Kunal Kemmu-hosted Alliance has entered its final stretch, with the winner set to be crowned this weekend. The champion will take home the trophy and a cash prize of Rs 50 lakh. Last week, Aly Goni became the show’s first finalist, while Mini Mathur secured the first semi-final spot earlier this week. On Wednesday’s episode, Daisy Shah was eliminated, following which the contestants who finished second and third had to choose one semi-finalist each. Representing Team Warriors, Vanshaj picked Niti Taylor, while Team Kings selected Ruhee Dosani. Kushal Tandon claimed the final semi-final berth after evicting Zaid Darbar.
Kushal Tandon evicts Zaid Darbar
Right from the beginning of the show, all eyes have been on the dynamics between Kushal Tandon and Zaid Darbar. Since Kushal is Zaid Darbar’s wife Gauahar Khan’s ex, many assumed that Kushal and Zaid would not get along on the show. However, the two went on to become great friends, and the friendship was such that Zaid even allowed Kushal to eliminate him from the game so close to the finish line.

The latest episode featured a special appearance by contestants from The Traitors Season 2, who brought the show’s signature game to Alliance. After being chosen as the Traitor, Kushal Tandon ‘murdered’ Zaid Darbar, resulting in his elimination. With the remaining contestants failing to identify Kushal as the traitor, he secured a spot in the semi-final. After being evicted from the show, Zaid said, “I knew he would kill me when I sat on that chair. I was the first one to realise that if I don’t become the traitor, I would be killed, because I am on good terms with everybody. It’s very difficult for people to figure out who would kill me. I know my group wouldn’t do it.”
After Kushal revealed himself as the traitor, Zaid hugged him and said, “It was very difficult to fight solo this time, so Kushal and I had decided that if either of us became a traitor, we would eliminate the other. I am broken from within. I cannot tell anyone how upset I am that just one day before I was evicted.”
Sohail Khan and four others get evicted
After Kushal Tandon secured his spot in the semi-final, everyone else left in the game was unfortunately evicted. Sohail Khan, Bali, Arslan Goni, Vanshaj Singh, and Agu Stanley got evicted ahead of the finale.
After getting evicted, Sohail said, “I only request the system to wrap up soon, so that we can have a party.” Soon after this, the semi-finalists began competing for the remaining two final spots.
The grand finale of Alliance will air on August 7.
