Aamir Khan is one of the most loved stars in India, and he often works on films based on diverse themes. One such film was Taare Zameen Par, which revolved around a child dealing with dyslexia. Recently, the actor's son Junaid Khan revealed that his parents realized he had dyslexia after they heard the film's script.
In a new interview with Vickey Lalwani on his YouTube channel, Junaid Khan shared that his dyslexia diagnosis came to light after his parents, Aamir Khan and Reena Dutta, heard the script of the critically acclaimed film Taare Zameen Par. They recognized the similar symptoms in him and sought professional advice. Also, since he was younger when he began treatment, it didn't affect his life much.
"When they heard the script of Taare Zameen Par, they were like, 'Ek second… We have seen this in our lives'. And actually, it was at that point that they took me to a specialist, and I was diagnosed with dyslexia," he shared.
