Faisal Khan accused his family of calling him ‘mad,’ forcing medication, and being locked up by Aamir Khan for a year. His family denied the claims, saying, “We are distressed by Faissal’s hurtful and misleading portrayal… We reaffirm our solidarity as a family,” and requested privacy, emphasising decisions were made with love and medical guidance.
Aamir Khan’s brother, actor Faisal Khan, recently made shocking claims in an interview, stating that his family called him ‘mad,’ diagnosed him with schizophrenia, forced him to take medication, and that Aamir locked him inside the house for an entire year, fearing he could harm society. Days later, Aamir’s family has now issued a statement denying Faisal’s claims and expressed how hurt they are by his ‘misinterpreted’ portrayal of his mother Zeenat Tahir Husain, his sister Nikhat Hegde, and Aamir himself.

“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,” they shared.
Aamir’s family requested the media to show empathy and avoid turning a private matter into salacious, inflammatory, and hurtful gossip.
