Recent claims made by Faissal Khan, brother of Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan, have brought renewed attention to rumors surrounding Aamir's past relationship with British author and journalist Jessica Hines. Faissal's allegations, made during a recent press conference, have sparked a frenzy of media coverage and public interest in the alleged affair, its purported consequences, and a resurfaced comment from Hines herself.
Faissal Khan has alleged that Aamir Khan had a live-in relationship with Jessica Hines after his divorce from his first wife, Reena Dutta. He further claimed that Aamir fathered a child with Hines, while he was living with Kiran Rao. "Aamir married Reena and later divorced her. Then he had a relationship with Jessica Hines. They had a child. He was living with Kiran at that time,” Faissal stated in an interview. He has challenged Aamir to deny the claims and has even asserted he can prove it, suggesting a DNA test could be conducted.
Jessica Hines is a UK-based author and journalist who reportedly came to India in the late 1990s to write a book about Amitabh Bachchan. The book, titled Looking For The Big B: Bollywood, explored Bollywood in the context of Bachchan's rise to fame. Reports suggest that Hines met Aamir Khan during the filming of Ghulam (1998), and they grew close.
Rumors of a relationship between Aamir Khan and Jessica Hines first surfaced in the late 1990s and early 2000s. In 2005, Stardust magazine reported that Aamir and Jessica were in a live-in relationship and that she had given birth to his child, a son named Jaan. The report further alleged that Aamir had wanted Hines to abort the child.
In 2012, photos of Jessica Hines' son, Jaan, appeared in British Vogue. Hines reportedly shared the photo on Twitter, writing "Jaan in Vogue". The photos ignited discussions about the child's resemblance to Aamir Khan. Hines later married William Talbot, a London-based businessman, and resides in the UK with her husband and son.
Amidst Faissal Khan's recent allegations, an old comment attributed to Jessica Hines has resurfaced and gone viral. The comment, "Let's Not…", is believed to be a response to questions or discussions about her alleged relationship with Aamir Khan. While the exact context of the comment remains unclear, its resurgence underscores the renewed interest in the decades-old rumors.
Aamir Khan has consistently denied the rumors about his relationship with Jessica Hines. As of now, Jessica Hines has not responded to Faissal Khan's recent claims. The allegations remain speculative without formal confirmation. Faissal Khan has stated he has severed ties with his family. He claims Aamir is trying to create a clean public image, which Faissal says is far from the truth.
