A revelation about Aamir Khan's brothers: an alleged affair and a hidden child from his first marriage are under scrutiny.
In the midst of a wave of allegations of cheating and harassment sweeping through Bollywood, Aamir Khan, one of India's most beloved actors, finds himself embroiled in a personal scandal. Faissal Khan, Aamir's brother, has publicly alleged that Aamir had an extramarital affair with UK-based journalist Jessica Hines during his first marriage to Reena Dutta and fathered a secret child named Jaan out of wedlock [1][2][3][4][5].
Faissal has challenged Aamir to deny these claims and has stated that he possesses proof, even proposing a DNA test to establish paternity [3]. However, Aamir Khan has not publicly confirmed or denied these allegations.
The controversy has arisen just weeks before the release of Aamir's upcoming film, "The Final Act," scheduled for a Diwali release in 2025. The scandal has stirred significant social media debate and fan frenzy, causing mixed reactions within the industry [1]. Insiders and some directors have commented on the situation, suggesting that the scandal has created a distraction during the critical pre-release promotional period [1].
The precise effect on box office earnings remains uncertain, but the timing could potentially impact the commercial performance of the film. Tellychakkar posted on Instagram about the scandal, stating that Aamir had an affair while married and had a baby with the unnamed female [6]. Faissal's comments have made people reconsider their views about Aamir and his previous relationship with Reena Dutta.
Some insiders from the film industry have provided video evidence and comments about the scandal. The substance of Faissal Khan's claims is yet to be verified. Aamir Khan's legal team has sent a cease and desist letter to Faissal Khan [7].
The controversies in Bollywood highlight the delicate balance between being loved and self-scrutiny in the entertainment industry. The scandal is causing damage to Aamir Khan's carefully crafted public image. The alleged female counterpart in the affair is said to be a friend of the Khans.
As of now, Aamir Khan is reportedly planning to issue a statement before his next film's release. The scandal is adding a layer to the ongoing conversation about accountability and transparency in Bollywood.
