Cinema VinesActor Gauahar Khan took to Instagram Stories on Friday to voice her frustration with the latest episode of the reality show Alliance, accusing the show of unfair gameplay and questioning the neutrality of the current Ace, Mini Mathur. Khan alleged that Mini was consistently favouring Nikhil Chinapa’s team, while her husband, Zaid Darbar, was put at a disadvantage. “Now I don’t know how to tell my husband that the bond of brotherhood or sisterhood isn’t honoured here,” Khan said, expressing disbelief that personal relationships could influence a competitive game.
In her post, Khan highlighted specific moments she felt were biased: Mini handing two diamonds to Nikhil’s team and appearing to back him during a task where he was closely competing against Zaid. She questioned the rules that allow an Ace to strategically pick whom to support, asking, “How is an Ace allowed to strategically pick out who she wants to support?” and challenging the makers with, “Alliance, come on, where are your rules?”
Gauahar also criticised the lack of impartiality she expected from the Ace role, stating that an Ace should remain completely neutral so every contestant has an equal chance. She added that Zaid’s inability to see the alleged bias was frustrating, saying, “I don’t know why Zaid can’t see that Mini is clearly against him and not supporting him.” Khan described the situation as “sad” that no one seemed to question Mini’s role, and that she would have reacted the same way even if Zaid had been the Ace.
Mini Mathur’s position as Ace is set to change, with the next Ace expected to be chosen from Aly Goni’s Legends team. Hosted by Kunal Kemmu, Alliance continues to test friendships and strategies with each episode. In the same episode, Mini revealed an emotional reason for supporting Nikhil, noting that he has a little daughter and that motivation could influence his actions.
Gauahar’s criticism has sparked debate among viewers, who are watching closely to see whether the show’s producers will address the alleged bias and clarify the rules governing the Ace’s influence on the game.
