Junaid Khan and Khushi Kapoor are gearing up for the release of their upcoming
rom-com
Loveyappa, and the actors recently shared their experiences with public transport during a podcast appearance. Junaid also recalled a humorous moment involving his father, Aamir Khan.
During the conversation with Bharti Singh and her husband, Harsh Limbachiyaa, Junaid mentioned that using auto-rickshaws has never been an issue for him, as he largely goes unrecognised. He explained, “Nobody knows me as such. I can easily take an auto. I take an auto almost every day. It was just once that they recognised me.” He recounted a humorous encounter when he was travelling in an
auto-rickshaw
from Andheri to Bandra and happened to stop at the same traffic signal as his father, Aamir Khan. Spotting Junaid, Aamir rolled down his car window and greeted him with a casual “Hi, Papa,” leaving the auto driver bewildered. The driver, surprised by the exchange, asked Junaid if he knew Aamir, to which Junaid jokingly responded that they lived in the same area and shared family roots in Benaras.

Meanwhile, Khushi Kapoor’s response to the same question left everyone surprised. When asked if she uses auto-rickshaws for commuting, she revealed that she has taken an auto only within the house campus and sometimes when they are travelling to Madh Island for a shoot.
Khushi explained that her parents , Sridevi and Boney Kapoor, were not in favour of her using auto-rickshaws, which limited her experience with them. “Actually, I was not allowed to take an auto. My parents were against it. So I used to take autos within the campus,” she stated.
Directed by Advait Chandan, Loveyappa features an ensemble cast including Grusha Kapoor, Ashutosh Rana, Tanvika Parlikar, Kiku Sharda, Devishi Mandan, Aaditya Kulshreshth, and Nikhil Mehta. The film is scheduled to hit theatres on February 7.
