It further stated, "It is important to share that every choice regarding Faissal has been taken collectively as a family, in consultation with multiple medical professionals, and has been based on love, compassion, and a desire to support his emotional and psychological wellbeing. For this reason, we have refrained from publicly discussing the details of a painful and difficult period for our family."

Mentioning the names of the family involved, they wrote, "Family Members: Reena Datta, Junaid Khan, Ira Khan, Farhat Datta, Rajiv Datta, Kiran Rao, Santosh Hegde, Seher Hegde, Mansoor Khan, Nuzhat Khan, Imran Khan, Tina Fonseca, Zayn Marie Khan, Pablo Khan."

Faissal Khan`s statements

In an earlier interview with Pinkvilla, Faissal shared that his family claimed he had schizophrenia, and that he was `a mad person and can harm society`. He went on to claim that a few years ago, Aamir Khan had even locked him up for over a year at his home in Mumbai.

He said, "They were saying I`ve got schizophrenia and I`m a mad person. I can harm society. Ye sab baatein ho rahi thi (All this was being talked about). I was looking at myself ki yaar main iss chakravyuh se kaise niklu. Chakravyuh ho gaya tha mere liye. Main usme fass gaya tha kyunki saari family mere khilaaf jaa rahi thi. Mujhe pagal samjh rahe the (How do I get out of this trap? It was a trap for me. I was stuck in it because my family was against me. They were thinking I`m mad).”

Faissal Khan revealed that he would pray for help, hoping his father would come to his rescue, who was then married to his second wife. "He was away from family politics. Lekin unn tak main pahuchu kaise? Unka number bhi nahi tha mere pass. Aur Aamir ne mujhe qaid kar diya tha ghar me ek saal. Mobile le liya, main bahar nahi jaa sakta. Bodyguard mere room ke bahar. Dawaiyan de rahe hain (How do I reach him? I didn`t have his number. And Aamir had locked me inside the house for a year. My phone was taken, I couldn`t go out. There were bodyguards outside my room. I was given medicine),” he added. Faissal stated that after a year, upon insisting, Aamir let him move to another house.
