Salman Khan Speaks On Sohail Khan Divorce And Urges Him To Move On
During the show, Salman acknowledged that every marriage faces challenges, but noted how Sohail and Seema reached a point where things could not be saved.
Addressing Sohail directly on the show, Salman said, "You are taking some blame on to you. I understand that you would not say that it was mutual. I saw some interviews (of Seema) saying as a couple it was toxic, we had fights and all....every couple has fights. It's for you to stick in it or to leave. I know as a brother what we say, you tried your best, and she also, but at that point in time, halat were not in your favour."
Salman Khan further reflected on how the relationship deteriorated over time, noting, "Jitni koshish karni thi karli (You tried as hard as you could ), and you know it all started with one picture, and it kept on escalating, and it reached a place where you couldn't stop."
Salman Khan further added, "No matter how much you tried to convince her and wanted to be in the relationship. That chapter is gone. I am glad that things are normal now. But as an older brother, I know the pain for you, for us and even for Seema and even for kids. I mean, you have had breakups before, but you were never like this."
Salman also recalled the early days of Sohail and Seema's marriage, sharing memories of when Sohail first told him about their wedding plans.

Remembering that period, Salman said, "After breakup you would be sad for couple of days and then move on. After 2-3 relationships, you met Seema, and I remember the day things were finalised, and I was shooting for Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam when you called me."
The Tiger actor further added, "And a week later, you said we are getting married. From that time to when you guys separated. It was difficult for you because obviously, who wants to be in that relationship and is trying to give their best in the relationship will be more hurt. But I hope you are okay now. Start dating someone now, move on now."
Apart from discussing the divorce, Salman brought moments of warmth and humour to the Alliance headquarters. He praised contestant Vanshaj Singh by saying, "This boy has played well," while also sharing light-hearted interactions with other participants.
Reflecting on how Sohail handled the personal situation, Salman remarked, "Yeah, I know... he's taking every blame onto him. Pura blame issne apne aap pe le liya," acknowledging the emotional burden his younger brother had carried throughout the game.
