Junaid Khan About Kiran Rao
In a recent interview, Aamir Khan’s son Junaid Khan revealed that he auditioned for Kiran Rao’s Laapata Ladies. He said, “You would have seen me in Laal Singh Chaddha because I tested for it, along with Kiran Rao. She played my mother. We shot 7 to 8 scenes for the film over four days, amounting to about 20 minutes of footage. It was a test for me as well. Papa wanted to see how I dealt with the material. Ultimately, it didn’t work out, largely due to budget reasons. It was a very expensive film to put a new person in.”
In the same interview, “Laapataa Ladies was a very different scenario. I did a screen test for the film, but Kiran just said, ‘Sparsh Shrivastava is better for the part,’ and I agree with her. He was better suited for the role.” The Maharaj actor went on to say that this rejection doesn’t change his relationship with his stepmom Kiran Rao. He also added that Kiran Rao is a very fun and warm person.
