Aamir Khan's brother Faissal Khan issues statement on ending ties with family, 'I shall not be known as...'

Aamir Khan’s brother Faissal Khan who was seen in the movie Mela has issued a statement stating that he is ending all his ties with his family. He said he does not wish to keep any connection with Aamir Khan or any of the other family members. In a recent interview, Faissal Khan spoke about how Mela kept on getting delayed due to differences between Aamir Khan and Dharmesh Darshan. The two had delivered the superhit Raja Hindustani in 1999. After the debacle of Madhosh, Faissal Khan was keen to make a fresh start with Mela. It seems he took acting lessons and even learnt to sing so that he could open up his voice.

Faissal Khan said that he lives in one of the apartments owned by Aamir Khan’s family in the Pali Hill complex. It seems Aamir Khan gives him a paid allowance every month. The press statement has come on Bollywood Bubble. It read: "I, Faissal Khan, have from the date hereof severed all ties, familial as well as in estate, with my family members, the names whereof are more particularly described in the Schedule hereunder written. All persons are required to take note that on and from the date hereof I shall not be known as forming part of the family of my late father Tahir Husain or my mother Zeenat Tahir Husain, and/or any other family member more particularly described in the Schedule hereunder written, and I shall not be entitled to any rights arising out of the estate of either of them or liable for any liability arising out of the estate of either of them."

All persons are required to take note that on and from the date hereof I shall not be known as forming part of the family of my late father Tahir Husain or my mother Zeenat Tahir Husain, and/or any other family member more particularly described in the Schedule hereunder written, and I shall not be entitled to any rights arising out of the estate of either of them or liable for any liability arising out of the estate of either of them.

Aamir Khan’s family has issued a statement that what Faissal Khan has said is hurtful and misleading. However, they said whatever they did for him was after consultation with expert healthcare professionals. Faissal Khan said that he was kept locked in a room for a year after being told that he had schizophrenia and could be dangerous for those around him.
