Junaid Khan, the son of Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan and his ex-wife Reena Dutta, is making waves in the entertainment industry with his noteworthy roles in theatre plays. While his Bollywood debut is eagerly awaited, he has been establishing himself as a talented actor on the theatre stage. Junaid's next theatre project, "Strictly Unconventional," is generating a lot of buzz due to his unique character.

In this upcoming play, Junaid Khan will be portraying a transwoman, a role that has piqued the audience's curiosity.
