In a recent press conference and social media statement, Faissal accused Aamir of physically forcing him and sending him to doctors for a mental evaluation against his will.Faissal Khan describes a forceful incident with Aamir Khan in 2005The actor said, “Aamir caught me in a wrongful manner. In 2005, Aamir came with the police to his own house and threatened me. He said if I didn’t go to the psychiatrist, the doctor in the other room would give me an injection to make me unconscious and take me forcibly for a mental evaluation. I was shocked and asked Aamir why all this was necessary?. If he wanted a mental evaluation, he could have simply told me, and I would have gone. So, I went with the doctors. They took my phone, and I felt completely helpless under their control. Then the doctors said something that made me realize something bad was going to happen. That day I told them I am like an ant, but one day even an ant will bring down an elephant.”Faissal Khan announces severing ties with Aamir KhanIn a heartbreaking caption, Faissal shared on his Instagram, “With a heavy heart yet renewed courage, I wish to share that I have severed all family ties, as declared through a public notice.
