Faisal Khan Claims His Family "Imprisoned" Him At Home Due To Schizophrenia
Aamir Khan's brother Faisal once again hit the headlines as he claimed publicly that he was "imprionsed" at home on a recent podcast show. Three years ago, Faisal said that he was "caged" at home as his family said he had got Schizophrenia. His recent remark prompted a response from Aamir Khan's family, issuing a public statement that he portrayed his family in a "misleading way."
What's Happening
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)."
This is not the first time Faisal has made such comment.
In 2022, Faisal said similar things during an interaction with ETimes. "Qaid hone mein mazaa nahin hai (there's no fun in being caged). I have been caged once in Aamir's house. I don't intend to get caged again. I want to live free and flow like water."
Faisal's response came when he was asked why he wouldn't be a part of Bigg Boss.
"In Bigg Boss, everyone is pitted against each other, they fight, argue and then you're also given tasks. They play with you mentally. I didn't want to get trapped in that zone. They give you some money but by Allah's grace I don't need much money. So, I thought why should I get caged? Who likes being caged? Everyone likes a free life. That's fun, you know," Faisal had said.
Faisal On His Equation With Aamir Khan
During the same ETimes interview in 2022, Faisal Khan shared about his equation with Aamir Khan.
Faisal had said, "Everything is okay between us. As an individual I take my own decisions. I am not a director who doesn't know what he has made. I have given my best and my producers have helped me with it."
Faisal Khan began his career as a child artiste in the 1969 film Pyar Ka Mausam, where he played the younger version of Shashi Kapoor. Later, he did a small role Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak, which starred Aamir Khan in the lead role. He and Aamir Khan worked as lead actors in Dharmesh Darshan's Mela (2000).

War 2 Hindi Advance Booking Update: Hrithik Roshan and Jr NTR's actioner sells 78,000 tickets in top chains for Thursday, with 1 days to go
War 2, directed by Ayan Mukerji, and starring Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR and Kiara Advani among others, continued with good bookings in India for the Hindi version. With the opening of bookings in the southern states, there was a significant increase in the film's momentum. With just one day to go, the actioner has sold 78,000 tickets in top chains like PVRInox and Cinepolis for the opening day, and the final count seems to be around 150,000-175,000 tickets. This sets the movie up for an opening day in the vicinity of Rs 30 crore, with a potential to reach Rs 35 crore net. War 2 Sells 78,000 Tickets In Top Chains With 1 Day To Go In Hindi; Gears Up For A Rs 30 Crore Plus Net Start; Telugu Bookings Start Well War 2 's bookings in Telugu states have started on a heartening note. Jr NTR fans have been aggressive with the bookings in the twin state. Obviously, the collections are not like a quintessential Tollywood movie because it is seen as a Bollywood film at the end of the day, limiting its potential. But, they are pretty solid. It will likely take the third biggest Bollywood opening for the Telugu dub, only behind Saaho and Adipurush. War 2 Will Aim For A Rs 50 Crore Plus Day 2 In Hindi War 2 will aim to smash Rs 50 crore plus net on Independence Day, for the Hindi version alone. All that the movie really requires is good reports to unleash its potential. The clash of War 2 with Coolie never felt like too big of an issue initially. However, Coolie has done extremely well to make inroads in markets where War 2 looked to be like the clear favourite. War 2's International Bookings So Far Are Strictly Ordinary War 2's international bookings so far are ordinary. A USD 2.5 million opening day and USD 8 million opening weekend is on the cards. The global opening weekend of War 2 looks to be in the Rs 300 - 350 crore range, as compared to Coolie, which is cruising towards Rs 400 crore. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates.
