  "account": "Actor Kushal Tandon recently reflected on his bonds with Sohail Khan and Zaid Darbar, both of whom were contestants on the reality show Bigg Boss 7. Initially, Kushal didn't make a strong first impression on the show, but quickly became the most talked-about contestant. He credits Ekta Kapoor for pushing him to participate in the show.\n\nKushal's strongest friendship on the show was with Sohail Khan. Although many believed their bond was due to their shared family ties and Sohail's status as Salman Khan's brother, Kushal emphasized that Sohail was simply a kind and sweet person, regardless of his interactions with him. Their bond was natural from the beginning, as Sohail was part of Kushal's team throughout the competition. Kushal served as Sohail's therapist at a time when he was struggling to connect with others on the show.\n\nKushal also discussed his friendship with Zaid Darbar, Gauahar Khan's husband. Despite initial assumptions of rivalry due to their past relationships, Kushal and Zaid formed a mature and natural bond. Kushal stated that they treated each other like two boys at a boarding school, and that their friendship transcended any past romantic entanglements. Both men appreciated each other's support and favor during the show.",
