Due to his film shoot commitments, actor Kunal Kemmu was unable to host one of the recent episodes of Prime Video's reality show 'Alliance'.
Stepping in for him, his wife and actor Soha Ali Khan took over hosting duties, surprising the audience with her appearance.
Her videos from the episodes went viral on the internet. In the episode, contestant Niti Taylor was seen gushing over Soha's beauty.
Alliance is a game where loyalties shift overnight and equations can change without warning.
Following the latest reshuffle, Niti Taylor, Ruhee Dosani, Payal Gaming and Armaan Khera became the Kings. Dolly Javed, Sabby Suri, Rivva Kishan and Vriddhi Patwa joined the Hunters.

Zaid Darbar, Mini Mathur, Nikhil Chinapa and Agu Stanley Chiedozie became the Legends while Arslan Goni is the ace of the headquarters.

Honestly, I thought Soha would be a bit stiff but she carried the show really well. The way she handled the contestants and the game flow was natural. Reminded me of her earlier TV appearances. But I wish Kunal had been there too - their chemistry would have been fun to watch.
This show is getting interesting with each episode. Soha's surprise entry added a nice twist. But the format is still confusing - so many teams and shifting alliances. Need a flowchart to keep track! 😅 Also, seeing Sohail Khan and Kushal Tandon in the same team is going to be explosive.
As someone who watches a lot of international reality TV, this Indian adaptation is decent. Soha was a pleasant surprise - she has that calm hosting style, unlike the usual over-the-top Indian hosts. The Dutch format is known for being ruthless, hope the Indian version keeps that edge.
Nice to see Soha back on screen! She's always been underrated. But I feel Kunal should have managed his schedule better - hosting a reality show requires consistency. The viewers get attached to the host's style. That said, Soha did a commendable job stepping in at the last moment. 👏
The way Niti Taylor was looking at Soha - pure admiration! Soha has that effortless elegance. But the show needs more focus on game strategy rather than just celebrity cameos. The team divisions seem interesting though - especially the Legends category with Agu Stanley Chiedozie making it diverse. 🌟
