Aamir Khan's brother Faisal on family dispute: 'Was under house arrest, forced medication'

Aamir Khan’s brother recently opened up about his family mistreating him and forcefully giving him medications. In an interview with Bollywood Hungama, Faisal Khan spoke about his family considering him depressed and keeping him under house arrest. He said that when his family felt that he was depressed and had paranoid schizophrenia, they kept him under house arrest for one year and gave him forceful medication.

Faisal Khan mentioned that he quietly took all the medications even after knowing that it is illegal as he wanted his family to realise that if he would have been suffering from a disease and that he will show it in some way. Furthermore, he mentioned that he thought he should be patient until his family members come to their senses that they are troubling him for no reason. Faisal Khan further stated that when he was asked by his family to give his signatory rights, he decided to safeguard himself and left the house.

He added that he fought with them in court and after several months, the Bandra metropolitan magistrate’s court ruled that he need not be in anyone’s custody and can live anywhere he wants. Faisal Khan further revealed that he underwent a mental evaluation at JJ Hospital for 20 days, after which he was declared of sound mind and mentally healthy. He said that he was given the wrong medication for one year, which was very unfair on the family’s part.
