Aamir Khan’s Brother Faisal claims ‘I was locked up’ Spark Concern

The Bollywood world is buzzing once again about the family of superstar Aamir Khan, as his brother, Faisal Khan, has recently spoken out with some very serious claims. Faisal has made strong accusations against his family, including his famous brother, saying that he was kept locked inside their home for about a year. He even claimed they tried to explain this by saying he had a mental health condition called schizophrenia.

Faisal’s Shocking Claims

In a recent chat with Pinkvilla, Faisal shared his side of the story very directly. He stated, “Mujhe qaid kar ke rakha tha ghar mein ek saal (I was imprisoned at home for over a year) and they were saying I’ve got schizophrenia and I’m a mad person and I will harm society”. He went on to describe being held at JJ Hospital for a period, saying, “JJ Hospital mein mujhe 20 din rakha gaya, test kiya gaya, general ward mein, mental logon ke saath (I was at JJ Hospital for 20 days, was tested in general ward, with ‘mental’ people)”. Faisal also shared that he blames his entire family for his current situation.

The Family Responds with Deep Hurt

Faisal’s claims have deeply affected his family. Shortly after his interview, Aamir Khan’s family released an official statement to address the situation. They expressed that they were “distressed by Faissal’s hurtful and misleading portrayal” of his mother Zeenat Tahir Husain, his sister Nikhat Hegde, and his brother Aamir Khan.

The family pointed out that this isn’t the first time Faisal has “misrepresented these events”. They wanted to make their true intentions clear and show their unity as a family.

Decisions Made with Care and Professional Advice

The family strongly denied any wrongdoing, stating very clearly that “every choice regarding Faissal has been taken collectively as a family, in consultation with multiple medical professionals”. They emphasized that their only aim was, and always has been, to make sure Faisal was emotionally and psychologically healthy. This suggests that any decisions made were based on professional medical advice and a shared family concern for his well-being.

The statement expressing these feelings was signed by many family members, including Reena Datta, Junaid Khan, and Ira Khan, among others. This shows a united front from the family in response to Faisal’s public accusations.

A Long-Standing Strained Relationship

This isn’t a new issue for the Khan family. The article highlights that this controversy has once again brought to light the “strained relationship between Faisal Khan and his family”. It notes that this tension has occasionally become public over the years. It seems this recent interview is another chapter in a long-running, complicated family dynamic.

This ongoing situation reminds us that even famous families face deeply personal challenges, and differing perspectives can lead to very public discussions. The family hopes to reaffirm their bond and clarify their actions, while Faisal continues to share his experiences.
