Kushal clarifies viral remark: Actor says line to Zaid was an inside joke
Kushal Tandon recently addressed his viral comment regarding Zaid Darbar, clarifying that it was merely a joke and that the context of their conversation was not fully captured by the makers. Emphasizing that his past relationship with Gauahar Khan is resolved, he mentioned a warm reunion with both Zaid and Gauahar at a recent gathering, where even Gauahar's mother shared kind words with him.
Kushal Tandon, once a prominent contestant on Alliance, has clarified his controversial remark targeting ex-girlfriend Gauahar Khan. In an exclusive interview with Times of India TV, the actor addressed the criticism surrounding his comment and explained that it was an inside joke among friends.
Kushal revealed that his conversation with Zaid Darbar, Gauahar's husband, was not fully shown in the viral clip. He admitted that he used to offer Zaid cigarettes, but Zaid would take them without asking, leading to irritation. Kushal further explained that he would keep his cigarettes for a short time, only for Zaid to drink from them. The actor also mentioned protein shakes as part of their playful banter.
Kushal clarified that the statement about liking only his things was part of their friendly ribbing. He emphasized that the full context was not conveyed in the edited clip, leading to the misinterpretation of his words. The actor stressed that his intentions were clear and that he believed Zaid understood where he was coming from.
Despite the backlash, Kushal expressed a positive view of his relationship with both Gauahar and Zaid. He highlighted that 15 years ago, Gauahar and he were together, and life has since moved on. Kushal also mentioned that he saw Zaid as a fellow contestant, not as Gauahar's husband, and that he had a good relationship with both parties.
