When Aamir Khan shared the story behind Junaid's name: 'It's an Arabic word...'
Aamir Khan revealed that his son Junaid's name means 'Warrior' in Arabic, suggested by his sister Farhat. After months of discussion, the family agreed on it. Junaid debuted in 2024's Maharaj, earning praise, but his next film Loveyapa faced criticism for performances. Aamir Khan 's eldest son, Junaid Khan , who has recently stepped into acting, often grabs media attention. Aamir once shared the meaningful story behind Junaid's name, revealing who in the family came up with it. An old video of Aamir recounting this story has recently resurfaced on social media, offering fans a glimpse into the name's origin. Meaning and Origin of the Name Junaid In a past interview with Lehren Networks, Aamir Khan explained that the name Junaid, meaning "Warrior," comes from the Arabic word where "Jun" signifies spear. He described Junaid as the soldier positioned at the front line in battle, facing the greatest danger. Aamir also mentioned that the name was originally suggested by his younger sister, Farhat Khan. Family's Happiness Over the Name He added that they named him Junaid and expressed confidence that Ammi and Abbajaan are very happy, as he is their first grandson. He shared that everyone in the family is delighted, and he himself is very happy as well.

Despite initial delays caused by a Gujarat High Court stay, Junaid's portrayal of reformer and journalist Karsandas Mulji alongside Sharvari and Jaideep Ahlawat earned him critical acclaim.

Sports NGO Seeks Tax-Free Status For Aamir Khan's Sitaare Zameen Par In Maharashtra
Last Updated: Aamir Khan's Sitaare Zameen Par received a great response upon its June 20 release. Elite Games Federation requested Maharashtra's CM Devendra Fadnavis to make it tax-free. Aamir Khan's latest release, Sitaare Zameen Par, has received a good response from the audience and critics alike for its emotional depth and powerful storytelling. Now, the Elite Games Federation, a prominent sports NGO, has formally approached the Maharashtra government requesting that the film be granted tax-free status in the state. The NGO sent an official letter to Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, talking about the film's socially relevant themes. Directed by RS Prasanna, Sitaare Zameen Par tells the story of a disgraced basketball coach tasked with training a team of neurodivergent individuals. In a post shared on Instagram, the federation wrote, 'This Aamir Khan film is not just entertainment — it is a moving portrayal of the abilities, struggles, and dreams of children with intellectual and developmental disabilities. It aligns perfectly with our mission to promote inclusion in sports and society, especially for our para-athletes." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Elite Games Federation of India (@elitegamesfederation) They added that declaring the film tax-free in Maharashtra will be beneficial. 'Making this film tax-free will allow it to reach more families, schools, and communities — spreading a vital message of empathy, accessibility, and acceptance. We hope the government will support this effort to amplify inclusion and make a meaningful impact through cinema," the NGO added. They concluded, 'We hope the government will support this effort to amplify inclusion and make a meaningful impact through cinema. Let's celebrate every star on earth." Directed by R.S. Prasanna and co-starring Genelia Deshmukh, the film hit theatres on June 20, 2025, and is already stirring major nostalgia as a spiritual sequel to the 2007 gem Taare Zameen Par. Sitaare Zameen Par is a sports comedy drama film produced by Aamir Khan and Aparna Purohit. Aroush Datta, Gopi Krishna Varma, Samvit Desai, Vedant Sharma, Ayush Bhansali, Ashish Pendse, Rishi Shahani, Rishabh Jain, Naman Mishra and Simran Mangeshkar will make their Hindi cinema debut with the film. The film also boasts a strong supporting cast with seasoned performers like Dolly Ahluwalia, Gurpal Singh, Brijendra Kala, and Ankita Sehgal. The story centres on Gulshan, a former star basketball coach portrayed by Aamir Khan, who is ordered to coach a group of neurodivergent children as part of his community service following a DUI offence. What starts off as a begrudging assignment soon evolves into a life-changing experience for both him and the team. Genelia Deshmukh plays Sunita, Gulshan's supportive wife. N ews18 gave 3.5 rating to Sitaare Zameen Par. A part of our review read, 'Unlike Taare Zameen Par's Nikumbh, Gulshan isn't perfect. This is a flawed, man-child character, dealing with his own traumas, learning to navigate life with the help of those who suffer developmental delays. So far, on paper, Sitaare Zameen Par seems rather fantastic, novel, and heartfelt. And don't get us wrong — it definitely is all of that. But it also has its share of flaws that become a bump in its path to becoming a great film. To start with, at 2 hours 39 minutes, the film appears to be an extremely long and slow-moving affair."

Darsheel Safary Admits He Felt Left Out Of Sitaare Zameen Par: 'Main Ek Zariya Tha'
Last Updated: Darsheel Safary, known for his role in Taare Zameen Par, expressed mild disappointment but maturity about not being approached for Aamir Khan's new film Sitaare Zameen Par. Darsheel Safary, who moved audiences to tears with his iconic portrayal of Ishaan Awasthi in Taare Zameen Par, has finally opened up about being absent from Aamir Khan's new film Sitaare Zameen Par. In an exclusive chat with News18 Showsha, Darsheel responded with honesty and maturity when asked if he felt bad that Aamir didn't approach him for the spiritual sequel. While he acknowledged feeling a tinge of disappointment, he also accepted that the film was not just about him. Darsheel Safary told us, 'I feel that as actors, you have to go beyond certain emotions. Any good and bad depends on how personally you are taking what. I am very passionate about the film industry, I have studied films and I am very indulgent in it. I have put my soul here. That's why I know that a film is not just about me, it's an emotion and a story. It's something we can watch together. We can all learn to be loving individuals." Speaking about how he processed not being a part of the project, Darsheel said, 'Having possessiveness is a natural emotion, so there might have been days where I thought 'it'd have been cool if I was a part of Sitaare Zameen Par'. But then, if you look at the bigger picture, you are delivering the best product in the most natural, organic way. If it doesn't fit, it just doesn't." He added that his journey with Taare Zameen Par was never about individual ownership and said, 'I have always known that this film, Taare Zameen Par, is not about me… Main bas ek zariya tha. All our characters in Taare Zameen Par were mediums. It was never mine." He concluded with grace and gratitude, saying, 'That's what Aamir sir must have thought while making the film because their decision matters and the audience should have fun. I am all okay with me not being a part of Sitaare Zameen Par. I just feel lucky to be a part of that legacy." Sitaare Zameen Par is considered a spiritual successor to Aamir Khan's 2007 classic Taare Zameen Par. The original film followed the moving story of Ishaan, a dyslexic child played by Darsheel Safary, and touched hearts across the nation with its sensitive portrayal of learning disabilities. It also featured Tisca Chopra and Vipin Sharma. On the other hand, Sitaare Zameen Par is a sports comedy drama film produced by Aamir Khan and Aparna Purohit. Aroush Datta, Gopi Krishna Varma, Samvit Desai, Vedant Sharma, Ayush Bhansali, Ashish Pendse, Rishi Shahani, Rishabh Jain, Naman Mishra and Simran Mangeshkar will make their Hindi cinema debut with the film. The story centres on Gulshan, a former star basketball coach portrayed by Aamir Khan, who is ordered to coach a group of neurodivergent children as part of his community service following a DUI offence.
