Faissal claims Aamir was with Jessica Hines while married to ReenaIn a press conference earlier this week, Faissal Khan accused Aamir of being in a relationship with Jessica while still married to Reena. He later moved on to live with Kiran. Now, in an interview with Hindustan Times, he went on to reveal, “Everyone knows that he has had a relationship with Jessica and he has a child. He can't deny that. You can do a DNA test. I have proof of everything that I am saying… It's not me who's just fabricating.”
Aamir and Reena married in 1986 and have two children, Ira and Junaid. They divorced in 2002.
Aamir’s divorce described as turning pointFaissal claimed he witnessed Aamir’s relationship struggles. He added, “I was there around when his relationship was not working with Reena. They got divorced and then he went into his work. I was also struggling with my work.”
Faissal Khan further explained, “Around the time of his divorce, Aamir had started his production company, Aamir Khan Productions, with the film 'Lagaan'. He was involved with his work a lot, and Reena was also helping him in the front. I could see his relationship going bad and with everything was happening with Reena, but I couldn't help it. That was his decision. He had to live his life.”
Faissal also explained that Aamir’s divorce caused him personal distress. “I was like why are you telling me to get married again,” he said.
Faissal accuses Aamir of hiding realityFaissal also criticised Aamir’s public image, claiming it does not match reality. “He is trying to create a clean image for the audience, but you can find out his image by him having so many relationships with women and all that… He likes to whitewash his image which is not the reality,” he said
