LAHORE:
Bollywood’s Mr Perfectionist, Aamir Khan, has suggested his 18-year-old son Junaid Khan not to take up acting yet, but instead start by learning about Indian cinema.
Khan junior, who wants to follow his father’s footsteps and make a debut in Bollywood, has taken up the role of an assistant director to film-maker Rajkumar Hirani for his upcoming flick, Peekay.
“It was my suggestion that he [Junaid] should learn something about cinema first and get a new experience in life before he makes his choices,” said Aamir, who is also acting in the film, according to the Hindustan Times. He added that this step will help Junaid in the long run. “Let him discover it [his forte] and tell us what he wants to do in the future. Once he has a little understanding of the craft, let him choose. It’s too early to assume that he will end up in movies. It could be acting or directing; everything is going to be his choice.”
The actor added that Junaid is currently completing his BCom degree. We hope to see Junaid doing wonders in Bollywood, just like his father!
