JUNAID KHAN candidly confesses to SUMAN SHARMA about why he marches to his own beat
-

Junaid Khan’s acting journey has been marked by his bold and diverse choices, starting with his stage performances. He showcased his versatility in productions like Shikhandi, where he portrayed multiple roles and Strictly Unconventional, where he earned praise for his compelling portrayal of a transwoman. His theatrical repertoire also includes Runaway Brides and Medea, directed by his sister Ira Khan. Transitioning to films, he made a notable debut in the OTT release Maharaj. His debut role as social reformer Karsandas Mulji was an ambitious choice. But he enthralled the critics with his screen presence and acting chops. His second film, Loveyapa, a theatrical release, is a remake of the Tamil film Love Today (2022), which resonated with the audience due to its unconventional portrayal of love. He knows he isn’t your typical screen hero but has enough confidence in his capabilities to court success with a smile. He comes clean on his life and career choices in his own words:
WHY MAHARAJ STOLE MY HEART
When Maharaj came my way, it was the first project that truly spoke to me. The role was serious and substantial and I was drawn to the story. Yash Raj Films is one of the best producers in the country. Also I’ve always liked the work of Sidharth Malhotra. I’m genre-agnostic. I didn’t necessarily want my first film to be a romantic one. I simply felt a connection to Maharaj and was excited to be a part of it.

In today’s world, we often put up barriers to love. These aren’t always external forces like a villain. Sometimes, we’re our own obstacles. Loveyapa touches on how we build these barriers ourselves and how we can break them down to experience fulfilling relationships.
