The new reality show Alliance has kicked off with a bang, and it's not just the challenges that are making headlines. In the first task, actor Kushal Tandon got into a heated argument with content creator Vanshaj Singh and even threatened to beat him up.
The drama unfolded when Vanshaj asked Kushal and his team a straightforward question about deducting points from his team. Instead of giving a direct answer, Kushal remained evasive, sparking a heated verbal exchange.
During the argument, Kushal warned Vanshaj, saying, 'Vansh, tameez se beta (Behave yourself, son).' To this, Vanshaj immediately replied, 'Beta nahi bolna (Don't call me 'son').'
Kushal then made a shocking statement, saying, 'Mere contract mein likha hai ke main maar sakta hoon. Agar tu aggravate karega toh itna pit jaayega ke sabke saamne mar jaayega… mazaak nahi kar raha (My contract says I'm allowed to hit. If you keep provoking me, you'll get beaten so badly that you'll die in front of everyone... I'm not joking).'
An angry Vanshaj then challenged Kushal to hit him. Host Kunal Kemmu quickly stepped in to de-escalate the situation, making it clear that no contestant was allowed to hit another.
The clip from the episode quickly went viral on the internet, with many viewers criticising Kushal's behaviour. One Reddit user wrote, 'I don't like Vanshaj, but here he is not wrong. Kushal is a bully.'
