Aamir Khan praises son Junaid Khan's film despite failure

Aamir Khan has finally broken his silence on the failure of his son Junaid Khan’s debut romantic-comedy Loveyapa.

The veteran Indian actor, who garnered recognition for his acclaimed performances in the industry, praised his son’s role in the 2025 film despite its commercial setback.

In an exclusive conversation with Raj Shamani, Aamir, 60, said, “Loveyapa released, but it didn’t work. I actually liked the film. The film was widely trolled. It got into nepotism debate that they're nepo-kids while me and Junaid are not like that.”

Addressing the “negative backlash” his son faced over accusations of nepotism, he added, “Up till now, I have not interfered in Junaid’s career, nor do I want to. I can only pray to God to give all my success to Junaid and nothing more than that.”

Later in the interview, the PK star also opened up about his brother, Faisal Khan, sharing that while he intended to support him, he was unable to make a significant contribution to his career.

On the professional front, Aamir is currently gearing up for his upcoming project, Sitaare Zameen Par, co-starring Darsheel Safary and Genelia Deshmukh.

The sequel to the 2007 Taare Zameen Par is slated for release on June 20.
