Junaid Khan recently shared how his parents, Aamir Khan and Reena Dutta, found out that he had dyslexia while they were reading the script of the film Taare Zameen Par. The actor got candid about his diagnosis of dyslexia at an early age.

Junaid Khan reveals he was diagnosed with dyslexia.

The actor, who will next be seen in Advait Chandan’s “Loveyapa,” revealed that he was diagnosed with dyslexia when he was around 6 years old. In an interview with Vickey Lalwani, he shared that it happened while his parents were reading the script of Taare Zameen Par. He said, “Neither of my parents was particular (about my results)… I was also diagnosed with dyslexia very early on. So, I think they were mindful of that, especially in schooling.” When the host asked if his diagnosis of dyslexia prompted Aamir Khan to make Taare Zameen Par, Junaid said that it was the opposite way around, saying, “Actually, I think it was a little bit the other way around. When they heard the script of Taare Zameen Par, they were like, ‘Ek second… We have seen this in our lives’. And actually, it was at that point that they took me to a specialist, and I was diagnosed with dyslexia.”
