Personal Life
He was married to Samia Kamruddin, a handbag designer in London, England. They divorced after only a few months on December 4. Sources said that Faisal Khan had gone into depression after he separated from his wife.
The Mumbai police reportedly persuaded Faisal to get admitted to a hospital for psychological treatment in 2004. This was after his brother Aamir filed a petition to the police saying Faisal, who also is an actor, was sending threatening letters to him and other family members. Sources said neither Aamir nor any other family member could persuade Faisal to get admitted. Aamir then approached the Khar police station in the western suburb of Mumbai with the letters and sought help. Deputy Commissioner of Police, Khar, Amitabh Gupta said, "Aamir Khan used to receive some letters from a known person, which he forwarded to us."
On 14 October 2007 it was reported that he had gone missing for the last two days. The actor was undergoing treatment for schizophrenia. The court awarded custody of Faisal to his father Tahir. His father died in February 2010 at the age of 79.

Famous quotes containing the words personal life, personal and/or life:
“A man lives not only his personal life, as an individual, but also, consciously or unconsciously, the life of his epoch and his contemporaries.”
—Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
“It has no share in the leadership of thought: it does not even reflect its current. It does not create beauty: it apes fashion. It does not produce personal skill: our actors and actresses, with the exception of a few persons with natural gifts and graces, mostly miscultivated or half-cultivated, are simply the middle-class section of the residuum.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“Mothers who are strong people, who can pursue a life of their own when it is time to let their children go, empower their children of either gender to feel free and whole. But weak women, women who feel and act like victims of something or other, may make their children feel responsible for taking care of them, and they can carry their children down with them.”
—Frank Pittman (20th century)
