New Delhi: In the latest episode of the reality show Alliance, Salman Khan opened up about his time in jail, recalling how he shared a hall with 50-70 inmates.

“Many years ago when I was in jail, we had bars in front of us, with 50-60-70 people inside, one bathroom, Indian-style commode. Sometimes there were lizards, and the space was filled with s**t,” he said in a promo of the episode.

He appeared on the show to support his younger brother Sohail Khan. Calling him his “noble brother”, Salman praised Sohail for always “taking the blame” for him. Sohail also said that he had freaked out during Salman’s imprisonment, which came as a “shock” for the older brother.

“I know as a brother how much he is trying…he is just taking it in emotionally throughout the years,” Salman said.

Salman has been jailed several times for brief periods in connection with the blackbuck poaching case. He was sentenced to five years in prison in 2018 but was granted bail after two days. Before that, he spent a total of 18 days behind bars on separate occasions in 1998, 2006, and 2007.

The actor also jokingly warned Riteish Deshmukh, who is hosting another reality show, Lock Up, alongside Farah Khan, saying that “his job is in danger.” Salman Khan starred in Riteish Deshmukh’s directorial debut Raja Shivaji (2026).

The episode featuring Salman Khan will premiere on Tuesday.

Nine Years, Made Possible by Readers

In 2017, Shekhar Gupta started ThePrint with a simple belief: Indian readers want journalism that asks why and what next, not just what. And that enough of them would be willing to pay for good journalism.

And, in these nine years, we’ve stayed true to our mission. We’ve been asking the follow-up questions, going beyond the headlines and explaining what’s actually happening. We’ve travelled across the country to bring you in-depth, visually-compelling stories from the ground.

It’s been nine years of readers choosing to make this possible. If you’d like to be one of them:
