Unlike many stars in Bollywood who had a grand launch, Aamir Khan’s kids have chosen a different path. Both Junaid and Ira chose to showcase their creative skills in theatre first. While the former ventured into the medium some years ago, his sister Ira has also decided to try her hand at direction. The youngster's directorial play Medea recently released, and if the celebrity reviews are anything to go by, Ira has made a fine debut. Even her lead actor Hazel Keech is receiving praises for her act.
Parzania & Raees fame Rahul Dholakia was among those who was impressed by Medea. The filmmaker wrote on Twitter, “Hazel Keech is spectacular in #medea the play ! Such a delight to see young talented #Ira direct a wonderful cast - congratulations all @aksharahaasan1 sarika Junnu ..” (sic) Singer Raageshwari too praised Hazel Keech’s act as ‘strikingly played’. She added that it was a “Riveting performance by the heroic antihero.”
