Aamir Khan and his father Tahir Hussain have finally bridged their differences after a nasty legal battle that isolated Aamir from his brother. You may remember Faisal Khan, 41, who suffers from periodic lapses into schizo-affective psychosis, recently ran away from Aamir’s house and had the Khans worrying sick about his disappearance.
However, much to their surprise, Faisal teamed up with his father and launched a public attack on Aamir. Their shocking allegations provoked a ferocious legal battle which resulted in a court granting custody to Tahir Hussian.
A week before Aamir’s directional winner Taare Zameen Par was set to release, his father found himself eating his words. Knowing where his bread and butter lay, the man quickly sent Faisal packing to Aamir’s house.
“That’s a thing of the past now. I agree that there were certain misunderstandings but not anymore. We are all one now. I love all my children equally and I am proud of the fact that Aamir has worked hard for his success and deserves all his achievements,” said Tahir.
Glad to have his father back in his life, the Bollywood superstar arranged a special screening of Taare Zameen Par for his father.
Asked to comment on the film, Tahir says: “It’s a very sensitive film and it makes you cry and it makes you laugh. The child protagonist is very good and the subject has been handled very sensibly.”
“Aamir, as usual, was very good in the film but even the other actors have played their part very well. I told Aamir that I am very proud of him. Now Aamir should direct another big film. I am always with him. We only want our family to be together always.”
Translation: I am thrilled to have my meal ticket back!
