Aamir Khan and his family have issued an official statement following serious allegations made by his brother, Faisal Khan.
Faisal recently claimed that he was confined to their home for over a year under the pretext of suffering from schizophrenia-accusations the family has firmly denied.
In a statement released to the media, the family expressed their distress over Faisal’s remarks, particularly his portrayal of their mother Zeenat Tahir Husain, sister Nikhat Hegde, and Aamir Khan himself. “We are distressed by Faissal’s hurtful and misleading portrayal of his mother Zeenat Tahir Husain, his sister Nikhat Hegde, and his brother Aamir (Khan). 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 note was jointly signed by several family members, including 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.
Refuting any suggestion of mistreatment or foul play, the family 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.”
Faisal Khan, in a recent interview with Pinkvilla, alleged, “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. 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 the general ward, with mentally ill patients).”
