Actor Faissal Khan and the younger brother of Aamir Khan, recently made serious claims about his family. In an interview, he said that a few years ago, Aamir locked him inside his Mumbai home for over a year, took away his phone, posted bodyguards outside his room and gave him medicines saying he had schizophrenia. Faissal described it as a “chakravyuh” where he felt trapped with the whole family allegedly against him.
On August 10, Aamir Khan’s family issued a public statement addressing these remarks. This was the first time they openly responded to such claims.
The statement read, “We are distressed by Faissal’s hurtful and misleading portrayal of his mother Zeenat Tahir Husain, his sister Nikhat Hegde, and his brother Aamir. As this is not the first time he has misrepresented these events, we feel it necessary to clarify our intentions and reaffirm our solidarity as a family.”
It further added, ““It is important to share that every choice regarding Faissal has been taken collectively as a family, in consultation with multiple medical professionals, and has been based on love, compassion, and a desire to support his emotional and psychological wellbeing. For this reason, we have refrained from publicly discussing the details of a painful and difficult period for our family.”
The family ended by asking for empathy, “We request the media for empathy, and to refrain from turning a private matter into salacious, inflammatory and hurtful gossip.”
Faissal and Aamir’s strained relationship has been in the public eye before but this new exchange has brought it back into focus. While Faissal stands by his claims, the family insists their actions came from care and concern.
