A statement from Aamir Khan's family expresses concern over Faissal's supposed misleading statements, clarifying their perspective on the matter.
In a shocking turn of events, Faissal Khan, the brother of Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan, has levelled serious allegations against his family. The background of these allegations involves a long-standing and deeply personal family feud that has been simmering for over two decades.
Faissal has accused Aamir and their family of locking him up at home for over a year, administering medication against his will, and labelling him as schizophrenic and dangerous to society. These actions, he claims, severely affected his personal and professional life and form part of a conspiracy and defamation campaign against him by his family since around 2005.
The rift reportedly began after Faissal's debut film Mela (2000), which flopped, leading to a critical personal conversation where Aamir told Faissal he was not a good actor, suggesting he pursue other career options. Faissal also faced a legal battle with the family related to relinquishing his signatory rights, with courts ruling in his favor in 2008. He maintains that his family unjustly branded him mentally ill and mistreated him physically and emotionally, with recent interviews reiterating this narrative.
Aamir Khan and his family’s response to these allegations strongly denies mistreatment. They issued a joint statement expressing that they are “distressed” by Faissal’s “hurtful and misleading portrayal” of family members, including their mother and sister. The family emphasized that all decisions regarding Faissal were made collectively and under the guidance of multiple medical professionals, motivated by love and compassion to support his emotional and psychological well-being.
They urged the media to respect the family’s privacy and avoid sensational reporting on the matter, describing it as a painful and private family issue. The family has requested empathy from the media and urged them to refrain from turning a private matter into salacious, inflammatory, and hurtful gossip.
The family dispute remains unresolved publicly, with both sides entrenched in their opposing accounts. Faissal Khan is currently living separately in Mumbai and has indicated his intention to take legal action. The statement in response to Faissal’s accusations did not address the specific allegations about confinement, medication, or the alleged diagnosis.
This family feud reflects complex personal, medical, and legal issues spanning two decades and continues to be a topic of interest and concern for many.
Faissal Khan's allegations against his family have brought attention to the impact of these events on his health and career, as he claims they affected his personal and professional life significantly. In respond to these accusations, Aamir Khan and his family emphasized their concern for Faissal's health, stating that all decisions regarding him were made collectively under the guidance of multiple medical professionals, motivated by love and compassion to support his emotional and psychological well-being.
