In a recent interview, Aamir shared insights into Junaid's journey, revealing that his son faced rejection in over 15 auditions before securing his debut project with YRF. Aamir also revealed that he never intended to launch his son as he feels that true talent is the key to survival in the competitive film industry. With Junaid Khan's diverse roles and upcoming ventures, it's clear that he is aiming to create an identity of his own other than that of a superstar's son.
