Ali Mercchant confesses cheating on Sara Khan

He said, “I was about 23 at that time. Our generation at that time, we were very kiddish, and immature. I thought it would be a great opportunity to make history as the first couple to get married on a reality show. And when two people are in love, the next step is to get married. The wedding took place and then I came out of the Bigg Boss house. Before the show, we were living in for two years. After I came out of the show, I realised there were a lot of issues between our families. Main pagal ho gaya tha (I had gone mad). I couldn’t figure out what to do. When I had left the show, she was being linked up with co-contestant Ashmit Patel."

Furthermore, Ali Mercchant revealed how he cheated on Sara khan during a trip to Delhi and got carried away after meeting a girl. While adding how he was regretting the same, he mentioned that he wanted to share it with Sara but he couldn't because she was still in the show. Adding to it, he revealed how that girl somehow got in touch with Sara and exposed him. He stated, "Then I went to Delhi on a trip. I was in a club and I got carried away. I met a girl, we spoke over the phone. We met and I got carried away and I regretted a lot. I wanted to share with her. She was still in the show. So that girl got in touch with her maamu and they told her (Sara). So it was all out in the media. Before I could damage control, the media was there and everything started falling apart. So then we separated."
