‘WILL SUPPORT KIDS ONLY IF...’
... they are deserving, says actor Aamir Khan about helping his kids get into the film industry
Actor Amir Khan (right) says he will help his children if they wish to enter the world of films provided they are deserving.
Aamir has two children from his first wife Reena Dutta, son Junaid and daughter Ira.
“He (Junaid) is studying theatre.. he is interested in theatre. She (Ira) is planning not to study.. she is going my way,” Aamir says.
On whether he will help his children if they want to get into films, the PK (2014) star says, “Of course, I will help them. If I feel they have the talent and are deserving I will surely help them.. if not deserving then I will tell them they aren’t deserving.”
Junaid has assisted filmmaker Rajkumar Hirani on “PK”. Meanwhile Aamir will be celebrating his eleveth wedding anniversary with wife and filmmaker Kiran Rao in Panchgani, a hill station in Maharashtra.
“I am bad with (remembering) birthday dates. Every year we have a problem as Salman’s birthday is on December 27 and our anniversary is on December 28. This year too we will be celebrating it in their house in Panchgani,” Aamir says.
The perfectionist met Kiran on the sets of Lagaan (2001), who was then working on the film as an assistant director. Cupid struck and they later chose to get married.
If I feel they have the talent and are deserving I will surely help them.. if not deserving then I will tell them they aren’t deserving. AAMIR KHAN, ACTOR
