Aamir Khan and his family have issued a strong statement denying Faissal Khan’s recent allegations of mistreatment, calling them misleading. They clarified all decisions were made with love and medical advice, urging the media to respect their privacy and avoid turning personal matters into sensational gossip.
Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan and his family have issued a strong and detailed statement after his brother, actor Faissal Khan, made serious allegations against them, accusing the family of destroying his physical, mental, and financial health. The public response from the Khans comes in the wake of Faissal’s recent interview with a digital platform where he leveled multiple claims, including being forcibly confined and medicated.
Faissal Khan’s Allegations
In his recent interaction, Faissal Khan alleged that Aamir Khan had kept him locked inside his residence for an entire year. He claimed that during this period, he was administered medication against his will and was told that he was suffering from paranoid schizophrenia.
Faissal further stated that his mother, Zeenat Tahir Husain, and sister, Nikhat Hegde, filed a case against him, claiming he was a danger to society due to his alleged mental health condition. He also blamed certain close relatives for creating a rift between him and Aamir, suggesting that his brother had been “brainwashed” into distancing himself.
The ‘Mela’ actor, who has been absent from mainstream cinema for years, is currently living separately in Mumbai. According to his account, his departure from the family home was triggered by escalating conflicts with his mother and brother.
Aamir Khan Family’s Official Response
In response to these serious accusations, Aamir Khan, along with other family members, released an official statement expressing deep distress over what they termed as a “hurtful and misleading” portrayal of the family, particularly of his mother, sister, and himself.
“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,” the statement read.
The Khans emphasized that every decision concerning Faissal was taken collectively, in consultation with multiple medical professionals, and with the aim of ensuring his emotional and psychological well-being. They underscored that love and compassion had guided their actions during what they described as a “painful and difficult period” for the entire family.
“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 statement continued.
Appeal to the Media
In their joint note, the family appealed to the media to handle the matter with empathy and sensitivity, urging journalists and online platforms not to turn a deeply personal and challenging family situation into “salacious, inflammatory, and hurtful gossip.”
The statement was signed by a long list of family members, showing a united front: 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.
A Family Rift in the Public Eye
This is not the first time Faissal Khan has publicly spoken about tensions with his family. His strained relationship with Aamir Khan has been a recurring topic over the years, often making headlines due to the personal nature of the disputes. While Faissal has previously accused his family of mistreatment and control, the Khans have largely refrained from public confrontations, citing the private nature of the matter.
However, the latest round of allegations appears to have crossed a threshold, prompting the family to break their silence and release a rare, detailed clarification.
Looking Ahead
While Faissal Khan continues to live independently in Mumbai, the public and media attention on this matter remains intense. The family’s official response highlights the delicate balance between addressing misinformation and maintaining personal privacy, especially when mental health issues are involved.

Whether this statement will lead to a de-escalation of public disputes remains uncertain. What is clear is that the Khan family is intent on presenting a unified stance, despite internal differences, and hopes to keep further discussions out of the public domain.
