Mini Mathur wins Alliance: Salman Khan advises Sohail Khan to 'move on and date'; calls Sohail's marriage to Seema Sajdeh 'toxic'

And a day after Lock Upp 2's win, another reality show hosted by actor Kunal Kemmu, Alliance, crowned its first-ever winner. Television host and actor Mini Mathur emerged victorious in the grand finale, defeating Aly Goni and Ruhee Dosani. She won a Rs 50 lakh cash prize.

Mini defeated Kushal to book her place in the finale, while Ruhee emerged victorious against Niti Taylor, setting up a three-way title clash between Mini, Ruhee and Aly.

Before the final challenge, the eliminated contestants returned to the house, leading to several heated confrontations. Daisy Shah criticised Vanshaj Singh after he allegedly claimed she had made no contribution to the show. Seema Sajdeh also called out contestants for saying that she and Sohail Khan had joined the reality show only for a vacation.

For the last task, the three finalists had to collect balls from a box, build a bridge, transport the balls to a platform and balance three of them together to earn codes that would unlock the prize vault.

Mini completed the challenge with three codes, while Aly managed to secure two. Her strong performance helped her clinch the title and become the first-ever winner of Alliance.

Following her win, Mini opened up about her journey and said she hopes her victory encourages more women to challenge themselves and chase their dreams.

The road to the finale began with Aly Goni securing a direct spot after being named the Ace of the Week. The remaining contestants—Mini Mathur, Ruhee Dosani, Niti Taylor and Kushal Tandon—competed in head-to-head semi-final challenges for the remaining two places.

During her acceptance speech, Mini said, "In these six weeks, I have lived a life. This is my first reality show; before this, I had never considered doing a captive reality show. I said yes because I love sports and competition, and I am glad some of my friends forced me to do this. I didn't think I would be able to survive here for more than a week because when life looks good on the other side, you find reasons not to make it uncomfortable. But there were things I wanted to prove to myself and some things I was reconsidering about my life. But I walked in here, and I fell in love. I fell in love with each one of the contestants. They have helped me a lot throughout the journey."

She further added, "This is much more than I ever hoped for, and I think I did it with dignity and grace. I hope all women get inspired a bit after watching me because I think now the sky is the limit and I will push myself way more."

Netizens weren't happy with Mini's win, calling it undeserving

The winner was declared just days after Salman Khan entered Alliance.

Several clips of Salman and Sohail have emerged on social media. In an emotional conversation with his brother, Salman Khan spoke to Sohail about his divorce from Seema Sajdeh.

The topic began after Seema entered the Alliance HQ to support Sohail. Sohail was seen listening to and following Seema's advice, while Salman also offered heartfelt advice, encouraging his brother to reflect on his marriage and move on.

Speaking to Sohail on the show, Salman acknowledged that relationships often go through difficult phases and suggested that every couple faces disagreements. He also referred to Seema's past interviews, in which she had described their relationship as "toxic."

He said, "You are taking some blame onto 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."

Salman went on to speak about how Sohail and Seema's relationship gradually deteriorated despite Sohail's efforts to save it. He said, "Jitni koshish karni thi kar li (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 the kids. I mean, you have had breakups before, but you were never like this."

Salman also recalled the early days of Sohail and Seema's relationship and remembered the time his brother informed him about their wedding. He said, "After a breakup, you would be sad for a couple of days and then move on. After 2-3 relationships, you met Seema, and I remember the day things were finalised. I was shooting for Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam when you called me. 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."

Sohail Khan and Seema Sajdeh tied the knot in 1998 and were married for over two decades before finalising their divorce in 2022. The former couple share two sons, Nirvaan and Yohan.
