Bollywood’s Mr. Perfectionist, Aamir Khan, finds himself at the center of a fresh wave of serious accusations. His younger brother, Faissal Khan, has spoken out once more against their family. This isn’t the first time Faissal has made headlines for family drama. His life has often been more about personal struggles than his acting career.
Mohammad Faissal Hussain Khan, known to many as Faissal Khan, has had a difficult journey in the entertainment world. While his famous brother achieved massive success, Faissal’s path has been much tougher. He hasn’t found the same fame in acting. Instead, his private life has seen many ups and downs.
Faissal’s Tumultuous Journey in Cinema
Faissal Khan was born in Mumbai on August 3, 1966. He comes from a prominent film family. His father, Tahir Hussain, was a film producer. His uncle, Nasir Hussain, was a renowned director. Faissal even started acting as a child. He played the young Shashi Kapoor in the 1969 film ‘Pyar Ka Mausam’.
His adult film debut came in 1988. He had a small villain role in his brother Aamir Khan’s hit film ‘Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak’. Then, in 1994, he got his first lead role in ‘Madhosh’. Sadly, that movie didn’t do well. In 2000, he worked with Aamir in ‘Mela’. While the film flopped at the box office, Faissal’s acting skills did receive praise. After ‘Mela’, his career slowly faded away.
When mainstream films weren’t an option, Faissal tried his hand at B-grade movies. Even there, success stayed out of reach. He appeared in films like ‘Chand Bujh Gaya’, ‘Kaboo’, ‘Raaj Basti’, and ‘Chinar Dastaan-e-Ishq’. He also worked on the TV serial ‘Aandhi’. After a long break, he returned in 2021 with the film ‘Factory’. For this project, he took on roles as a director and a singer.
A History of Personal Battles and Family Claims
Faissal Khan’s personal life has often been full of controversy. In 2007, he made headlines when he suddenly went missing for two days. When he was found, he made shocking accusations. He claimed that Aamir Khan had forcibly locked him up at home. Faissal said his brother claimed he was mentally ill. The matter even went to court. Eventually, Faissal’s father, Tahir Hussain, was given his custody.
Years later, Faissal is once again making strong accusations against his family. In a recent interview, he stated that his own family members have gone through many marriages and divorces. Yet, he claims he lacks the freedom to make his own life choices. He openly stated that Aamir Khan had an affair with a British journalist named Jessica Hines. He further claimed they even have an illegitimate child together. Faissal also alleged that his family wanted to prove he was mentally unwell. He also said they forcibly gave him drugs.
The ‘Koffee With Karan’ Connection
These claims bring to mind past reports. A 2005 ‘Stardust’ report spoke about Aamir Khan’s private life. It mentioned his alleged affair with British journalist Jessica and a child. Later, on Karan Johar’s show ‘Koffee With Karan’, Aamir Khan himself admitted something interesting. He said he had cheated in relationships. He also admitted to dating two people at the same time. While he never mentioned Jessica or a child on the show, his confession certainly added to the public’s curiosity about Faissal’s claims.
