Sohail Khan and Salman Khan (Pictures via Special Arrangement)
The latest episode of Alliance gave viewers an emotional glimpse into Salman Khan's heartfelt conversation with his younger brother, Sohail Khan, about his divorce from Seema Sajdeh. The candid exchange, which had been teased in the show's promo, saw Salman reflect on Sohail's failed marriage while encouraging him to embrace a fresh start.
Addressing Sohail, Salman acknowledged that relationships often go through turbulent phases and that disagreements are a part of every marriage. Referring to Seema's earlier interviews, where she had described their relationship as "toxic," Salman said, "You are taking some blame on to you. I understand that you would not say that it was mutual. I saw some interviews (of Seema) saying as a couple it was toxic, we had fights and all....every couple has fights. It's for you to stick in it or to leave. I know as a brother what we say, you tried your best, and she also, but at that point in time, halat were not in your favour."
The superstar went on to speak about how the relationship gradually reached a point of no return despite Sohail's efforts to save it. Sharing his perspective, Salman said, "Jitni koshish karni thi karli (You tried as hard as you could), and you know it all started with one picture, and it kept on escalating, and it reached a place where you couldn't stop. No matter how much you tried to convince her and wanted to be in the relationship. That chapter is gone. I am glad that things are normal now. But as an older brother, I know the pain for you, for us and even for Seema and even for kids. I mean, you have had breakups before, but you were never like this."
Salman also turned nostalgic as he recalled the beginning of Sohail and Seema's love story. Remembering the moment Sohail informed him about their decision to marry, he shared, "After breakup you would be sad for couple of days and then move on. After 2-3 relationships, you met Seema, and I remember the day things were finalised, and I was shooting for Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam when you called me. And a week later, you said we are getting married. From that time to when you guys separated, it was difficult for you because obviously, who wants to be in that relationship and is trying to give their best in the relationship will be more hurt. But I hope you are okay now. Start dating someone now, move on now."
The emotional conversation highlighted the close bond between the Khan brothers, with Salman standing firmly by Sohail during one of the most difficult phases of his life. While acknowledging the pain that divorce brings not just for the couple but also for their families and children Salman reminded his brother that healing comes with time and encouraged him to look ahead instead of dwelling on the past.
Sohail Khan and Seema Sajdeh got married in 1998 and spent over two decades together before finalising their divorce in 2022. Despite ending their marriage, the former couple continue to co-parent their sons, Nirvaan and Yohan, and have maintained a cordial relationship.
