Aamir Khan and family responds to Faisal Khan after he accuses them of confinement

In a recent and deeply personal revelation, actor Faisal Khan has accused his family of confining him at home for a year, labelling him as mentally ill and claiming he was subjected to treatment against his will. After his statements have stirred significant media attention, a united response was issued by the Khan family. Aamir Khan, along with other family members, issued a heartfelt collective statement addressing Faisal’s accusations. Faisal was seen speaking to Pinkvilla wherein he said, “Mujhe qaid kar ke rakha tha ghar mein ek saal (I was confined in the house for a year) and they were saying I’ve got schizophrenia and I’m a mad person and I will harm society.
