In a recent interview with YouTuber Puja Talwar, Junaid Khan shared that he is paving his path while exploring his career.

When asked if he is a 'perfectionist' like his dad, Aamir, and whether he is under pressure to carry the superstar's legacy, the star kid denied saying, "I don't think so."

"Everybody has to do their own thing. Life pans out differently for everybody. I’m on this journey, enjoying myself," he added.

Aamir Khan likes films except his own movies, says Junaid

Junaid Khan has often been asked how Aamir Khan reacted to his debut in Maharaj since the movie's release. Junaid spoke about it again, saying his father "likes everything."

"As an audience and, when he watches something he wants to enjoy it, so he ends up liking it. Barring his own films where he’s not an audience," the Maharaj actor said.

Earlier in an interview, Junaid Khan shared that Aamir Khan "liked" his film, Maharaj. Junaid also talked about receiving feedback from the superstar. The young actor said that Aamir doesn't interfere in his work unless he asks "something very specific." The 59-year-old actor often gives him advice, Junaid added.
