Khushi Kapoor

and Junaid Khan are gearing up for the release of their first collaboration together, 'Loveyapa', which will also mark their first theatrical release, as both made their acting debuts on OTT platforms. The romantic drama will hit theatres on February 7.
Khushi is the younger daughter of actor Sridevi and producer Boney Kapoor, while

Junaid

is the son of Aamir Khan and producer Reena Dutta. In a recent interview, they discussed the constant pressure of being ‘

star kids

’ and the comparisons between their parents.
Both Khushi and Junaid are busy promoting their movie, and in conversation with Indian Express, Junaid reveals that they first met at the producer's office and spent around six weeks rehearsing together. However, Khushi notes that their look tests were conducted separately due to the limited overlap of their scenes. They only shot together for about 5-6 days, reflecting the relatively minimal on-screen interaction between their characters.
Despite having scenes primarily set over phone conversations and filmed in different locations, they underwent extensive rehearsals to perfect their dialogue delivery. The intensive preparation fostered camaraderie, turning the rehearsal process into a journey of friendship.

The 'Maharaj' actor expressed a sense of independence, sharing that his parents encourage him to take risks, make mistakes, and follow his instincts, while offering advice when needed. He values their input but also seeks to follow his own path.
On the other hand, 'The Archies' actress emphasises a deeper reliance on her father’s approval before making any decisions, even though she trusts her own instincts. She prefers when her father's opinion aligns with hers, ensuring mutual agreement before taking any steps forward.
When asked whether Junaid had taken any fashion tips from Khushi, he reacted, “Khushi has given up on me. I’m thinking of taking inspiration from Boney (Kapoor) uncle.” Khushi emphasises that she never interferes with anyone’s choices but loves to suggest things.

Both of them reflected on the challenges and benefits of growing up in the spotlight. Khushi explains how she's been exposed to criticism from a young age, which has taught her to handle judgment and opinions. Junaid, on the other hand, emphasises the value of learning from failure rather than from others' experiences. He also acknowledges the advantages of being a star kid, such as understanding how the industry works and having a family with a deep understanding of the profession, offering a solid support system.
Junaid admitted that he is rarely compared to his father, as he looks different from Aamir Khan. People doubt that Aamir could have a grown-up son like him.
