Junaid Khan might be the only nepo kid who was immediately accepted by the audience and got zero hate . And rightly so .. bande mein kuch baat to hai .. pasand to aagaya hai ye sabko 😍😍🥰🥰... good luck to him in his future projects .

he is the only star kid in Bollywood right now.

he is very likable. he is like one of us. no attitude, no unnecessary ego, or sense or privilege. Not trying to act like someone from a different planet who incarnated here to show us how bad we are. I could go on and on how other actors project themselves to be. He does not do that and I sincerely hope that he stays like this for ever

[@chrish2518]

I think because he is so humble

[@vimigupta4393]

He laughs with his soul. He is the most genuine person I’ve seen in the media. Even the interviewers seem more put on than him. He is refreshingly a good human being. It goes a long way. This level of honest is a rare sight. He is so talented too. I truly wish him the very best. I’m so sick of the wannabe types.

[@pushpapandey1139]

Omg he was in maharaja and I had no idea he was Amir Khan’s son! Very handsome, smart and very good acting. He is the only nepotism kid I liked so far. God bless you kiddo! 🙏🇨🇦

[@jyotivsood4476]

I like the way he laugh his eyes get closed and you can see his smile ear to ear…. Honestly he is a simple sweet genuine person… I hope he never gets hurt and nothing changes him

[@bee3944]

I really wish him to make it big in this fake glam world of Bollywood.. We need this kind of energy like 90s.. Intelligent , So real..So Genuine..

That shy boyish charm is very endearing and will capture the urban audience of India, if he gets a good script and movie...best of luck to you, Junaid.

Junaid is gentleman, with class mannerisms, ettiquttes. Its surely rare but refreshing to come across such well bred nepo kid. He carries legacy of his grandfather. Wish lots of blessings and all the best to Junaid.

[@Nina-oi1qk]

I like that he speaks Hindi so well. Very refreshing and unusual in a star kid.

[@asmatkhan5906]

Good point. One of the major skill for any Indian actor that is required to become a legend is fluency and understanding of Hindi and Urdu language. They help you to deliver dialogues with ease, good facial expressions, and to connect with audiences. If you look at all the super stars of Indian cinema like Sir Dilip Kumar, Sir Amitabh Bachan, and Sir Sharukh Khan, they all had or have brilliant skills in hindi and urdu languages. Asmat khan .

[@geetatripathi2454]

He has clarity in his thinking, very humble and lot of potential. Waiting for many more good work from the actor Junaid Khan. God Bless him!! An actor is an actor. He epitomises that. Being a fan boy of his character's grandson shows his sincerity for his work. Keep going. !!

This guy will make his own way and in coming years won’t have to bhi called as Nepo kid but will have his own identity. He won’t be a typical Superstar or commercial star but will have his own loyal fan base.

[@sanguinemcorda4310]

@Bepositive_PK why do you think he will not be commercial star ?

[@Pooja_tupe]

He proved that he's the son of perfectionist!❤ Hes really different from other nepo kids!

[@Anjanavlogsandrecipies]

Don’t anyone dare call him a nepo kid ✋🏼….he took the usual outsider path of stage- audition then wait for role . His smile, stretch of lips while smiling and innocent laughter all are so endearing ❤ Aamir long time back said ‘ neither am I pushing my kids into any direction nor am holding them back from any pursuit- am there for advice but the journey is theirs to take finally’

[@debitaradutta4376]

While it's true that my crush list keeps getting updated every few months 😂 but honestly I have never been more obsessed with anyone before as I am with Junaid now. The more I am getting to know him, the more I am liking him. Also this is for the first time that I am following someone from their very first film. While watching Maharaj, it actually never felt like it was his first film! He was so good! And now not missing any of his interviews. Such honesty & rawness this guy has! It's hard to not fall for him 💘🥺 I have a firm belief that he is going to become the next big thing in Bollywood. Will eagerly look forward to his future projects. And I hope he stays the same way as he is now. Will come back to these interviews yet again when he reaches the zenith of success 🙌🏾😊🙏🏾

[@shekhardeshmukh720]

Junaid looks Very sincere. And transparent too. There is innocence in his expressions. Some one commented on his unnecessary laughing in between every sentence. But I strongly feels, this is uniqueness of his personality. No need to change it. And no need to compare him with any one. Included his "Perfectionist" father Aamir.

True...he is very genuine unlike other nepo kids with a scripted talk show

I wish him all the best Asmat khan- London.

He is not a conventional hero n does not fit the usual Commercial Hero crieteria. For sure, he is a good actor. He now needs to choose good scripts, and he will do well. The giggling though needs to be tonned down a little 😅 Reena has done a good job in raising both the kids. A diplomatic answer abt Aamir's contributions as a Father in their life. Probably 25% involvement n rest all Reena taking care of them.
