Sohail Khan Shares Story Behind Naming His Eldest Son Nirvaan on AlliancePreviousNext

Bollywood actor Sohail Khan revealed on the reality show Alliance that he initially wanted to name his eldest son Ram Khan. He and his ex-wife Seema Sajdeh had jokingly decided that Sohail would name their son if it was a boy, while Seema would name a daughter. After Nirvaan's birth, Seema, still drowsy, called him by the name Nirvaan, which Sohail chose not to change. The couple, married in 1998 and divorced in 2022, have two sons and focus on co-parenting.
