Alliance: Salman Khan recalls time in jail, says "50 to 70 people used to share one bathroom"
Mumbai, August 3
Actor Salman Khan opened up about his time in jail while appearing on the reality show 'Alliance.'
The actor came into the show to meet his younger brother Sohail Khan, who has been going through a difficult phase in the game following the eviction of his ex-wife, Seema Sajdeh.
During the interaction, Salman looked back at his time in jail and spoke about the conditions there. Recalling how "50 to 70 people" shared a single washroom in a cramped space, he said, "Years ago, when I went to jail, we had bars in front of us. It was such a small area; 50 to 70 people used to share one bathroom. It was an Indian-style commode; there would be lizards in there sometimes. It used to be filled to the brim."
Meanwhile, Sohail Khan has been struggling on ' Alliance' since his ex-wife Seema's eviction. During the alliance-building task for the finale week, several contestants were hesitant to include him in their groups, leaving him disappointed. As Arslan Goni, who is also contesting in the reality show, repeatedly asked him to stay focused on the game, Sohail eventually lost his temper and lashed out, "One eventually gets the point, but if you constantly keep nagging like a woodpecker, there is no meaning to it."
Soon after, Sohail's frustration boiled over and he gathered his belongings and walked to the storeroom. Looking into the camera, he warned, "If anyone is behind this door, please move away in 30 seconds because I am going to kick open this door." Following this outburst, he then kicked the door three times, breaking it. Following the incident, he was taken out of the headquarters for a few hours.
Meanwhile, Salman Khan will be next seen in Maatrubhumi: May War Rest In Peace. The film was earlier scheduled to release in April but was postponed. A new release date is yet to be announced.
Alliance streams on Amazon Prime Video from Monday to Friday, with new episodes dropping at 12 pm. Celebrity contestants compete for a grand prize of INR 1 crore.

Salman Khan talking about jail seems a bit ironic given his past controversies. But I appreciate him keeping it real about the conditions. However, I wish he'd use his star power to actually advocate for prison reform instead of just narrating his experience on a reality show. Actions speak louder than words, na?
The way Sohail kicked the door is exactly how I feel during family arguments at Diwali 😂 But jokes aside, this show is getting too dramatic. Salman's jail story was the only genuine moment. The rest is just manufactured drama for TRP. Also, Maatrubhumi release date kab aayegi? Waiting for that film!
Honestly, our jails are a mirror of our society's neglect. Salman's experience is just one story among millions. The real heroes are the undertrials who spend years without conviction. I hope this conversation sparks some awareness. And Sohail's tantrum? Very entitled behaviour, honestly. Bhai ka show hai, kuch bhi chalega kya? 😒
Salman Khan's jail story is a reality check for those who glamorise celebrity life. Even stars face the music. But more importantly, this highlights the urgent need for prison reforms in India. 50-70 people sharing one bathroom is a violation of basic human dignity. Also, Sohail breaking the door was so cringe - Bhai ka bhai, but thoda control bhi rakho na 😅
I'm actually glad Salman is speaking about this. People
