Aamir Khan's Family Calls for Media Empathy Amid Brother Faisal's Controversial Claims

Aamir Khan and Family Request Media Sensitivity

New Delhi: Renowned Bollywood actor Aamir Khan, along with his family, has publicly appealed to the media to exercise empathy and avoid sensationalizing a personal family issue. This statement follows allegations made by Aamir's brother, Faisal Khan, who claimed mistreatment in a recent interview.

The family, including Aamir, Zeenat Tahir Husain, Junaid Khan, and others, collectively issued a statement expressing their distress over Faisal's comments, which they described as misleading and hurtful.

In their message, they urged the media to refrain from transforming a private matter into 'salacious, inflammatory, and hurtful gossip.' They specifically addressed Faisal's negative remarks about Aamir, their mother Zeenat, and sister Nikhat.

The statement highlighted their concern over Faisal's portrayal of family dynamics, emphasizing that this is not the first instance of misrepresentation. They felt it necessary to clarify their intentions and reaffirm their unity as a family.

This appeal comes shortly after Faisal's interview, where he accused Aamir of mistreatment, claiming he was confined for a year and suffered from schizophrenia.

Faisal also mentioned a 20-day hospitalization in a general ward with other individuals facing mental health challenges.

The family clarified that all decisions regarding Faisal were made collectively and with the guidance of medical professionals, emphasizing their commitment to his emotional and psychological well-being.

They stated, 'Every choice regarding Faisal 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.'

Faisal Khan, 58, is recognized for his role in the 2000 film 'Mela', which starred Aamir and Twinkle Khanna. He has also appeared in films like 'Border Hindustan Ka' and 'Basti', both released in 2003.
