Aamir Khan’s Brother Faisal Khan Opens Up About Being Tagged ‘Mental’

“I am not that close to anyone from the industry. There is no one who can bail me out”, said Aamir Khan’s younger brother Faisal Khan, who was once tagged as mental, and who is all set to start the second innings of his career with film Chinar Daastaan-E-Ishq, scheduled to hit the theatres on October 16. “I had to deal with the mental tag for a long time in my life when I faced problems with my family which thankfully are all resolved now. I went through a tough phase in my life during then”, the Mela actor told Indian Express in an interview.

Faisal says that it was tough to reach each and every person and convince them that he wasn’t mental. Now, the actor says that his work will speak louder than words. “Or else how could a mental person be acting in movies?”, he said. “I was also proved normal by the Court. Not many people are aware of that, the verdict says it all. It was a bad time when all these issues started doing the rounds. I have put all that behind me and today all of us in my family are together”, he revealed.

When the interviewer asked him if he ever tried seeking help from Aamir Khan, the actor said that he belongs to a celebrity family where people haven’t seen failure like him and hence “how will you guide others on the same?”. On being asked if they themselves ever tried looking into his grievances or help him with his career, the actor said “it is for you to see if your character and story is good. Then you see if the production house has the money to spend to make the film”.
