That actor whose not only brother but also uncle was the pride of the industry

New DelhiWhile Aamir Khan is a big star of the industry, people would hardly know his brother Faisal Khan. In the year 1969, he did his first film as a child artist. The name of the film was ‘Pyaar Ka Mausam’. In this, Faizal played the childhood role of Shashi Kapoor. After this he was seen in the film Mela with Aamir Khan. Now he is living an anonymous life.

Faizal Khan may not have been able to earn a name in the industry like his brother. But he had worked as a side hero in many films. In the year 1988, he played the role of a villain in his brother Aamir’s film ‘Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak’. He had worked very hard for his character in the film fair also. But sadly he had failed to win the hearts of the people.

A flop film was given 25 years ago
Aamir Khan’s younger brother Faizal was also seen in the film Mela, which hit the theaters about 25 years ago. The film had everything from a dreaded villain to action, songs and drama, but after release the film proved to be a huge flop. The makers had to suffer huge losses due to the failure of this film. So much so that Faizal himself had distanced himself from the world of acting after this film.

Career limited to 6-7 films only
Faizal Khan has worked in only 6 or 7 films in his career. Faizal had worked as an actor in films like ‘Jo Jeeta Wo Sikandar’, ‘Madhosh’ and Mela. But he did not get much recognition for his roles in any film. The film director never cast him in the lead role. Faizal did only 6-7 films in his entire career. Despite being the brother of a superstar, there came a time when he stopped getting work and he said goodbye to the world of acting.

Let us tell you that even today people remember Faisal Khan only for the film ‘Mela’. The character of Shankar Shen played by him in the film could not give him much recognition. Faizal is the son of producer Tahir Hussain and brother of superstar Aamir Khan. The actor’s uncle Nasir Hussain was also a producer and director, despite this Faizal could not make his own place in the industry.
