While shedding light on his family issues, he applauded his brother Aamir Khan and revealed that he is the only one who has helped him. 

Faissal mentioned that after leaving home and starting to live alone, he realized that no one was offering him work. It was Aamir who made some calls and helped him with a job to make ends meet.  “I know Aamir. He is very kind. Aamir ka ye kaam hi nahi ho sakta ki Aamir aisa soche aur ye sab kare,” said Faissal Khan. 

The actor further blamed his close ones for the distance between him and Aamir and even claimed that his brother was brainwashed. Faissal Khan remarked, “He (Aamir Khan) was brainwashed by the family- some aunts, uncles, and close ones. Kuch logon ko bhaiyon ki closeness bhi achhi nahi lagti. Wo chahte hai ki bhai separate rahe. I've experienced all this over the years.”
