Clarifying the Friendship

Recently eliminated from Prime Video's show Alliance, Sabby Suri has responded to Dolly Javed's comments regarding a supposed "fake love angle" involving her and Kushal Tandon. Sabby emphasized that their relationship is purely platonic, rooted in friendship and mutual respect. She expressed confusion over the origin of such rumors, suggesting that even Kushal would be taken aback by them. Additionally, she shared insights into their lighthearted interactions on the show.

Sabby Suri On Romantic Connection With Kushal Tandon

"Dolly's statement is untrue. I read her claim about a love angle between Kushal and me, but what love angle? Did anyone actually witness any romantic connection? There was nothing of the sort. We never had late-night chats expressing feelings or shared intimate moments. We didn't even strategize together," she stated in an exclusive interview with ^{Telly Talk India.} Sabby elaborated on their camaraderie, saying, "We would engage in bhangra, perform gidda, or have light-hearted chats about nominations. Occasionally, I would jokingly call him 'Kushal ji.' It was all in good fun, and everyone was aware of that. I can't fathom where this alleged love angle originated. Kushal will be surprised to hear this once he exits the show, as nothing of that nature occurred."

Kushal Tandon Genuinely Cared For Me: Sabby Suri

When asked about Kushal's flirtations, Sabby reminisced, "Yes, there might have been some playful banter in the first week. I might not have given him much attention, leading him to make those comments. I recall a game we played one Sunday to alleviate boredom, where we described each other's 'type.' I mentioned I prefer intelligent and tall guys, jokingly telling Kushal, 'You're not my type.' He responded by saying he doesn't date girls from the industry and would rather be with someone simple from outside it."

Sabby speculated that this might explain Kushal's remark about her not being his type. She noted that perhaps her lack of interest played a role, and sometimes ego influences such comments. However, she affirmed that one thing is clear - Kushal truly cared for her. She mentioned that during her low moments, he was among the few who showed genuine concern.
