Aamir Khan’s son, Junaid Khan, has been the subject of significant media attention due to controversies surrounding his debut film, Maharaj. Reflecting on the movie, Junaid mentioned that his father, Aamir Khan, watched the film a few months prior and appreciated it.
When asked if he seeks advice from her father, he told news agency ANI, “He (Aamir) normally lets us do what we want to do unless we ask for something very specific; then he gives advice. But he liked the film. Kuch mahino pehle dekhi thi unhone film aur unko kaafi pasand aayi (He saw the film a few months ago and he liked it).” He added, “He normally tends to give very good advice but otherwise, he doesn’t get involved in… he lets his kids be.”

Junaid, born to Aamir and his first wife, Reena Dutta, plays the role of Karsandas Mulji, a journalist and social reformer in the film. Set in pre-independent India, Maharaj is a period drama based on the Maharaj Libel Case of 1862. The film is produced by Aditya Chopra under YRF Entertainment and directed by Siddharth P Malhotra.
After being praised for her performance, Junaid expressed his gratitude for the movie’s largely positive response and said, “I am grateful for the by and large positive response that Maharaj has received. So yeah, it’s quite satisfying. I guess all is well that ends well.”
