Aamir Khan’s family has called Faissal Khan’s recent remarks “hurtful and misleading,” clarifying that all decisions about him were made collectively.
Aamir Khan’s family has released a statement addressing Faissal Khan’s recent remarks, calling them “hurtful and misleading.”
In response to recent remarks made by Faissal Khan, Aamir Khan’s family has released a public statement expressing distress over what they describe as “hurtful and misleading” portrayals of family members, including Aamir’s mother Zeenat Tahir Husain, his sister Nikhat Hegde, and Aamir himself.
The statement, issued collectively by members of the extended Khan family, comes after Faissal’s comments in which he recalled personal incidents involving his family. The family noted that this is “not the first time” he has misrepresented events, prompting them to clarify their position and reaffirm their unity.
“We are distressed by Faissal’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,” the statement read.
The family emphasised that every decision regarding Faissal has been made collectively, in consultation with multiple medical professionals, and always with his wellbeing in mind.
“It is important to share that every choice regarding Faissal 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 wellbeing. For this reason, we have refrained from publicly discussing the details of a painful and difficult period for our family,” they stated.
Urging the media to handle the matter with sensitivity, the family appealed to journalists and publications not to sensationalise or exploit the situation.
“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 Reena Datta, Junaid Khan, Ira Khan, Farhat Datta, Rajiv Datta, Kiran Rao, Santosh Hegde, Seher Hegde, Mansoor Khan, Nuzhat Khan, Imran Khan, Tina Fonseca, Zayn Marie Khan, and Pablo Khan.
This appeal comes amid heightened public and media interest following Faissal Khan’s recent interviews. While the family has largely refrained from addressing the matter in the past, this marks one of the rare occasions they have issued a public clarification, choosing to stress unity, compassion, and privacy over further confrontation.
