Junaid Khan recently made his acting debut in the film titled Maharaj. Following his debut, he shared his thoughts on his father, Aamir Khan’s statement about how his children seldom heed his advice.
Junaid Khan’s Maharaj premiere on Netflix
Aamir Khan’s firstborn, Junaid Khan, has ventured into the realm of acting with his role in Maharaj. The film, directed by Malhotra P. Siddharth, explores the journey of the social reformer Karsandas Mulji, with Junaid portraying the lead. Opting for a digital route, the drama made its premiere on Netflix under the production banner of Yash Raj Films (YRF), bypassing traditional theater releases.
Junaid’s performance has garnered positive feedback, and the actor is currently enjoying the acclaim for Maharaj. Addressing his father Aamir Khan’s comments regarding parenting challenges, Junaid shared insights during an interview. Aamir had earlier revealed on The Great Indian Kapil Show, in his inaugural appearance, his personal struggles with parenting, particularly how his children, Junaid, Ira, and Azad, tend to ignore his guidance.
Aamir Khan as a Parent
He humorously lamented about being rendered ineffective as a parent in his children’s eyes, noting his friends’ children are more receptive to his advice compared to his own. “But my children just don’t seem interested,” Aamir jokingly complained, highlighting their dismissive reactions to his parental insights.

However, Junaid offered a different perspective in a discussion with Pinkvilla, indicating a nuanced understanding of their family dynamics. “We do listen; it’s just that there are moments when he embodies the typical parental role, prompting a gentle, ‘It’s okay, Papa. Let it go,’ response from us,” explained Junaid, acknowledging the generational gap while affirming respect for his father’s intentions.
