'I Am Scared Of Him', Faisal Khan On Why He Maintains Distance From Brother Aamir Khan


Everyone knows that Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan is one talented actor that is unlike any other. He is that gem of the industry, who usually likes to stay out of the limelight and is never even seen attending award shows as he rather takes a back seat and focuses on making more content-driven cinema.

'Mr. Perfectionist' usually works really hard on choosing scripts wisely and unlike other Bollywood superstars, likes to be involved in a movie every two to three years. Well, while Aamir's showreel history is nothing short of amazing, his personal life somehow has been called into question quite a number of times.

One of the biggest personal controversies that he has been involved in is his relationship with his brother, Faisal Khan.

For those who don't know, Faisal had starred with Aamir in the 2000 Bollywood film Mela that had Twinkle Khanna on board as well.

Now, while the movie tanked at the box office, taking Faisal's Bollywood career right down with it, one would feel that everything would still be hunky-dory at home between the Khan brothers. Well, no. Not at all.

A few years ago, Faisal had been involved in a legal tussle with brother Aamir and family after they allegedly kept him 'under house arrest' for a year because they felt he was 'depressed and suffered from paranoid schizophrenia. Faissal, who left home right after it, in an interview with Navbharat Times, said, "I was going through that phase with my family, and then one day, Aamir called to say that he wanted my signatory rights because I am mad and can't take care of myself. So I was told to declare before a judge that I am incapable of taking care of myself. I couldn't understand why. So that's when I decided to leave home."

According to reports, Faisal had then undergone a mental evaluation at JJ Hospital for a period of 20 days, after which he was declared of sound mind by the judge. Now, moving on from the incident, he says that while he has now forgiven Aamir for what happened, he still cannot forget the incident and therefore likes to keep a distance from the family.

"Such a big incident happened to me, so I can forgive him, but I can't forget what happened. I talk to my family on the phone, I wish them on birthdays and on Eid, but there is a distance. There is also a fear, because of what they did in the past. I would like to maintain a distance. I won't lie, there is a barrier between us, but it's better to maintain this distance. I hold nothing against them, I wish them the best, but I don't want to cross certain lines, because I have my own dignity to protect." he said.

Faisal is currently looking to ignite his acting career with a film called Faactory, which has been directed by him too.
