Fashion designer and entrepreneur Seema Sajdeh has revealed that her former husband, actor-producer Sohail Khan, gave her a pointed piece of advice before she stepped onto the reality show The Alliance — 'Whatever happens, don't get bullied.' The candid disclosure came ahead of Seema's entry into the show, offering a rare glimpse into the amicable dynamic the two share years after their divorce.

The Advice Exchange

Speaking ahead of her debut on the show, Seema said both she and Sohail kept their pre-show conversation light and mutual. 'We had a conversation. He just said, 'Be yourself.' I also told him, 'Just be yourself,'' she recalled with a smile.

But Sohail's parting counsel went a step further. According to Seema, he told her: 'Whatever happens, don't get bullied.' Her response was equally playful — 'You're there now,' she quipped, suggesting that his presence on the show as a special guest was reassurance enough.

Seema's Own Curiosity About the Format

Notably, Seema acknowledged that while she has prior experience with reality television, the format still holds an element of the unknown for her. 'I am also actually curious about myself, how I'm going to do this,' she admitted. She also turned the tables on the dynamic, pointing out that The Alliance marks Sohail's first reality show appearance — making her, technically, the more seasoned participant. 'Actually, this is his first reality show, I have done reality shows already, so I should have given him advice,' she quipped.

Their Relationship After Divorce

Seema Sajdeh and Sohail Khan married in 1998 after a long courtship and have two sons together — Nirvaan and Yohan. After more than two decades of marriage, the couple parted ways and were granted a formal divorce in 2022. Despite the separation, the two have maintained a cordial relationship and continue to co-parent their children — a dynamic that their joint appearance on The Alliance now puts in the public eye.

Sohail Khan's Reception on the Show

Sohail, who entered The Alliance as a special guest, has reportedly been drawing positive audience response for his calm and composed demeanour through tense situations and conflicts within the game show. His measured presence appears to be resonating with viewers, adding an unexpected dimension to his reality television debut.

With both ex-spouses now sharing the same reality show space, The Alliance looks set to generate significant viewer interest — not just for the game, but for the off-script moments between two people navigating an unusual post-marriage chapter in full public view.
