Actress Zareen Khan has publicly come out in support of Dollyy Javved, criticizing actor Kushal Tandon over his conduct on the reality show Alliance. Taking to social media, Zareen praised Dollyy for standing her ground during a heated confrontation with Kushal and described his behaviour as “chauvinistic,” adding to the growing criticism surrounding the actor’s actions on the show.
Sharing her views on Instagram Stories, Zareen applauded Dollyy for refusing to tolerate what she called a poor attitude. “Kudos to Dolly Javved for not tolerating the bad attitude and chauvinistic behaviour of a fellow male contestant. Wonder why and how the others are quietly taking it all. More power to you, girl. Main toh fan ho gayi tumhari,” she wrote.
The controversy comes amid increasing backlash against Kushal Tandon, who has been accused by viewers and fellow celebrities of targeting younger contestants on Alliance. His interactions with contestants including Dollyy Javved, Vanshaj, and Payal Gaming have sparked debate online, with many social media users alleging that his behaviour towards junior participants has been disrespectful and intimidating.
Earlier, internet personality Uorfi Javed, Dollyy’s elder sister, also criticized Kushal in a series of Instagram Stories. Mocking his remarks about Dollyy being younger than him, Uorfi sarcastically suggested that her sister should start calling him “Kushal uncle” or even “Dadaji” if he expected that level of respect. She also questioned his repeated claims about eliminating contestants, asking, “Tumhare chacha ka show hai kya?” and accusing him of acting as though he controlled the competition.
Uorfi further alleged that Kushal changes his behaviour depending on whom he is interacting with. According to her, he appears aggressive toward contestants he considers weaker while behaving differently around senior personalities such as Sohail Khan and Ravi Kishan. She described his attitude as “entitled” and claimed he attempts to intimidate participants who are relatively new to the entertainment industry.
The controversy has continued to gain momentum on social media, with many viewers expressing disappointment over Kushal’s alleged treatment of younger contestants who are still establishing their careers. Several fans have echoed the criticism voiced by Zareen and Uorfi, calling for respectful conduct among participants on the reality show.
As the debate continues online, Kushal Tandon or his team have not yet issued an official response to the allegations or the criticism directed at him by fellow celebrities and viewers.
