Sabby Suri Opens Up On Her Alliance Journey Says Kushal Tandon Was Her Biggest Support Inside The House

Sabby Suri has opened up about her emotional journey on Prime Video's reality show Alliance, revealing how the experience changed the way audiences viewed her personality. After her eviction, the actress and reality star spoke about being perceived as the "innocent" contestant of the show, her genuine approach toward the game, her viral Punjabi dance performance, and the special friendship she developed with Kushal Tandon.

During an interaction after her exit, Sabby was praised for playing the game with honesty and staying true to herself. Reacting to being called pure-hearted and genuine, she shared that the show helped audiences understand her real personality. "Thank you so much, first of all. And yes, the thing is, I am very pure-hearted. The show revealed to people what I am like in real life—that I am genuinely innocent," Sabby said.

She revealed that even before entering the show, her close friend often told her that she needed protection because of her innocent nature. However, it was only after joining Alliance that she understood why people saw her that way. "My best friend used to tell me, 'Sabby, I need to protect you; you are very innocent.' Back then, I didn't understand why she said that. But after joining the show, I realized that people really did feel I needed protection—that I was that innocent," she shared.

Sabby explained that she never entered the show with a mindset of manipulating situations or targeting contestants. According to her, she always expressed what she genuinely felt and focused on performing for her alliance rather than playing a strategic game. "I don't have any deceit or cunning in me; I don't harbor evil thoughts like targeting someone or plotting their eviction. What is in my heart is on my lips. I am very pure-hearted in that regard, and it was a wonderful experience for me," Sabby said.

She also admitted that even when opportunities came where she could have changed her approach and played a more strategic game, she found it difficult to pretend. "When I was nominated in the second week, there was an opportunity to be fake, but I just couldn't bring myself to do that. That said, I do feel the game should be treated like a game show; some people were acting quite fake—and I suppose they were playing the game well in their own way—but my own journey, though short, was good," she added.

Talking about life inside the reality show house, Sabby said the experience was much more than arguments and competition. Living without phones and staying with people from different backgrounds created several memorable moments for all contestants. "You live with people of such diverse personalities and backgrounds, and without a phone—yet there were wonderful moments. It wasn't all about fighting over food or anything like that; there were truly great times too," she shared.

Sabby recalled how contestants would come together after completing tasks or dealing with disagreements during the day. "This was a unique reality show experience where, after spending the day doing tasks or even arguing, we would all have fun together at night—dancing, laughing, and joking around," she said.

One of the biggest highlights of Sabby's journey was her viral Punjabi dance performance, where she showcased Bhangra and Giddha inside the house. She revealed that the moment was completely unplanned and happened because of encouragement from Kushal Tandon. "Yes. I never imagined it would go so viral or that people would love it so much. It was completely unexpected; I hadn't planned to perform Bhangra or Giddha," Sabby said.

She explained that Kushal encouraged her to wear a traditional Punjabi suit and represent her culture. "I remember Kushal suggesting I wear a suit [traditional Punjabi outfit], saying I’d look good in one. I hadn't even brought any suits with me, but they arrived from home, so I put one on. Kushal encouraged me to showcase my Punjabi culture and perform Giddha, and he even joined in," she revealed.

Calling the moment special, Sabby added, "I found it such a sweet gesture that he danced Giddha with me just to encourage me. I noticed that throughout the entire show, there hadn't really been a moment like that—where someone was dancing or performing Giddha with another person. So, that was a very special moment for me."

Sabby also spoke about the strong support she received from Kushal throughout her journey. She said that he stood by her during difficult moments and constantly motivated her to showcase her talents.

"Absolutely. I’d say he was the one who truly supported me. Even when I cried, I wouldn't really share it with anyone, and no one else would come over to comfort me. But he cared; as a friend, it mattered to him," Sabby said.

She recalled how Kushal encouraged her whenever she felt low. "He would always motivate me. He understood how difficult it was to live in that house. He would often say, 'Why are you troubling this poor girl?' He’d call me a sweet, decent girl and really encourage me," she added.

"He would tell me, 'No, sing, enjoy yourself, dance, do the Gidda—whatever you love. Show the audience your full talent.' He wanted me to pursue films later on. His support and motivation meant a lot to me," Sabby said.

Clarifying that their friendship was completely natural, Sabby revealed that she and Kushal had never met before entering the show. Their connection developed inside the house without any planning or strategy.

"No, nothing like that was planned; we didn't know each other at all and had never met prior to the show," she explained.

Sabby further shared that viewers appreciating their bond came as a surprise to both of them. "There wasn't a specific vibe or plan; we certainly didn't expect people outside to appreciate our bond—our friendship—so much. We weren't trying to manufacture anything; we never sat down to plot a strategy or anything of that sort. Whatever existed between us was genuine," she said.

She concluded by praising Kushal's guidance during the game. "Whenever I asked for advice—like whether to nominate someone—he would guide me, telling me to think it through and consider different angles. His encouragement and support felt completely natural; the bond we shared was truly authentic," Sabby added.

With her honest gameplay, emotional moments, and memorable performances, Sabby Suri has left a strong impression on Alliance viewers. Her journey may have ended earlier than expected, but her genuine personality and bond with Kushal Tandon continue to remain among the most talked-about moments of the show.
