Aamir Khan has always kept his personal life largely private. But recent revelations by his brother, Faissal Khan, have once again brought attention to a long-rumoured chapter involving British journalist Jessica Hines and a son named Jaan, allegedly born out of wedlock.
Aamir’s controversy
In 2005, Aamir faced one of the biggest controversies of his life. Stardust magazine reported that he was in a live-in relationship with Jessica. The report also claimed that the superstar had a child with Jessica, named Jaan, and that he had met her during the shoot of Ghulam.
Jessica’s decision to raise Jaan
The article also claimed that when Jessica discovered she was pregnant, Aamir allegedly refused to take responsibility and asked her to have an abortion. Jessica, however, decided to keep the child and raise him on her own. She gave birth to a son in the early 2000s and named him Jaan.
Marriage to William Talbot
According to The Times of India, Jessica confirmed that she married London-based businessman William Talbot in 2007. She shared that while she was in India working on Amitabh Bachchan’s book, William took care of her son, Jaan, and remained very supportive and protective of him.
Fans notice resemblance on Reddit
Two years ago, photos of Jessica’s son surfaced on Reddit, and fans noted his resemblance to Aamir. The Reddit user pointed out that back in 2005, Stardust magazine had reported Aamir’s alleged relationship with Jessica and that they had a son, named Jaan, whom Aamir never publicly acknowledged. The post also mentioned that Jaan had appeared in British Vogue, and after some research, the user shared his latest photos, noting that he bore a strong resemblance to Aamir.
Recently, Faissal held a press conference to explain why he had broken ties with his family. He said that his family had been pressuring him to get married, but he did not want them to decide his future. In a letter, he addressed each family member and pointed out their own personal issues.
Claims about Aamir’s affair and child
While discussing his family members’ shortcomings and failed relationships, Faissal also criticized Aamir. He claimed that the superstar had an affair with Jessica Hines while still married to Reena and that they had a child out of wedlock. Faissal further alleged that during that period, Aamir was living with his second wife, Kiran Rao, whom he later divorced in 2022.
