Alliance, hosted by Kunal Kemmu, premiered on June 26 and has already witnessed its first major clash between actor Kushal Tandon and content creator Vanshaj Singh. Recently, Vanshaj deliberately provoked Kushal by referring to him and Arslan Goni as "uncles" while taking a dig at their age. Tensions escalated further during the first task when Kushal threatened Vanshaj.

About Kushal Tandon, Armaan Kohli Bigg Boss Controversy
During a toy-making task on Bigg Boss 7, Kushal and Armaan had gotten into a heated verbal clash while collecting raw materials. The argument soon turned ugly, with both contestants exchanging personal remarks. Gauahar Khan, Kushal's then-girlfriend and co-contestant, intervened to assess the situation and laid down rules to control the escalating tension, but several confrontations followed.
During the heated exchange, Armaan mocked Kushal over his speech difficulties and stammering, while Kushal, in a fit of anger, hit back by calling Armaan "buddha" (old man) and a "flop actor." Armaan retaliated by using the term "kaaliya" against Kushal, a remark that also drew criticism at the time.
Years later, the old controversy has once again become a talking point among fans, with many drawing comparisons between Kushal's past actions and the current drama unfolding on Alliance.
