Mumbai: Reality show Alliance was filled with shifting loyalties, strategic gameplay, and unexpected relationships. One of the biggest surprises to emerge from the show was the friendship between Niti Taylor and Kushal Tandon. The actress has now revealed how the two went from frequent disagreements inside the house to becoming close friends after the competition.
Speaking about her experience, Niti shared that honest conversations helped them move past misunderstandings and build mutual respect.
Niti Taylor Recalls Feeling Sidelined in the House
Reflecting on her journey in Alliance, Niti said she and several younger contestants often felt excluded during the game.
According to the actress, certain contestants referred to them as “gully ke bacche,” making them feel underestimated and treated as weaker competitors.
She explained that many of those interactions never made it into the final episodes, but they influenced the dynamics inside the house.
Niti said the experience encouraged her and a few fellow contestants to form their own alliance and support one another throughout the competition.
“We decided to stick together and play our own game because we felt overlooked,” she shared.
“I Was Never Intimidated by Kushal”
Despite Kushal Tandon’s strong presence in the competition, Niti said she never felt intimidated by him.
She acknowledged that the two had several disagreements during the early stages of the show but said those differences gradually disappeared after they had an honest conversation.
According to Niti, that discussion changed her perspective and allowed her to see a different side of Kushal’s personality.
“I was never intimidated by Kushal. We had our arguments in the beginning, but today we’re actually besties. I never imagined that would happen. He’s a wonderful person, and talking things through made all the difference,” she said.
A Friendship Built Beyond the Game
Niti described Kushal as someone who may appear tough during competition but has a kind and genuine personality off-camera.
She added that resolving their misunderstandings helped them develop a friendship that continued even after the show concluded.
Their evolving bond became one of the most unexpected outcomes of the reality series.
