Actor Sohail Khan has opened up about his post-separation parenting arrangement with ex-wife Seema Sajdeh, revealing on the reality streaming show 'Alliance' that their two children reside with him full-time while Seema visits the family home three to four times a week — and holds a set of keys to the house.

Seema Sajdeh's Entry and the Reunion Moment

The episode that sparked widespread conversation featured Seema Sajdeh arriving at the show's headquarters. In her video diary, she addressed the history between them directly: 'Sohail aur mere beech mein kafi kalesh ho chukki hai lekin abi hum aaye hain is platform pe to play a game. Game on, Sohail' ('Sohail and I have had quite a few conflicts, but now we are here on this platform to play a game. Game on, Sohail').

Sohail, for his part, greeted her with visible warmth, saying: 'Muhje Seema ko dekh kar bahut aacha laga, it's good to see somebody who's your home person.' The exchange set the tone for one of the show's more emotionally layered episodes.

Sohail on a Difficult Phase and What He Lost

Speaking candidly to host Nikhil Chinapa, Sohail reflected on a turbulent period in his personal and professional life. 'At the time kaam waam thik thak nahi chal raha tha, I was in a different mindspace at that time. As I said that time changed and because of a certain behaviour I lost out on someone I really loved,' he said.

The admission was notably self-aware — acknowledging personal accountability without elaborating on specifics, a rare moment of vulnerability on a format that often trades in surface-level drama.

The Parenting Arrangement They Have Built

Sohail detailed the custody and co-parenting setup that he and Seema have quietly maintained since their separation. 'Both the kids stay with me so she comes to meet the kids home so a couple days like three times a week four times a week she comes home,' he explained.

When fellow contestant Zaid asked whether Seema could visit whenever she wished, Sohail smiled and confirmed: 'I have given her the keys.'

In his video diary, he elaborated on the respect that underpins their relationship today: 'She is the mother of my 2 beautiful children, so pyaar se zyaada mein Seema ki izzat karta hu. Lekin yeh jo show hai yeh ek yaadgaar show rahega mere liye, though we have separated this show has got us back together to talk to each other, confide in each other, support each other... woh missing link tha woh yeh show ne waapas se jod diya.'

Children Come First: The Philosophy They Share

The most emotionally resonant part of Sohail's conversation centred on shielding their children from any residual tension. 'No stress for the kids, she and I can handle it. I don't want kids to feel that mom and dad fight or mom and dad are having an argument. We have just told them, beta you have the best of both a mother and a father, first as parents but your parents they take discussion together,' he said.

The approach reflects a growing, if still uncommon, model of separated co-parenting in Indian celebrity culture — where the children's emotional stability is explicitly prioritised over public narratives of conflict.
