Actor Faissal Khan said last year that his family had once placed him under house arrest and accused actor and brother Aamir Khan of abusing his influence and authority to undermine him. Aamir has now addressed the dispute, stating that he would not fight with members of his own family.

Aamir discussed his ongoing conflict with his brother Faissal Khan, with whom he appeared in the movie Mela alongside Twinkle Khanna, in an interview with Bollywood Hungama. On January 7, 2000, Mela was released.
