Aamir Khan's son, Junaid Khan, is all prepared to make his theatrical debut alongside Boney Kapoor and Sridevi's daughter, Khushi Kapoor, in the film, Loveyapa. On January 10, 2025, a grand trailer launch event in Mumbai was organised by the makers of the film. Proud father, Aamir Khan attended the event to show his support for his son.
At the event, Aamir shared how proud he is of his son and the way he has conducted himself. For the unversed, Junaid is Aamir's son with his first wife, Reena Dutta. During a speech, the overwhelmed father expressed how seeing his son enter the industry he had worked in for over three decades made him emotional. He was quoted saying:
"As a father, I have been quite absent. I used to be in my own world while my kids navigated their childhood on their own. Today, I am extremely proud of how Junaid chose a career path for himself on his own terms. I have been in the industry since 1988. It has been over 36 years. Now that my son has also stepped into the same industry, it is a very emotional moment for me. I really wish him well."
In the same conversation, Aamir Khan further shared how he and his first wife tried to pass on the learnings his mother taught him when he was a kid. He added that he is immensely proud of his son. Aamir also took a moment to share some kind words for Junaid's co-star, Khushi Kapoor, who is also going to make her big screen debut with his son. Aamir was quoted saying:
"I am very proud and happy with the way he is conducting himself. Reena and I passed on the same discipline to Junaid and Ira that my mother gave to me. Sri must be proud of you. I really wish she was here to see you today."
Aamir Khan shared that he has decided to quit smoking for his son. The actor also requested his fans to quit smoking as well. He added that it is not a good habit and, with the beginning of his son's career, decided to quit this habit as well. He said,
"I'm very happy to say that I’ve quit this bad habit. And whoever is watching or listening, I want to tell them too to please quit it. It’s not a good habit. I felt I wanted to quit, my son’s career is starting too. I made a resolve in my heart. I’m quitting; whether it (Loveyapa) works or not, I’m doing this independently of that. I hope it does something somewhere in the universe. You guys pray and wish for that, too."
For the uninitiated, Loveyapa, set in the world of modern romance, promises a heartwarming story filled with unforgettable performances, vibrant music, and stunning visuals. Along with Khushi Kapoor and Junaid Khan, the film will also be featuring Grusha Kapoor, Ashutosh Rana, Tanvika Parlikar, and Kiku Sharda, among others. It is a production of Phantom Studios and is scheduled to release on February 7, 2025.
