Aamir Khan says he's tired of telling his son Junaid Khan to get a car: 'He once took a state transport bus instead of a flight'

Aamir Khan's son Junaid Khan made his debut with 'Maharaj' on OTT and his first theatrical release was 'Loveyapa' with Khushi Kapoor. Junaid had become a talk of the town due to his down-to-earth behaviour despite being a star-kid. He travels in auto-rickshaws and that also became a point of discussion. Now in a recent interview, Aamir has admitted that he tried convincing Junaid to take a car but he refused. The '3 Idiots' actor also recalled an instance where he chose to travel via bus instead of a flight.

Aamir Khan said in an interview with The New India, "All three of my children are very sensitive. During the pandemic, both Reena’s parents caught the virus together, and Junaid immediately offered to move in with them. For two weeks, he took care of them alone, and made sure that they were okay, because even the help wasn’t around then. It just shows what a sensitive person he is. I felt very proud.


He added, “You’d be shocked to know that Junaid hasn’t bought a car ever. He’s done two movies. He uses public transport. I’m tired of telling him to get a car; he can take one of mine, I have cars. He says, ‘No, dad, I don’t need a car, I just book an OLA’. He was in Kerala one time, and he had to attend a friend’s wedding in Bengaluru. I asked him what flight he’s on, and he said that he’s taking the overnight state transport bus. He’s an unusual kind of person. But they were never raised to be materialistic. I don’t care for money much myself.”

Junaid had revealed in an interview that he choses a certain lifestyle just for convenience. For instance, travelling in train to Mira Road is easier than being stuck in traffic for two hours. He had also said during a chat with Connect Cine, “Papa makes a big deal out of small things. I just travel the most efficient way of traveling. I often take rickshaws in Mumbai because it is easier to get around and not worry about parking.”
