"Ab thoda sa apne liye khelna padega": Kabir Khan's advice to wife Mini Mathur on 'Alliance'
Mumbai, July 22
Filmmaker Kabir Khan made a guest appearance on the reality series 'Alliance' to support his wife, television host Mini Mathur. Kabir arrived with their children, turning what began as a family reunion into one of the most emotional moments of the season.
Praising Mini's journey in the game, Kabir lauded the relationships she has built with fellow contestants.
"You're coming out, ek bahut dignified elegance hai aur ek sab ke saath dosti hai. I don't think aur kisi yahan aisa relationship hai jahan sab ke saath ek dosti hai. Koi bhi kone mein ghuske gaaliyaan nahi de raha... Mini ma'am bani hui hai," he told her.
As Mini jokingly responded, "Main bol rahi hoon mat bol," Kabir encouraged her to shift her focus towards winning. "Ab yeh do hafton mein thoda sa apne liye khelna padega. Jeet ke aana hai," he said.
The couple's son also shared his perspective on how the competition has changed, saying that the game has moved beyond image and emotions.
"Abhi tak jitna game hua hai woh image ka game hai, personality ka game hai, emotions ka game hai, woh game khatam ho gaya. Ab sab apne aap ke liye Ace banna chah rahe hain last week mein... Position yourself in a way in the next 2-3 weeks so when that time comes, you're the right profile for Number 1," he said.
Pointing out Mini's role as a peacemaker throughout the season, he added, "Abhi tak aapne bahut mediation kiya hai," prompting Kabir to jokingly advise, "Maybe mediation kam kar do."
Their son further urged Mini to avoid getting involved in unnecessary conflicts.
"Jhagdon mein mat ghusso... perpetrator aur victim dono se mat judo. Apne aap ka game khelo," he said.
The emotional high point came when Mini's daughter told her, "Ab mere liye khelo," leaving the television host teary-eyed as she embraced her family.
Following the reunion, Mini introduced her family to the other contestants, reflecting the friendships she has formed during her time in the competition.
'Alliance' is currently streaming on Prime Video.

I loved how their son gave such mature advice—"perpetrator aur victim dono se mat judo". It's rare to see kids so wise about human dynamics. Mini has raised them well. But Kabir's "mediation kam kar do" was a bit too forward, don't you think? Sometimes being the peacemaker is also a strength.
The daughter's line "ab mere liye khelo" got me emotional 😢. It's so Indian—our parents work hard for us, and when we finally see them doing something for themselves, we just want them to win. Kabir's family seems so grounded. All the best Mini!
Kabir Khan's advice was practical but also a bit critical. "Ek bahut dignified elegance hai aur ek sab ke saath dosti hai"—that's a huge compliment, but then telling her to stop mediating? Mini has built genuine bonds, and that's why audiences love her. Hope she balances it well!
This is so wholesome! Kabir Khan coming with their kids to support Mini—peak Indian family energy 🥹. And the son's analysis of the game being about "image, personality, emotions" was spot on. Reality shows in India are exactly that. Mini should take their advice and go for the win!
