Mumbai, July 16: Actor Sohail Khan recently opened up about a painful chapter from his childhood during the latest episode of “Alliance.” The ‘Maine Dil Tujhko Diya’ actor revealed that he had faced s*xual harassment as a young boy and kept the experience to himself for several years.

He explained that his own past has shaped the way he guides and supports his sons, Nirvaan and Yohan.
While interacting with fellow contestants, Sohail spoke about the importance of creating an environment where children feel safe to share their concerns. He said he often encourages his sons to openly talk to him if they ever face bullying, discomfort, or any situation that troubles them. The actor said, “I am strongly against ragging.

“In fact, I was s*xually harassed by someone when I was young, and I kept it to myself for years. When I grew up and became an adult, I finally confided in my father. I told him, ‘Daddy, this happened to me.’ He asked me, ‘Son, you kept this inside you for so many years?’ I said, ‘I am sorry, but I was too embarrassed to talk about it.’ It was not my fault, but at that time, you still feel the shame. So, I just keep on telling my children, "Boss, kuch bhi ho jaye, always share," added Sohail. ‘Alliance’: Kushal Tandon’s Joke About Ex-Girlfriend Gauahar Khan in Front of Husband Zaid Darbar Sparks Backlash (Watch Video).

The ‘Tubelight’ actor admitted that his own actions and behavior played a role in the relationship falling apart. “At that time, kaam theek nahi chal raha tha (my work wasn’t going well), so I wasn’t in the right frame of mind. Because of my behaviour, I lost someone I really loved.”
