Faisal Khan – Brother

Faisal Khan is the brother of Aamir Khan. He acted in few movies unlike his brother Aamir, who is a superstar!

Faisal played Shashi Kapoor’srole as a child in the film PyaarKaMausam in 1969.  In 1988, he played a minor role as a villain in his brother Aamir’s film Qayamat Se QayamatTak. He went on to play another bit part in his brother’s film Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar in the year 1992. He also acted in the movie Mela along with brother Aamir Khan and actress Twinkle Khanna.

He was diagnosed with a mental disorder. His brother Aamir and his father were in a custody battle over Faisal that garnered much press coverage. Faisal’s custody was awarded to his father Tahir in 2007 as he did not wish to go with his brother (Aamir).

But about a week later, Tahir submitted another application at the Metropolitan Magistrate’s court saying that he wants to withdraw the custody application of Faisal. Tahir said that he has not been able to get in touch with his son for over 15 days (during the court’s custody period of a month). After a month, Faisal was supposed to get a check-up done again at the JJ Hospital to determine his mental health.

After Tahir filed the application, the press finally started showing some restraint in reporting the developments as by then everybody had got the idea that Faisal needs to be taken care of. A lot of senior members of the press realised that Aamir was genuinely concerned about his brother.

However, Faisal again refused to go with his star brother and filed another application in the court saying that he wants to stay on his own. The court again granted him the permission and Faisal went to stay at a rented apartment at Tilak Nagar in Chembur.

Though the mainstream media by then had started to withdraw from reporting about Faisal, he continued to give out statements alleging that he is normal and his brother is trying to subdue him. But by then those statements had become less frequent.

About six months later, it was reported that Aamir was trying to reach out to his brother again. Faisal was living in Bandra East at that time and he too had realised that he needs Aamir back in his life.

Aamir and Faisal finally reconciled as the latter was spotted dropping onto the sets of 3 Idiots to check on his brother often. They appeared to be cordial with each other. It was already 2009 and towards the end of that year, Faisal moved back to Bella Vista with Aamir.
