After actor Aamir Khan lost the legal custody of his younger brother Faisal to father Tahir Hussain, his wife, mother, sisters and the rest of the family have come out in his support against the statements made by Faisal and Tahir.
“As a family, we have always believed in maintaining our silence and dignity, choosing not to react to the many absurd allegations that are frequently hurled at Aamir. But this time, we feel the need to express our utter shock, disgust and contempt at the public statements of Tahir Husain and Faisal Khan,” they said in a statement issued.
“It is deeply distressing and saddening to see the depths to which Aamir’s father and brother have sunk, with the intention of causing hurt to him. Their offensive allegations, malicious lies and pathetic behaviour are truly shameful,” the statement further says.
“Their behaviour is all the more appalling given that Aamir has supported both his father and brother in every way possible for the last fifteen years, and has on numerous occasions bailed them out of their various crisis,” the family states. “Unfortunately Aamir’s goodness has only earned him their envy and hatred,” they added.
“He has been the pillar of strength of our family, supporting and protecting us, and always doing the best for us,” the family says.
