Aamir Khan’s son Junaid Khan recently made his acting debut with the film ‘Maharaj’ which also starred Shalini Pandey, Sharvari and Jaideep Ahlawat. In an interview, Junaid shared about the unconditional support that he receives from his family and how it has helped him throughout the journey. 

He said, "We don't really talk about films so much. But I know that Ira (my sister) unconditionally supports me. I'm blessed because I come from a very supportive family. Also, they don't shy away from saying it like it is. Even Papa (Aamir) will say, 'Look, I feel this, but you should do what you want.' The same is with mom. So, yeah, I think everybody is very supportive and very encouraging even in their criticism." Further adding,  "I guess that is a compliment (laughs). No, I don't know how to answer that in the sense that it's not necessarily a conscious thing. I guess as performers, we're all different. He's a fantastic actor. A lot of times, between two of his own films, you would not be able to tell it's the same person. So, yes, we are very different as performers.”

His film ‘Maharaj’ is currently streaming on Netflix but it was put on hold by the court after a complaint was made that the film is set to harm religious beliefs. However, the stay on the film was lifted after nothing of such nature was found. Meanwhile, Junaid is reportedly gearing up for his next project where he will star alongside Khushi Kapoor, who recently made her debut with Zoya Akhtar’s directorial The Archies. It released last year on Netflix also featuring Suhana Khan, Agastya Nanda, and Vedang Raina in the lead roles. It will be the first time Junaid and Khushi will be sharing the screen together.
