In the upcoming episode of Alliance, Salman Khan is set to revisit one of the most challenging phases of his life. During a candid conversation, the actor opens up about the emotional toll of repeatedly going in and out of jail while waiting for bail, and even makes a surprising confession about wanting to stay behind bars a little longer. Salman appears on the show's finale week as a special guest to support his younger brother, Sohail Khan.
According to a source associated with the show, Salman told the contestants that every time his legal team applied for bail, he mentally prepared himself for the possibility of returning to prison. Eventually, he stopped expecting permanent freedom, believing he would have to go back after every release.
However, when he was finally informed that he would not have to return to jail, Salman admitted he had mixed feelings. Jokingly, he said he almost wished his stay had been extended by another four or five days because the disciplined prison routine had helped him get into excellent physical shape.
The source added that Salman spoke about how life in jail was stripped down to the essentials. With regular exercise and simple meals, he became "so ripped" that he humorously did not want the routine to end so quickly.
Salman's remarks revisit one of the most discussed episodes of his life. He was imprisoned in connection with the 1998 blackbuck hunting case. In 2006, he was sentenced to five years in prison before being granted bail shortly afterwards. In 2018, he again spent a few days in jail after being convicted in the related case before securing bail.
In the latest promo, Salman also described the prison conditions he experienced.
"Bohot saalon pehle jab jail gaya tha toh we had bars in front of us. In such a small area, there are 50-60-70 people there, one bathroom, Indian-style, kabhi chhipkali hain and more than that water and ***t is filled up (Many years ago, when I went to jail, there were iron bars in front of us. Around 50 to 70 people were packed into a very small space with just one Indian-style toilet. There were lizards everywhere, and the toilet was overflowing with water and waste)," he said, recalling the difficult conditions inside the prison.
Salman's appearance on Alliance comes during the show's finale week, where he makes a surprise visit to encourage Sohail, who entered the reality show as a wildcard contestant last month.
Sohail's journey has emerged as one of the season's most talked-about storylines, particularly after his emotional reunion with former wife Seema Sajdeh and her subsequent elimination from the competition, which visibly affected him. Salman visits the Alliance headquarters to lift his brother's spirits.
The promo also teases several emotional moments between the Khan brothers, with Salman jokingly teasing Sohail in his signature style while also offering words of encouragement, making their reunion one of the highlights of the finale week.
