Zaid Darbar on entering 'Alliance': I'm naturally emotional, but strategy is important'
Mumbai, June 23
Actor and dancer Zaid Darbar, who is set to enter the upcoming reality show 'Alliance', has shared what he considers the biggest challenge while navigating the reality show. He also shared how he aims to proceed with the game.
Zaid, who is also the husband of Gauahar Khan, recently spoke with IANS, and shared that the show allowed him a chance to step out of his comfort zone, and to present his unfiltered self in front of the audience.
He told IANS, "I've always believed in stepping out of my comfort zone, and Alliance felt like the perfect challenge. It's fresh, unpredictable, and lets people see the real me. They'll see my patience, resilience, and the way I deal with pressure. Off-camera, I'm very different from the entertainer people usually see. I'm naturally emotional, but I know strategy is important. I think I'll try to balance my heart and my mind".
Talking about his family's reaction to him entering the show, he said, "They were excited and a little nervous, but they believed in me and told me to enjoy the journey and stay true to myself. Because I'm coming in with a genuine heart, positive energy, and I'm ready to give my 100%,, and I hope people enjoy the journey with me".
When asked if he received any tips from his wife, Gauahar Khan, or brother, Awez Darbar since they have been a part of reality shows earlier, he said, "Yes, both of them told me the same thing, just be yourself because audiences connect with honesty more than anything else".
"I have a basic mindset, but I want to play instinctively. I don't want to overthink every move. Loyalty always comes first for me, but in a game you also have to survive smartly. Finding that balance is the challenge", he added.

Gauahar Khan's husband, no wonder he knows the game already. But honestly, being emotional on camera can be a double-edged sword. Hope he plays smart and doesn't let production manipulate his narrative. All the best! 🤞
Interesting to see a dancer enter a strategy-based reality show. Will his choreography skills translate to game tactics? Could be entertaining. I appreciate his honesty about being emotional but also strategic.
Ab dekhte hain kitna 'unfiltered' rehta hai jab cameras roll karte hain! 😂 But seriously, if he sticks to being genuine and loyal, he'll win hearts even if he doesn't win the show. Sabse mushkil task hai apne aap ko prove karna without going overboard.
After watching many reality shows, I'm skeptical when contestants say they'll be 'themselves'. Everyone says that. What's different here? Zaid seems like a nice guy, but strategy and emotion don't mix well in these engineered environments. Let's see what happens.
Zaid's approach is refreshingly honest. Most contestants come with a filmy attitude. He sounds grounded. And getting advice from Gauahar and Awez is a solid advantage. Just hope he doesn't become a puppet of the show's narrative. 💪
