Aamir Khan's Brother Faissal Khan: "I was forcefully given medicines"

Actor Faissal Khan better known as Aamir Khan's brother in his recent interview with  Bollywood Hungama, made some shocking revelations about his family. The Mela actor who forayed into movies in 1994 with Madhosh, said, "When the family felt that I was depressed and had paranoid schizophrenia, they kept me under house arrest for one year and gave me forceful medication. It is illegal but I was taking all this quietly because I thought that the family will realise at some point, that if I am mad, I will show it in some way. I thought I should be patient till they come to their senses that they are troubling me for no reason.”

Faissal said that he underwent a mental evaluation at JJ Hospital for 20 days, after which he was declared of sound mind and mentally healthy. "I was given wrong medication for one year, which was very unfair on the family’s part," he said. The actor further revealed that it was after his family asked him to give up his signatory rights, he decided to stand up for himself and moved court. In his interview, he recalled an incident at Aamir's 50th birthday bash, where he claimed that he was insulted by Karan Johar. Faissal also talked about the ongoing insider-outsider debate and the public anger towards nepotism. The debate has been reignited after the tragic death of Sushant Singh Rajput. "It's not like there are no opportunities for outsiders. In fact, many actors have come from outside – Shah Rukh (Khan), Akshay (Kumar), Ayushmann Khurrana, Rajkummar Rao, and of course, Sushant Singh Rajput. He was not from the industry. So, many actors and actresses have also come from outside," he said. Faissal Khan is now geared up to make a comeback, this time both as an actor and a debutant director with his new film Faactory.
