aamir Khan shares two kids with his first wife, Reena Dutta—Junaid and Ira Khan. Junaid’s first public appearance impressed fans with his looks and humility, though many were surprised to learn Aamir had children in their late 20s and early 30s.
In conversation with SCREEN, Junaid said that he feels that Aamir Khan’s youthful appearance often leads fans to overlook the fact that he has grown-up children. He also acknowledges that his distinct look adds to the surprise for many.
Junaid further shared that he rarely faces comparisons to his father despite also being an actor. After debuting in Maharaj on Netflix, he is set to make his big-screen debut with Loveyapa. Addressing pressure to prove himself, he emphasized that each actor has their own journey.
When asked if being a star kid helps him handle the pressures of acting, Junaid acknowledged the advantages. He highlighted gaining insights into the industry firsthand and having a supportive family who understands its challenges. However, he believes personal failures are the true teachers in this journey.
Junaid shared that his parents have always encouraged him to make his own decisions and learn from his mistakes. While they provide excellent guidance when needed, they inspire him to trust his instincts and explore life on his own terms. Their support remains unwavering whenever he seeks their advice.
Junaid Khan will star alongside Khushi Kapoor in the film Loveyapa. The movie also features Grusha Kapoor, Ashutosh Rana, Tanvika Parlikar, Kiku Sharda, and Kunj Anand. Directed by Advait Chandan, and produced by Phantom Studios and AGS Entertainment, Loveyapa will hit the theatres on February 7, 2025.
