Gauahar Khan's Take on Mini Mathur

In a video posted on her Instagram Stories, Gauahar voiced her concerns regarding Mini's gameplay and her alliance with Kushal and Arslan, labeling the former as a bully. She expected Mini, being a seasoned member of the entertainment industry, to address Kushal's behavior directly.

Gauahar remarked, “There’s a person who has been genuine, who openly stated that we should stop playing games, and who has sacrificed for you to become an Ace. The emotional connection with Zaid is genuine, not a facade.” She emphasized, “You are manipulating Zaid, and I sincerely hope that a good person prevails over those with ill intentions.”
