. Junaid had become a talk of the town due to his down-to-earth behaviour despite being a star-kid.
He travels in auto-rickshaws and that also became a point of discussion. Now in a recent interview, Aamir has admitted that he tried convincing Junaid to take a car but he refused.
The '3 Idiots' actor also recalled an instance where he chose to travel via bus instead of a flight.
Aamir said in an interview with The New India, "All three of my children are very sensitive. During the pandemic, both Reena's parents caught the virus together, and Junaid immediately offered to move in with them.
For two weeks, he took care of them alone, and made sure that they were okay, because even the help wasn't around then. It just shows what a sensitive person he is. I felt very proud.
He added, 'You'd be shocked to know that Junaid hasn't bought a car ever. He's done two movies. He uses public transport. I'm tired of telling him to get a car; he can take one of mine, I have cars. He says, 'No, dad, I don't need a car, I just book an OLA'.

He was in Kerala one time, and he had to attend a friend's wedding in Bengaluru. I asked him what flight he's on, and he said that he's taking the overnight state transport bus. He's an unusual kind of person.
But they were never raised to be materialistic. I don't care for money much myself.'
Junaid had revealed in an interview that he choses a certain lifestyle just for convenience. For instance, travelling in train to Mira Road is easier than being stuck in traffic for two hours. He had also said during a chat with Connect Cine, 'Papa makes a big deal out of small things. I just travel the most efficient way of traveling. I often take rickshaws in Mumbai because it is easier to get around and not worry about parking.

Kalakshetra gears up for spectacular overhaul with light show, museum
1 2 3 4 5 6 Guwahati: Srimanta Sankardev Kalakshetra Society (SSKS) gears up for a series of cultural and infrastructural upgrades, including a light and sound show, a musical fountain, and new landmark projects such as a museum dedicated to Dr Bhupen Hazarika, a theatre experience centre, and a state-of-the-art 800-seater auditorium. Chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, in a post on X on Thursday, shared a video of Kalakshetra and announced that the revamped amphitheatre and light and sound show are "coming soon". The storyline for the light and sound show is based on the life and journey of Mahapurush Srimanta Sankardev -- the great Vaishnavite saint and social reformer of Assam. "The light and sound show is set to be open to the public in Oct or Nov, while the musical fountain show is scheduled for Aug or Sept," said SSKS secretary Sudarsan Thakur. The construction of a new museum based on the life and works of 'Dr Bhupen Hazarika' will start in Sept, and the new auditorium — featuring advanced acoustic technology — is expected to be inaugurated around Sept or Oct. Once completed, it will become the second largest auditorium within the Kalakshetra premises, next only to the Srimanta Sankardeva International Auditorium, which has a 1,250-seat capacity, Thakur said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Newick: If You Were Born Between 1945-1974 You Could Be Eligible For This British Seniors Get Quote Undo As part of its theatre archive project, the SSKS is also developing the theatre experience centre — the first of its kind in the country — on the ground floor of the new auditorium.
