Salman Khan backs brother on Alliance

Overview

In early July 2026, Sohail Khan entered the Indian reality series Alliance as a wild‑card contestant, with his older brother Salman publicly endorsing his participation. By early August, Salman made a special appearance on the show, hugging Sohail and delivering a cheeky remark about rival host Riteish Deshmukh’s job, a jab at the competing Netflix series Lock Upp Season 2. The promo highlighted the streaming rivalry between Amazon Prime Video’s Alliance and Netflix’s Lock Upp, sparking discussion on social media.

On 2 August 2026, Salman’s appearance also turned personal: he addressed Sohail’s recent divorce from Seema Sajdeh, urging his brother to move on while noting their amicable co‑parenting of two sons. He recalled his own periods of incarceration, describing overcrowded cells and limited facilities in Jodhpur Central Jail, and made a light‑hearted comment that many interpreted as another dig at Riteish Deshmukh’s competing show Lock Upp 2. The segment generated further viral attention, deepening public interest in the family dynamics and the competitive reality‑TV landscape in India.
