Alliance: Reality show Alliance witnessed an unexpectedly emotional moment when actor Kushal Tandon spoke about his past relationship with Gauahar Khan during a conversation with Sohail Khan. What made the exchange particularly noteworthy was that Gauahar’s husband, Zaid Darbar, was also present. In the latest episode, Kushal asked Sohail, “Aapko meri aur iski history pata hai na?” gesturing towards Zaid. When Sohail admitted he was unaware, Kushal candidly replied, “Once, I was in love with a girl; he is married to that girl.”
The remark referred to Gauahar Khan, whom Kushal dated after the two met on Bigg Boss 7 more than a decade ago.
Zaid Darbar’s response earns praise
Rather than making the conversation uncomfortable, it turned into a moment of mutual respect. Sohail Khan applauded both Kushal and Zaid for handling the situation with maturity. Zaid, too, responded warmly, revealing that Gauahar has always spoken highly of her former partner.
“Woh bahut achha insaan hai, Zaid,” he recalled Gauahar telling him, adding that the past never affected their relationship. Zaid also spoke about his present life with Gauahar, saying the two have built a happy family together and are now parents to two children.
