Sohail Khan Compares Kushal Tandon’s swag to Salman and Sanju Baba: “He’s Misunderstood, Not Arrogant”

Kushal Tandon’s journey on Alliance has been one of the most talked-about this season, with his emotional honesty and intense involvement in the game sparking conversations among viewers. While his reactions have often made headlines, it was Sohail Khan’s heartfelt words that offered a deeper perspective on the actor’s personality.

Speaking about Kushal on the show, Sohail said, “He’s misunderstood. He’s being defensive because aap kisi ko bhi aise akela chhodoge, ya uske peeth peeche baat karoge… he’s a self-made boy, yaar. Isko toh lagega hi na, ‘Mere saath yeh kyun zyadti ho rahi hai?’”

Explaining further, Sohail added, “Usko swag hai. Chaal mein woh baat hai. Woh arrogant nahi hai. Uske demeanour mein hi woh baat hai. Uski chaal hai… like Sanju Baba, Salman Bhai. They’ve got swag. He’s got swag too.”

Sohail’s words reflected a side of Kushal that viewers have witnessed throughout the season. Whether standing up for his beliefs, wearing his emotions on his sleeve or opening up during difficult moments, Kushal has remained unapologetically authentic. One such moment came when he broke down emotionally and spoke about his family, saying, “I am the only son of my family. If something happens to me, what will happen to them?” The heartfelt confession resonated with many viewers, revealing the emotional weight and responsibility he carries beyond the game.

In a format driven by strategy and shifting alliances, Kushal Tandon’s journey has been defined by sincerity. Sohail Khan’s observations further highlighted that what many perceive as aggression is, in his view, simply a defence mechanism of someone who feels deeply and chooses to stay true to himself.
