Gauahar Khan pens cryptic note after Kushal Tandon’s remark in Alliance goes viral
Gauahar took to her Instagram Stories and shared a note that read, “The more secure you are, the less you take offence.” She also wrote, “Not every ignorant thing needs a knee-jerk reaction. The wise know to do better. Proud of you @zaid_darbar.”

What did Kushal Tandon say?
In the now-viral clip from Alliance, Kushal Tandon is seen having a conversation with Mini Mathur and Zaid Darbar in the gym area. During the conversation, Kushal says he had “won” against Zaid the previous night. Curious, Mini asks what happened, and Zaid explains that he had asked Kushal for a cigarette because the ones he had were “bekar” (bad).
Reacting to this, Kushal says, “Tujhe saari meri cheezin pasand aati hai” (“You always like my things”). The remark quickly caught viewers’ attention, with many interpreting it as a reference to Gauahar Khan, whom Kushal dated in the past.
Mini looked surprised by the comment, while Arslan Goni stepped in and asked both Kushal and Zaid not to make such remarks on the show. Kushal, however, replied, “It’s a joke.”
