Overview
- The revelation aired Wednesday on Amazon Prime Video's Alliance when contestant Aly Goni praised Sohail and Seema's sons and prompted Sohail to tell the naming story.
- Sohail said he had joked during Seema's pregnancy that he would name a boy Ram Khan, but after the birth Seema, still drowsy, asked 'How's Nirvaan doing?' and the name stuck.
- Sohail and Seema married in 1998, had two sons (Nirvaan and Yohaan), divorced in 2022, and continue to co‑parent with the children living primarily with Sohail and Seema visiting regularly.
- The anecdote follows earlier public comments from Sohail about Nirvaan's interest in acting and his preference that the son learn by observing senior actors rather than starting as an assistant director.
- The exchange underscores how Alliance is being used as a platform for intimate family stories and has framed the former couple's on‑screen reunion as warm and cooperative rather than contentious.
