And Thank you for not being one of those parents who keep coming to me for dance lessons and say stuff like “ my son is an amazing dancer already and he will be perfect for your intermediate class ” when they can’t even move 😒.

Ekdum dherai.They send me videos of their kids dancing at home and asking for advanced classes 🤦🏼‍♀️I politely tell them to get into basic class first.

I remember reading a very old blind that aamir didn't want his son to Debut till the time he himself was playing a leading man. Dont know how credible that was

Arre kya musibad. Help karo tou nepotism. Na karo tou child mistreatment. Lose lose situaton ji. LOL! Kaunsa kare these actors? Maybe Junzi is no good.Also this makes no sense. How can a 7 feet tall person (as young FG) and a much shorter AK (as old FG) play the same character?

Tbh I don't mind father producing for kids type nepotism. And I believe most of anti nepo people also don't mind Vasu Bhagnani producing one film per year for Jackie. People started objecting when these fathers started bagging movies from other PHs and big directors. Before the aspiring actors were sure if they work hard, big producers directors will give them break someday. Now it is not possible because nepokids hijack those projects not produced/directed by their dad.

Poor kid, his self confidence must have hit low. If their own parents don't support the kids, how will strangers show confidence in them?

He probably hijacked the whole film from his son.

^ true. His self confidence would have hit a low. But there are a few misconceptions about Junaid here..He lE IS NOT 7 FEET TALL. He’s 6”3 ! and where was that blind that Aamir wants himself to play the main lead and doesn’t want Junaid? I don’t buy that he will spoil his son’s life. Also, i dont understand why was Junaid never groomed by Aamir himself other than sending him to filmschool? Like wearing good clothes n stuff. Azad wears all branded stuff,while Junaid just repeats clothes all the time. He was sporting a big beard on his birthday n looked slimmer though..maybe hes preparing for a film role? He did train to be an actor and has done a few theatre plays in mumbai through audition so i dont think he would be as bad. I think he should get film a film which suits his personality and personally groom him, not just “leave it to him”. He didn’t spend time with him while growing up so atleast should make it up for it...

Aamir treated him like dirt when he was assisting Hirani. Now this. He should tell the guy upfront if he does not want him in the same profession as him rather than trying to break his confidence. If he is talented he will make his own path.
