Aamir Khan and Reena Dutta’s son, Junaid Khan, is set for his first theatrical release, Loveyapa, co-starring Khushi Kapoor. However, unlike many young actors in the industry, he remains absent from social media. In a recent interview, Junaid admitted that his family background gives him a significant advantage in securing roles, even without a digital presence.
Having started his career as an assistant on his father’s productions, Junaid made his acting debut in 2024 with YRF’s Maharaj. Speaking with Radio Nasha, he candidly acknowledged his privilege, stating, “Nobody has said anything negative to me, actually. I’m not on social media, so I have no idea.” He further added, “Producers will cast me even without seeing any public presence. Not many actors have that. It’s purely because of the family I come from.”
His Loveyapa co-star, Khushi Kapoor, echoed similar sentiments, admitting she is also privileged and has no complaints about it. “We have a lot to be thankful for, so I don’t really want to be in a position to complain about anything. I am happy where I am,” she said.
Set to release in theaters on February 7, Loveyapa, directed by Advait Chandan, is a remake of the 2022 Tamil hit Love Today. The film follows Gaurav (Junaid Khan) and Baani (Khushi Kapoor), whose relationship is tested when Baani’s father (Ashutosh Rana) forces them to swap phones. What begins as a trust exercise soon unravels shocking secrets, turning their love story upside down.
Produced by Phantom Studios and AGS Entertainment, with Zee Studios handling global distribution, Loveyapa also features Grusha Kapoor, Ashutosh Rana, Tanvika Parlikar, Kiku Sharda, and Kunj Anand. Before this rom-com, Junaid was last seen in Maharaj alongside Shalini Pandey, Jaideep Ahlawat, and Sharvari.
