'Was Se*ually HARASSED By..': Sohail Khan Opens Up About Traumatic Incident, Reveals Speaking To Father Salim

On Prime Video's show Alliance, Sohail Khan spoke about a painful memory from his early years that he had kept hidden for a long time.

During a conversation with other contestants about bullying, he admitted that the topic hit close to home for him. "Because ye bullying mere sath hua hai," he said. He then added, "In fact, I was sexually harassed by somebody when I was young."

Sohail explained that he stayed silent about it for many years. "I kept that within me for years," he said. He only found the courage to talk about it after he grew up. He shared that he went to his father Salim Khan and told him everything. "When I became an adult, I went and confided in my father. Told him, 'Daddy ye mere sath hua tha.''

Salim Khan wanted to know why his son had not spoken up earlier. Sohail answered honestly, "I was so embarrassed to say it." Even though he understood that it was not his fault, the shame stayed with him and stopped him from sharing it with anyone. That experience changed the way he parents today. "So I just keep on telling my children ki kuch bhi ho jaye, tell me," he said.

When I became an adult, I went and confided in my father. Told him, 'Daddy ye mere sath hua tha

His co contestants Arslan Goni, Aly Goni, Agu Stanley, Nikhil Chinapa and Ruhee Dosani praised him for speaking so openly about something so personal.

Sohail joined Alliance as the first wildcard entry and has become one of the most emotionally grounded people on the show. The dynamics shifted further when his ex wife Seema Sajdeh entered the house. They got married in 1998 and divorced in 2022, but continue to co parent their two sons Nirvaan and Yohan on good terms. On the show, Sohail mentioned that both boys live with him. Seema comes over three times a week and still has a key to the house. He also shared that Nirvaan is supporting him in the competition while Yohan is cheering for Seema. Even as opponents in the game, the two remain supportive of each other. Seema has called Sohail her "only ally" and has helped him with strategy several times.
