Speaking to Rhea Chakraborty on her podcast, Aamir Khan recalled he warned his son Junaid Khan ahead of his debut. He told his son that when Junaid's first film comes he will be compared to his father since he is an already established actor. "You can't get rid of ‘Aamir Khan's son' tag. You will unreasonably be pressurized by it," Aamir shared.
The actor-producer also admitted that he wasn't sure if Junaid was a good actor. “Kyunki voh bohot shy tha (because he was too shy).” “I was worried as a father,” he said. However, after Junaid's debut, Aamir felt “he has shown a lot of promise”.
