Aamir Khan, an iconic figure in Bollywood, has enjoyed immense success over two decades, solidifying his position as one of the industry’s most accomplished actors.
Contrary to expectations of a grand launch typical for celebrity offspring, Aamir Khan’s son, Junaid, is quietly entering Bollywood with his debut film, “Maharaj,” set to release on June 14, 2024. Junaid’s approach emphasizes talent over publicity stunts, diverging from the traditional trajectory of star kids.
Junaid Khan’s debut has been notably low-key, with minimal promotion beyond the official poster, potentially a strategic move to sidestep the nepotism discourse increasingly prevalent in the wake of underwhelming performances by other star kids like Suhana Khan and Sharmin Segal.
The ongoing nepotism debate in Bollywood intensified following the tragic demise of Sushant Singh Rajput in 2020. Recent disappointments from star kids, including Sharmin Segal’s lackluster reception, have fueled audience backlash against industry favoritism.
