In the latest episode of Prime Video's Alliance, Sohail Khan opened up about a deeply personal chapter from his childhood, revealing that he was sexually harassed at a young age. While discussing bullying with his co-contestants, the actor shared that he often checks with his sons to ensure they are never going through a similar experience. "Because ye (bullying) mere sath hua hai," Sohail said, before adding, "In fact, I was sexually harassed by somebody when I was young."

The veteran actor revealed that he carried the trauma in silence for years. "I kept that within me for years," he said, adding that he only confided in his father, Salim Khan, after becoming an adult. "When I became an adult, I went and confided in my father. Today him, 'Daddy ye mere sath hua tha.'"
