Aamir Khan’s son Junaid Khan recently made his acting debut with Netflix’s Maharaj and garnered accolades for his performance. However, the Laal Singh Chaddha star was not sure whether his son was a good actor.

AK recalled that he warned his son ahead of his debut and told him that he would be compared to his father. “You can’t get rid of ‘Aamir Khan’s son’ tag. You will unreasonably be pressurized by it,” shared Aamir in a podcast with Rhea Chakraborty.

Aamir also admitted that he wasn’t sure if his son was a good actor. “Kyunki woh bahot shy tha (because he was too shy).” “I was worried as a father,” the Thugs of Hindostan actor said. However, after Maharaj, Aamir felt “he has shown a lot of promise”

What an honor and pleasure it is for me to share with you all the picture Mr. Samir Vatsaraj who is one of the great grandchildren (maternal)of the great reformer Karsandas Mulji. Junaid got to meet him and as he informs me the only person he has ever taken a selfie with :) pic.twitter.com/cfDKNVyCm0

Talking about the review, Firstpost gave Maharaj 3 stars and wrote, “Talking about the performances, Junaid Khan makes a confident debut and puts his best foot forward for the unconventional role. While Shalini Pandey and Sharvari Wagh have played the role, its Jaideep Ahlawat, who has stolen the show with his impeccable and powerful portrayal of JJ. The versatile actor makes a strong statement even with his minimalistic dialogues thanks to his ability to deliver supreme emotions with layers. On the whole, Maharaj deserves a watch for bringing out the sensitive part of Indian history and the heroic mindset of Karsandas Mulji.”

The movie also features Jaideep Ahlawat, Shalini Pandey and Sharwari Wagh in prominent roles.
