Faissal Khan relates to Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Animal starring Ranbir Kapoor: 'I went through something similar with my sister and brother-in-law'

Family bonds can be a source of strength, but for Faissal Khan, they’ve often been a battleground. At a recent press conference, the actor found echoes of his own struggles in Ranbir Kapoor’s Animal, using the film’s raw portrayal of relationships to reflect on his fractured ties with his brother Aamir Khan and the wider family.

Drawing parallels with Animal

At a recent press conference, Faissal drew parallels between his personal life and Ranbir Kapoor’s Animal. Praising director Sandeep Reddy Vanga, he said, "I salute Sandeep Reddy Vanga for showing today’s relationships so accurately. The way the elder sister and brother-in-law are shown in the film felt very real to me. I could relate to it because I went through something similar with my own sister and brother-in-law. He has portrayed everything very well. If you haven’t seen the film yet, I suggest you watch it."



His remarks come in the midst of his ongoing feud with brother Aamir Khan, where Faissal has been openly voicing grievances about family disputes and personal struggles.

Long history of allegations

This isn’t Faissal’s first public airing of grievances. In interviews, he has accused Aamir Khan and family members of confinement, forced medication, and mischaracterizing him as mentally unstable—claims the family has repeatedly denied. Faissal’s latest move, announcing via a public notice that he is cutting off all familial and estate ties, marked a painful new chapter in a long-simmering feud.

Family issues rare joint statement

In a rare joint statement, Aamir and the entire family described Faissal’s comments as “hurtful and misleading,” emphasizing that every decision made regarding him was taken collectively—with professional medical guidance and compassion for his well-being. They urged the media and public to treat the family’s private struggles with care, refusing to let it be turned into sensational gossip. . The statement was signed by families spanning several generations and branches, including Aamir’s children, ex-spouses, and extended relatives.
