Ahead of Aamir Khan‘s reported wedding, his brother Faissal Khan has issued a public apology to the actor and their family, months after making serious allegations against them. Faissal admitted that speaking against his loved ones publicly was a mistake and said he now prioritises family harmony over past grievances.
Faissal Khan’s public apology
During a candid conversation with Ujjwal Trivedi, Faissal Khan openly acknowledged his mistakes for the first time since his relationship with Aamir Khan became estranged. He revealed that he had apologised to his mother, brother Aamir, sister Nikhat and brother-in-law Santosh Hegde for the allegations he made publicly.He said, “I want to first apologise to my mother. I want to apologise to Nikhat. I want to apologise to Santosh. I also apologise to Aamir. In anger and pain, I said many things that I should never have said.”Faissal also admitted that criticising his family in public was one of his biggest mistakes, adding that such issues should have been resolved privately rather than in front of the media.Faissal shared that he is no longer interested in proving who was right or wrong. Instead, he said he values peace and harmony with his family far more than establishing the truth. He credited reading the Quran for inspiring him to reconnect with his loved ones and reinforcing the importance of family bonds.
The turning point and reconciliation
Recalling the moment that changed things, Faissal Khan said he realised he had distanced himself from his family and decided to take the first step towards reconciliation. When he called his sister Nikhat, she answered immediately. He later learned that his mother had been missing him, which moved him deeply, prompting him to fly to Mumbai the very next day to meet his family.Faissal revealed that he apologised to his mother in person and later met Aamir Khan to seek forgiveness for airing family matters publicly. According to him, after years of misunderstanding, his family welcomed him back with love, bringing an end to long-standing grievances. He added that he now hopes his family will trust and understand him going forward, saying life is too short to hold on to past conflicts.
