Faissal Khan, an actor and brother of superstar Aamir Khan, has officially cut all relations with his family. This is a dramatic turn in a long-running family battle. The announcement comes after Faissal made a number of shocking claims against his brother at a recent press appearance. The Aamir Khan family has openly denied these claims.
Faissal said in a statement that he had “severed all family ties” and would no longer accept a monthly stipend from his brother. He said this with a “heavy heart” in a public announcement and on Instagram. “This step, even though it’s hard, is necessary for my healing and growth.” “Life now begins a new chapter of freedom, dignity, and self-discovery,” he wrote.
Faissal repeated his earlier assertions that he had been forcibly medicated and locked up during his press conference. He also made new, serious accusations against Aamir. Faissal said, “Aamir’s marriage to Reena was hurt, and he was dating Jessica, with whom he also has a child out of wedlock.”
Aamir Khan’s family released a public statement signed by many family members, including Aamir’s ex-wives Reena Datta and Kiran Rao and his children, in reaction to these charges. The statement called Faissal’s comments a “hurtful and misleading portrayal” of his family.
The statement said, “Since this is not the first time he has misrepresented these events, we feel it is necessary to clarify our intentions and reaffirm our solidarity as a family.” The family stressed that “multiple medical professionals” have been consulted and that all decisions for Faissal’s health have been taken “collectively.”
They also talked about how private the family problem was and ended their statement by asking the media to be understanding. The statement ended with, “We ask the media to be understanding and not turn a private matter into scandalous, hurtful gossip.”
The brothers have been fighting in public since the early 2000s. In 2008, a court ruled that Faissal was mentally healthy, which went against what the family had said before. The way things are going now is a new and hard chapter in their relationship.
