Family background[edit]

His uncle Nasir Hussain was a producer and director. His nephew Imran Khan is an actor and his cousin Tariq Khan was an actor in the 1970s and 1980s. He is related to Maulana Abul Kalam Azad.[1]
Career[edit]
Khan made a brief appearance in his uncle Nasir Hussain's 1969 film Pyar Ka Mausam, playing Shashi Kapoor's role as a child at the age of three years. He made his film debut as an adult in 1988, playing a minor role as a villain in his brother Aamir's film Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak. He worked as an assistant director in his father's 1990 film Tum Mere Ho, which starred his brother Aamir in the lead.
Khan got his first leading role in the 1994 film Madhosh, which was produced by his father and directed by Vikram Bhatt. After a five-year hiatus, he made his comeback alongside his brother in Mela (2000). He appeared in several other films that fared poorly at the box office.[2] He also appeared in the TV serial Aandhi in 2003.[2] His last film was Chand Bujh Gaya in 2005. After a decade long hiatus, it was announced that he would be making his comeback and star in Chinar Daastaan-E-Ishq, a film produced by Rajesh Jain.[3]
His upcoming film is Danger, a horror film directed by Faisal Saif. He is also set to make his South Indian film debut with a supporting role in the Tamil film Kontract. He is going to debut singing with the romantic song in his upcoming movie titled Factory.
Personal life[edit]
In 2007, Khan was reported missing for two days. He had filed a report to the police several days earlier accusing his brother Aamir of keeping him confined in his home because Aamir thought that his brother Faisal was mentally ill.[4] He was eventually traced to Pune and brought back to Mumbai where he went through a medical examination.[5] He was eventually diagnosed with a mental disorder, and his brother Aamir and his father were in a custody battle over Faisal that garnered much press coverage. Faisal's custody was awarded to his father, Tahir.[6]
