Following Seema's entry, Sohail took responsibility for the breakdown of their marriage. Later, Seema referred to him as her "only ally" in the house. Sohail was also seen making green tea for Seema when Nikhil Chinappa asked him, "Aurat ghar ko bigaad bhi sakti hai aur bana bhi sakti hai. Aapke ghar mein kiska haath tha?" (A woman can either make or break a home. Who was responsible in your case?)

Opening up about their separation, Sohail said, "At that time, kaam theek nahi chal raha tha (my work wasn't going well), so I wasn't in the right frame of mind. Because of my behaviour, I lost someone I truly loved."

He added, "She is the mother of my two beautiful children, so more than love, I have immense respect for Seema. This will always remain a memorable show for me. Though we are separated, this show has brought us back together to talk and confide in one another. There was a missing link between us, and this show helped reconnect it."

Seema later revealed that their younger son, Yohan, is supporting her on the show, while their elder son, Nirvaan, wants Sohail to win the competition.

In a later conversation with Zaid Darbar, Sohail shared that both their sons live with him, while Seema visits his house three times a week to spend time with them. He also revealed that she still has a key to his house.
