Junaid Khan, the son of Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan, recently shed light on the contrasting influences his parents had on his life. Junaid, who debuted in the Netflix film Maharaj, spoke about his father’s dedication to work and his mother’s role in shaping his personality.
Junaid Khan credits mom Reena Dutta for upbringing, says Aamir Khan “would be busy a lot in life”: “If you need it, he will have all the time in the world you want”
Junaid On Learning from Aamir’s Work Ethic
Junaid acknowledges the valuable lessons learned from his father’s long career. “He has been doing this for 40 years now, he has seen everything,” Junaid said during a chat with Siddharth Kanan, referring to Aamir’s recent box office setbacks with Laal Singh Chaddha and Thugs of Hindostan. He admires his father’s ability to analyze failures and move forward. “There is a lot to learn from just how he conducts himself. Failures affect him, but he takes the time to process it and then move on to learning from it. He will figure out what went wrong and proceed from there, so that’s his process which is probably the best way to go about it,” he added.
Junaid Credits Mom Reena Dutta For Shaping Him
Junaid credits his mother, Reena Dutta, for having a more profound impact on his upbringing. He acknowledges, “My mother has a huge impact on my life. She is the one who brought me up. Papa is a very loving father, but he would be busy a lot in life. So, the one person who has shaped me the most as a person is my mother. But if there is a difficulty that I am going through, I can call anyone, maa, papa, Ira. They are always one phone call away.”
He further added, “Even papa, who is incredibly busy, if you need to get a hold of him, it will not take you more than a couple of minutes, and if you need it, he will have all the time in the world you want. I have a supportive, open family. So whenever you want to talk, it is always open for discussion.”
This sentiment builds on Aamir’s own confession on Koffee with Karan in 2022. He expressed regret over prioritizing work over family time with his children. However, Aamir seems to be making amends, focusing more on family connections in recent months.
Junaid’s Debut and Aamir’s Next
Junaid’s debut film Maharaj marked his entry into the film industry, while Aamir is gearing up for the release of Sitaare Zameen Par this December.
