For this reason, we have refrained from publicly discussing the details of a painful and difficult period for our family," they stated.

Faisal Khan claims brother Aamir Khan locked him up citing schizophrenia: ‘Mujhe qaid kar ke rakha tha ghar mein ek saal'
Faisal Khan, known for his role in Mela, has opened up about his strained relationship with brother Aamir Khan. In an interview with Pinkvilla, Faisal alleged that his family kept him confined at home for a year, claiming he had schizophrenia and unstable behaviour. '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 the 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), he told the host. Schizophrenia is a psychiatric illness with a range of symptoms that vary among individuals and over the course of the illness. Akanksha Pandey, consultant clinical psychologist at Fortis Hospital, Bengaluru, listed some common signs: However, she also said not every person with schizophrenia experiences all these symptoms. Pandey stressed that schizophrenia requires prompt psychiatric management, with diagnosis carried out through standardised interviews and screening tools. Unlike infections such as malaria or typhoid, schizophrenia has no cure. 'The goal of management is symptom resolution and preventing relapse. The earlier the intervention and the shorter the duration of untreated psychosis, the better the outcome,' she said. A post shared by Pinkvilla Lifestyle (@pinkvillalifestyle) According to Pandey, regular treatment and adherence to medication allow individuals with schizophrenia to live normal, fulfilling lives — including studying, working, building relationships, and even marrying. 'People afflicted with Schizophrenia exhibit aggression mostly secondary to hallucinations (hearing voices speaking about them, threatening them or commanding them), delusions (persecutory in nature) and distorted ego boundaries which impairs their judgment about reality,' Pandey said, adding that while such people are not dangerous to society, they could potentially harm themselves or others — both known and unknown as a consequence of their abnormal psychic experiences. Due to widespread misconceptions, the public often perceives them as a threat because of socially inappropriate behaviour. Pandey cautioned against calling them 'mad' or 'mentally unstable' as it reinforces stigma. 'It is preferable not to be aggressive towards them, call them names, or openly criticise them. An empathetic approach is far more effective,' she said.

Aamir Khan's Brother Faisal Recalls Family Fallout: 'Aamir Took Control Of My Financial Decisions'
Last Updated: Faisal Khan alleges being confined for a year in Aamir Khan's house, forcibly medicated and cut off from the outside world. Actor Faisal Khan, younger brother of Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan, recently shared harrowing details about a dark chapter in his life. In a candid interview with Pinkvilla, Faisal revealed that he was locked up in Aamir's house for an entire year and forcibly given medication under the pretext that he was suffering from paranoid schizophrenia. 'They locked me up in Aamir's house for a year, forcibly giving me medication. They claimed I had schizophrenia and was a danger to society," Faisal disclosed. He described the experience as being trapped in a 'chakravyuh', a complex maze, with his entire family against him. Faisal said this mental trauma led him to distance himself from his relatives, who reportedly controlled his freedom and medical treatment. Faisal Khan Makes Shocking Family Allegations Faisal revealed that the medication severely affected his physical health, causing him to gain weight up to 103 kgs. 'The medications made me gain weight… because they were unnecessary and harmful," he said, highlighting how difficult it became for him to sustain a career in the film industry under such conditions. The actor also made a startling claim against his brother, Aamir Khan, accusing him of imprisoning him inside the house, controlling all his financial and legal affairs, and isolating him from family and friends. 'Aamir took control of all my financial and legal decisions… I wasn't allowed outside. A bodyguard was stationed outside my room," Faisal stated. He further revealed that his mother and sister filed a case declaring him a danger to society, which led to police involvement. Who Is Faisal Khan? Faisal Khan is an Indian actor and the younger brother of Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan. He began his career as a child actor and is best known for his performances in Madhosh (1994) and Mela (2000), where he portrayed the character Shankar Shane. Despite early promise, Faisal's career faced challenges due to box office disappointments and a widely publicised family dispute with Aamir during 2007–2008.

Al-Nassr Club Company Redefines Fan Engagement with Hewlett Packard Enterprise - Middle East Business News and Information
Al-Nassr Club Company Redefines Fan Engagement with Hewlett Packard Enterprise Being at the forefront of Saudi Arabia's footballing ambitions, Al-Nassr Club Company, one of the leading football clubs in the Kingdom, is working with Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) to transform its stadium, training, medical, media, and fan facilities – and thereby the way fans engage with football. Key to this experience is a comprehensive end-to-end solution, built on HPE Aruba Networking, that establishes a coherent, performance-focused and secure network infrastructure. Throughout the past few years, Al-Nassr has become the most-followed team by football fans outside Saudi Arabia. Aware that not everyone who watches an Al-Nassr match will be able to travel to Saudi Arabia to attend games, and that more than 60 million fans follow their games, Al-Nassr wants to redefine the fan experience with more content, more behind-the-scenes footage, and greater access to star players. To drive digital content, Al-Nassr is creating a digital sports campus, creating a wireless-first environment engaging both fans within and outside the stadium. 'We always have a minimum of 300–400 people connecting to the network on quiet days, however the number jumps to more than 10,000 on match days,' said Faisal Khan, director of IT at Al-Nassr. 'Simultaneously, we are filming throughout the week, across all parts of the organization. The fan engagement and content we provide goes beyond the match-day experience and with HPE Aruba Networking we are now able to scale and allocate different bandwidth, manage access rights for different user groups, and troubleshoot connectivity issues easily, all from the office.' The solution deployed at the sports campus combines the capabilities of HPE Aruba Networking Central, HPE Aruba Networking CX switches, HPE Aruba Networking EdgeConnect SD-WAN, and HPE Aruba Networking Wi-Fi 7 wireless access points. This allows the club's IT team to closely manage the various fan engagement points, keep sensitive biometric data of players secure, and quickly provide connectivity to new parts of the campus. The club manages connectivity for 20 buildings, including warehousing and retail outlets, with more stores and branch offices expected as the club expands its operations. By using HPE Aruba Networking EdgeConnect SD-WAN, the club can use multiple connections to provide high availability and resilience, even in times of high use. This increases performance by link-binding and maximizing the use of available bandwidth, making it particularly valuable to the football club for critical applications, such as video live streaming matches. 'As Al-Nassr continues to realise and enhance its vision for fan engagement and data commercialization, it needs a robust and performance-focused networking infrastructure', said Jamil Ahmad, Country Business lead for Saudi Arabia at HPE Aruba Networking. 'By building a smart sports campus upon HPE Aruba Networking, Al-Nassr has unified and streamlined its networking operations, maximizing opportunities for content generation and simplifying the deployment of game-changing IoT. This includes the club's media streaming capabilities, that allow fans to not only watch video streams of games and player interviews from different parts of the world but also stream exclusive content on their smartphone within the stadium – creating a one-of-a-kind experience.'
