Aamir Khan's son Junaid Khan made a remarkable Bollywood debut with Maharaj. Currently enjoying the success of the film, Junaid has also received critical acclaim for his standout performance. Along with praise from critics and fans, he has been notably recognized by his father for making his way into the industry. Recently, the Laal Singh Chaddha actor also praised his son for achieving everything independently.

The PK actor was recently asked about Junaid's debut and expressed his relief that people have appreciated his son's work. He conveyed his gratitude to the audience, saying they liked Junaid's performance and noted that he chose an "unusual story" for his debut.

The actor highlighted that Junaid has always achieved things on his own, and he takes great pride in his son's independence. He mentioned that Junaid secured the role in the film through his efforts, including screen tests, and expressed his happiness that Junaid has earned his success.

Khan said, "Mujhe ye bhot khushi hoti hai ki ye har cheez usne apne khud ke dam pe ki hai". He also wished his son well for this promising first step in his career.

Junaid Khan has two more projects in the works and is reportedly busy filming them. One of these projects Ek Din, stars Sai Pallavi and is produced by Aamir Khan’s production company. The film has been shot in Japan.
