Aamir Khan's daughter Ira Khan had the sweetest wish for her elder brother Junaid on Bhai Dooj today.
Ira took full advantage of Junaid’s absence from social media and wrote a long, heartfelt post about how she is proud to be his sister. Ira shared a behind-the-scenes video from a play they did together.
She wrote, "Oh, what to say... so much to say... how to say it right? Happy Bhaubeej, Junnu I don’t think I express or consider how grateful I am to have a brother like mine so that’s what I use this day for. Junaid is a kickass brother. Such large chunks of my personality and life are the way they are because of him - all good things! And then we spent a few years away from each other doing various things. When I came back, he said Faezeh was looking for people to help backstage. He was also a part of the play."

The video shows Junaid working with the crew and putting on makeup in the green room.
"Watching Junaid in a professional space is awe-striking. And it reminded me and emphasized to me how much he is outside of just being my brother. Watching him (and discussing him with the rest of the crew behind his back), I was bloated with pride. Of course, I’d never tell him that. But that’s the perks of him not being on social media. Take a moment to appreciate the people in your life. And use any excuse to do it. They deserve it and so do you," she wrote.
For the uninformed, Ira and Junaid are Aamir’s children from his first marriage to Reena Dutta.
