The Traitors, helmed by Karan Johar, continues to grip audiences with its sharp twists and intense mind games. This celebrity-packed series has quickly become one of the most talked-about reality web shows, not just for its unique format but for the unpredictable turns it throws at its contestants. After premiering its first three episodes on June 12, the next set arrived yesterday, June 19, delivering yet another wave of drama and shocking exits.
Set against the grand backdrop of Rajasthan, the show boasts a star-studded lineup from film, television, and digital platforms. As each episode unfolds, the game’s brutal nature ensures that alliances shift, friendships fracture, and contestants live in constant paranoia.
Yesterday’s episodes raised the stakes higher than ever. The episode opened with the contestants gathering at the Circle of Shaq, one after another. Tension filled the room as they waited to see who might be missing. When Mukesh Chhabra didn’t show up, Karan Johar announced that Mukesh had been “murdered” overnight. The Traitor pair had debated eliminating either Ashish Vidyarthi or Mukesh but ultimately chose Mukesh as their target. The decision was strategic and well-calculated, leaving the group stunned and suspicious.
The day’s tension carried straight into the round table meeting. Contestants went back and forth debating possible suspects. Raftaar found himself at the center of heated discussions, with many accusing him of deception. Meanwhile, another group remained convinced that Maheep Kapoor was playing a double game. Despite Raftaar’s attempts to defend himself, the votes piled up against Maheep. With divided opinions and rising tempers, Maheep Kapoor was eliminated from the game.
The next cycle of suspicion didn’t spare anyone. Names like Apoorva Mukhija, Sufi Motiwala, and Raftaar resurfaced during debates. But it was Ashish Vidyarthi who ended up drawing the maximum votes. Despite several contestants doubting others more vocally, Ashish bore the brunt of the group’s mistrust.
As the episodes progressed, Raftaar’s position grew even more precarious. The rapper and performer had been under scrutiny for a while, and by the next circle of accusations, he was once again labeled a potential traitor. Contestants including Sufi Motiwala and Apoorva Mukhija were also named, but this time the group’s focus stayed firmly on Raftaar. No amount of explanation could save him, and he was voted out. The dramatic twist came when it was revealed that all four of the night’s evictees, Mukesh, Maheep, Ashish, and Raftaar were actually innocents.
The true Traitors, Purab Jha and Elnaaz Norouzi, had managed to maintain their cover effortlessly. From the very first episode, the duo carefully steered suspicions away from themselves while cleverly manipulating the other contestants’ doubts.
Before these eliminations, the show had already bid farewell to Sahil Salathia, Raj Kundra, Lakshmi Manchu, and Karan Kundrra in earlier episodes. The list of remaining contestants grows thinner, but the drama only thickens.
Now left in the game are Anshula Kapoor, Elnaaz Norouzi, Harsh Gujral, Jannat Zubair, Janvee Gaurr, Apoorva Mukhija, Jasmine Bhasin, Nikita Luther, Purab Jha, Uorfi Javed, Sudhanshu Pandey, and Sufi Motiwala. With suspicions rising and alliances crumbling, viewers can only guess who will outwit the rest and who will fall victim to The Traitors’ schemes next.
