Family of Aamir Khan releases statement in response to Faissal Khan's accusations, deemed "hurtful" and "misleading" by the Khan family.
In a shocking turn of events, Aamir Khan's brother, Faissal Khan, has made serious allegations against the actor and their family. Faissal claims that he was locked up in Aamir's Mumbai home for over a year, kept under house arrest, force-fed unwanted medications, and defamed as mentally ill by the family[1][2][4][5].
Faissal has accused the family of labeling him schizophrenic and spreading rumors about his mental health since around 2005. He alleges the family pressured him to give up his signatory rights and has jeopardized his personal and professional life[2][4][5].
In response, Aamir Khan and several family members, including Reena Datta, Junaid Khan, Ira Khan, Farhat Datta, Rajiv Datta, Kiran Rao, Santosh Hegde, Seher Hegde, Mansoor Khan, Nuzhat Khan, Imran Khan, Tina Fonseca, Zayn Marie Khan, and Pablo Khan, issued an official statement on Friday[3]. The family described Faissal's claims as "hurtful and misleading," emphasizing that all decisions regarding Faissal were made collectively, based on advice from multiple medical professionals, motivated by care, love, and a desire to support his emotional and psychological well-being.
The family requested the media for empathy and asked them not to turn the matter into gossip. They acknowledged the painful nature of the situation but stood by their actions as protective rather than abusive[3]. The statement did not address the specifics of Faissal's claims.
During the time Faissal was confined, it is alleged that his phone was taken away, and bodyguards were stationed outside his room[4]. However, the family's statement did not confirm or deny these allegations.
Aamir Khan allowed Faissal to move to another house after a year, marking the end of Faissal's confinement. Faissal has publicly cut ties with Aamir and their family and plans to pursue legal action to address these disputes[2][4][5].
This private family matter has now become public, with Faissal's allegations causing a stir in the media. The family's statement was a clarification of their intentions and a reaffirmation of their solidarity as a family. They called Faissal's allegations "hurtful and misleading" and asked for privacy and understanding during this difficult time.

Despite the family's denial, Faissal Khan's claims of being confined in Aamir Khan's Mumbai home and being labeled mentally ill by the family have sparked discussions about celebrity behavior and the impact it may have on entertainment. The ongoing legal battle between the two parties could potentially deter celebrities from involving themselves in personal matters that may harm their public image and tarnish their reputation in the entertainment industry.
