it's not his fans, they all love him because he is SRK's son. Good that he respects them and treated them well

Just because they are not as visible as SRK family, it does not mean they are not as high profile.
Junaid has his dad, uncles, great uncle's connections and networks to fall back on.
The only difference is the level of push and visibility. Aamir never force feeds audience. He will not keep promoting family members just because they are family. He will give chances but stop or ask his own relative to quit and adopt different profession if he thinks it is not working.
Aamir, Mansoor etc will promote Junaid for 6-8 years but if he is not accepted by audience or flops or does not impress critics or public, they will ask him to change gears. Junaid is also highly educated and can fall back on his degrees if he does not work as actor.
In contrast I think SRK will surpass Bachchans in promoting Aryan whether audience accepts Aryan or not.
This is evident given how he got Suhana on Vogue and Aryan for Adidas ad even before the kids did any film.

That’s what I meant by high profile vs low profile. SRK’s family is a lot more visible than Aamir’s. And by connection I was primarily talking about Dharma and YRF having a closer association with SRK than Aamir.
Other than that I agree with everything you said.
My friend saw Junaid's play. His acting was good and he even interacted a bit with him--said you cannot make out by a mile he is a billionaire's son. He is so down to earth. Overall he had nice things to say basis the limited interaction.
I feel Junaid may have a tough time initially as his debut is near and Aamir haters are very active on social media. Its really what the first impression he leaves as he doesn't have these teenagers going gaga like Aryan's adidas pictures.
On a side note, Junaid can do good with a cool makeover given the dude's 6ft tall !
Aryan Khan hero lagta hai pura
Purely personality wise, Aryan. He has that mysterious, yet humble look on point.. but acting wise no clue.. I would love to hear Aryan speak though. Someone bring the Khan family together for IV.. I will pay to watch it
Aryan. I don't think Junaid is even half as popular cuz I don't know who that is.
But Aryan doesnt want to become an actor, right? Then how is this a comparison?
Aryan 100% will not debut in Bollywood.
He himself isn't really into Indian culture and all that. All his friends like Anniec are all the American type. At USC he was talking to one of his friends and mentioned that his dad had recieved a lot of high profile film offers for him but he found it lame and wasn't interested. It was a masala film if I recall.
He likes directing but I don't think he is into directing big budget Bollywood blockbusters (although his mom wanted him to).
I have heard Junaid is a good actor but I don't know why he is not debuting in Bollywood. Maybe he doesn't want to? If he debuts as a hero in a big budget he'll get a lot of hate after LSC.
He's already older and doesn't have "youthful" looks and PR like Ranbir.
He should try doing a mix of leading roles in different genres and character roles. There isn't any younger actor reliably doing that as actors like Rajkumar Rao have typecasted themselves to one type of role. But trying different genres will get a lot of critical acclaim.
Kind of like what Paresh Rawal did, but he was typecasted into character roles because of his older age.
