Aamir Khan’s younger brother Faissal Khan, remembered for his role in Mela (2000), has once again stirred up controversy with sensational remarks Aamir. Speaking at a press meet on August 18, Faissal not only opened up about long standing family tensions but also alleged that Aamir had a past relationship with British writer Jessica Hines, with whom he reportedly fathered a child out of wedlock.
Recalling a time when his family pressured him to marry, Faissal revealed he reacted by penning a blunt letter that detailed the personal lives of his siblings. “When I was angry with my family, I wrote a letter. They used to tell me to get married; there was a lot of pressure. I wrote a letter, in which I wrote to every family member, ‘What are you?’ Nikhat, my sister, got married three times. Aamir was married, got divorced from Reena, and then he had a relationship with Jessica Hines, with whom he also has an illegitimate child, out of wedlock. So I wrote all that in the letter. He was living with Kiran at that time," Faissal alleged.

Who is Jessica Hines?
Jessica Hines is a British journalist and author, best known for her book Looking for the Big B: Bollywood, Bachchan and Me. She was an active chronicler of Indian cinema through the 1990s and 2000s.
Her name has often been linked with Aamir Khan, particularly after the shooting of Ghulam (1998). Gossip columns speculated that the two grew close during that period and later claimed Hines was raising a son, allegedly fathered by Aamir, in London. However, neither Hines nor Aamir has ever publicly confirmed or denied these rumors.
Aamir Khan and other family members are yet to react to Faissal’s new statement. They earlier issued an official statement to the media, expressing how hurt they are by Faissal’s allegations.
