In the upcoming episode of Alliance, Salman Khan is set to revisit one of the most difficult chapters of his life. In a candid conversation, the actor will speak about how the process of bail and him going in and out left him emotionally drained. He also made a surprising confession about wanting to extend his stay. As readers would know, Salman is a special guest in the finale week, to motivate his younger brother Sohail Khan.
A source associated with the show exclusively told India Today that while speaking to the contestants, Salman reflected on the uncertainty surrounding his bail. He shared that every time his legal team applied for bail, he was prepared for the possibility of it being revoked. After a point, he stopped thinking about going out only to return to jail again.
However, when he was finally informed that he would not have to come back, Salman admitted he had mixed emotions. The actor jokingly revealed that he almost wished his stay had been extended by another four or five days. The reason being that the strict prison routine had helped him get into incredible shape.
According to the source, Salman shared that life inside jail was stripped down to the basics. With regular workouts and simple meals provided in prison, he had become “so ripped” that he jokingly didn’t want the routine to end so soon.

In such a tiny space, there were around 50 to 70 people crammed together, with just one Indian-style toilet. There were lizards everywhere, and to make things worse, the toilet was overflowing with water and waste),” he says, painting a grim picture of the prison conditions.
