Actor Salman Khan made a surprise appearance on the reality show Alliance to support his younger brother, Sohail Khan, in an upcoming episode. A newly released promo shows Salman interacting with the contestants, sharing a heartfelt moment with Sohail and making a remark about actor Riteish Deshmukh that has caught viewers' attention.
During the interaction, Salman says, "I think Riteish Deshmukh ki naukri khatre mein lag rahi hai (I think Riteish Deshmukh's job is in danger)."
The comment has sparked speculation on social media, with many viewers interpreting it as a light-hearted dig at Lock Upp Season 2. Although Salman does not mention the show by name, several users believed the remark was directed at the reality show's host.
Reacting to the promo, one X user wrote, "If the promo's fire, I'm just waiting for the smoke signal that tells us who's getting the next cameo (sic)."
Another user commented, "Riteish Deshmukh it's done bro (sic)," while a third wrote, "Riteish Deshmukh what? What did he say (sic)?"
The promo begins with Sohail Khan appearing visibly frustrated as he kicks a door, leaving actor Kushal Tandon concerned. Moments later, a "System Breached" alert flashes on screen before Salman enters, surprising both the contestants and Sohail.
Salman greets his brother with a hug, after which Sohail admits that the day had been overwhelming.
"I freaked out today," Sohail tells him.
Salman then lightens the mood by turning to the other contestants and joking, "Koi stress to nahi de rahe ho na (Hope you all aren't giving him too much stress)?"
While Riteish Deshmukh is one of the hosts of Lock Upp Season 2 alongside choreographer-filmmaker Farah Khan, Alliance is hosted by actor Kunal Kemmu.
