Background
Faisal Khan's move comes days after Aamir Khan and his family reacted to his accusation of locking him up in the house in a recent episode of a podcast show.
During the Pinkvilla podcast show, Faisal Khan claimed, "Mujhe qaid kar ke rakha tha ghar mein ek saal (I was imprisoned at home for over a year) and they were saying I've got schizophrenia and I'm a mad person and I will harm society. JJ Hospital mein mujhe 20 din rakha gaya, test kiya gaya, general ward mein, mental logon ke saath (I was at JJ Hospital for 20 days, was tested in general ward, with 'mental' people)."
Following his statements, Aamir Khan's family said, "We are distressed by Faisal's hurtful and misleading portrayal of his mother Zeenat Tahir Husain, his sister Nikhat Hegde, and his brother Aamir. As this is not the first time he has misrepresented these events, we feel it necessary to clarify our intentions, and reaffirm our solidarity as a family."
"It is important to share that every choice regarding Faisal has been taken collectively as a family, in consultation with multiple medical professionals, and has been based on love, compassion, and a desire to support his emotional and psychological well being. For this reason, we have refrained from publicly discussing the details of a painful and difficult period for our family," they stated.
Requesting the media to judge the situation with empathy and sensitivity, the statement said, "We request the media for empathy, and to refrain from turning a private matter into salacious, inflammatory and hurtful gossip".
The statement was signed by a large number of family members, including Aamir's first wife Reena Datta, son Junaid Khan, daughter Ira Khan and other family members such as Farhat Datta, Rajiv Datta, Kiran Rao, Santosh Hegde, Seher Hegde, Mansoor Khan, Nuzhat Khan, Imran Khan, Tina Fonseca, Zayn Marie Khan, and Pablo Khan.
