Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan has once again found himself in the headlines, not for his films, but due to explosive claims made by his brother Faisal Khan. The sibling rivalry, which has been a subject of public debate for years, has now intensified with Faisal’s latest accusations.
Faisal recently resurfaced a decades-old controversy, alleging that Aamir had a relationship with British journalist Jessica Hynes back in the 1990s. He further claimed that the two had a child together, named John. According to Faisal, this relationship reportedly continued even when Aamir was married to his first wife, Reena Dutta, and later persisted during his second marriage with filmmaker Kiran Rao.
Although rumours of Aamir’s alleged connection with Jessica Hynes have occasionally circulated in the media, neither Aamir nor Jessica has ever addressed them publicly. Faisal’s revival of these allegations has once again placed the actor in an uncomfortable spotlight, raising questions about whether Aamir will choose to break his silence this time.
The strained relationship between the brothers is not new. Both acted together in the 2000 film Mela, but never collaborated again. Since then, reports have often suggested rifts within the family. Faisal has previously accused Aamir and other relatives of treating him unfairly, claiming that he was kept under house arrest and portrayed as mentally unstable. He has insisted that his family deliberately conspired against him, pushing the narrative that he was unwell.
Despite these controversies, Aamir Khan has largely maintained a dignified silence, preferring to focus on his work. Known as “Mr Perfectionist” in Bollywood, Aamir has consistently distanced himself from sensationalism, although Faisal’s repeated outbursts continue to attract media attention.
With these fresh allegations now doing the rounds, industry insiders and fans alike are watching closely to see whether Aamir will finally respond or continue to remain tight-lipped.
