Faissal Khan Discusses His Emotional Distress
In an interview with Pinkvilla, Faissal shared the unsettling ordeal, stating, "They confined me in Aamir’s residence for a year, forcibly administering medication. They asserted that I had schizophrenia and posed a threat to society. An entire environment was constructed to make me feel as though I was afflicted with paranoid schizophrenia. I constantly pondered how to escape this situation. It felt like a ‘chakravyuh’ (a labyrinth) and I was ensnared because my whole family was against me. They were convinced I was mentally ill, for reasons that remain unclear to me. That’s why I opted to separate myself from them. They held me captive and compelled me to take medication."

Faissal gained 103 kgs due to medication
Faissal additionally disclosed how the coerced medication adversely affected his health, "At that moment, I was merely trying to preserve my life. I kept questioning myself, how do I progress? How do I survive? Who will employ me? It’s challenging enough for an average person to find work in the industry, let alone someone in my situation. The medications caused me to gain weight, reaching 103 kgs, as they were unnecessary and detrimental."
Faissal accuses Aamir Khan of imprisoning him
The actor also made a startling claim, alleging that his brother, Aamir Khan, played a role in his house arrest, "I used to pray. Occasionally, I’d think perhaps my father would come to my aid. He was married to his second wife at that time and was distant from the family. However, I couldn’t contact him; I didn’t even have his number. Everyone was curious about my situation. The reality is, I was confined. Aamir had kept me locked in the house for a year. They confiscated my phone and everything else. I wasn’t permitted to go outside. A bodyguard was stationed outside my room. Aamir took charge of all my financial and legal matters. My mother and sister filed a lawsuit against me, claiming I was a threat to society and suffering from paranoid schizophrenia. That’s when the police became involved."```
