He stated, "Spoiler alert, you are not ready for episode 5 and episode 6. Those eliminations are the real gags." He added, "Episodes 5, 6 and 8 are the episodes to look forward to. One contestant also gets a funeral. It happens in either 5th, 6th or 8th episodes."
Sufi Motiwala comments on Karan Kundrra's eviction
Sufi noted that Karan Kundrra, who was evicted in one of the first three episodes, deserved to stay on the show. He explained that Karan was innocent but had been doubted by others. Sufi revealed that Karan was overwhelmed and unable to defend himself during the eviction. He shared a behind-the-scenes incident, saying, "When Karan's eviction was happening, there was also a technical malfunction that happened, which resulted in him not really being able to speak his whole part. This resulted in him not taking a stand for himself."

Sufi Motiwala talks about friendship with Apoorva Mukhija
Sufi Motiwala admitted that he was unprepared for his interview for The Traitors, as he had not previously watched the show's format. He expressed his shock upon receiving confirmation that he would join the show. Sufi was excited to be part of The Traitors, which he said is different from Big Brother or Bigg Boss.
Further, he revealed the first incident that stunned him on the show completely. Sufi disclosed that Apoorva told in front of Karan Johar and other contestants that she doesn't like him. He shared how this incident made him feel that he "wasn't ready" for the show, as he had received a wake-up call from Apoorva.
Sufi emphasised that while shooting for the show, it was a "do or die" situation as all contestants were living in the vast palace and their emotions were at their peak. He explained how all contestants were struggling to make it to the end, as each day 2 contestants got evicted. Revealing how he became friends with Apoorva, Sufi elaborated that he and Apoorva bonded because of their traumas and decided to stick with each other.
When asked if he and Apoorva were looked down upon for being creators, Sufi dismissed this. He mentioned that despite their arguments, he and Raftaar maintained a good bond, with Raftaar being supportive of him and Apoorva. Sufi also praised Karan Kundrra for his kindness and stated that no one looked down on them.
Regarding whether anyone played a dirty game, Sufi clarified that while there weren't any dirty tactics, many contestants were lazy. He mentioned that he, Apoorva Mukhija, Raftaar, Uorfi Javed, Purab Jha, Elnaaz Norouzi, and Janvee Gaurr were actively playing the game, whereas Ashish Vidyarthi, Anshula Kapoor, and Nikita Luther were less engaged.
Sufi Motiwala on his equation with Uorfi Javed
Revealing with whom he didn't get along on the show and after the show, Sufi said, "I think me and Uorfi (Uorfi Javed) entered the show with no bond and me and Uorfi left the show with no bond." However, he emphasised how he didn't share a special bond with her before and didn't form one after. Sufi praised Karan Johar as a mentor.
Led by Karan Johar, The Traitors premiered on June 12.

He said, 'Spoiler alert, you are not ready for episode 5 and episode 6. Those eliminations are the real gags.' He also mentioned the episodes that will see the most drama. He added, 'Episodes 5, 6 and 8 are the episodes to look forward to. One contestant also gets a funeral. It happens in either the 5th, 6th or 8th episodes.' Sufi defends Karan Kundrra Sufi, however, called Karan's elimination unfair and shared that there were many technical issues on the day of his eviction. Karan was evicted within the first three days of the show. According to him, Karan was innocent and wasn't able to properly express himself and failed to convince his fellow contestants. 'When Karan's eviction was happening, there was also a technical malfunction that happened, which resulted in him not really being able to speak his whole part. This resulted in him not taking a stand for himself,' he said. Sufi on love and hate relationship with Apoorva Makhija Sufi and Apoorva were also at loggerheads in the beginning of the show, but they soon warmed up to each other and became friends. Sufi disclosed that Apoorva had admitted to not liking him in front of Karan Johar, and that affected his mindset and made him feel he 'wasn't ready' for the show. Sufi shared that the atmosphere on set was very emotional, as the contestants were living together in a vast palace in Jaisalmer. Each day, two contestants would get evicted, and the vibe remained tense throughout. He explained that he and Apoorva bonded over their personal traumas and eventually decided to stick with each other. Sufi didn't get along with Uorfi Despite both Sufi and Uorfi having made a name in the fashion space, they didn't get along with each other on the show. The fashion critic admitted the same and said, 'I think me and Uorfi (Uorfi Javed) entered the show with no bond and me and Uorfi left the show with no bond.'

Apoorva Mukhija says police visit got her evicted from her house after India's Got Latent row: 'Building raised complaint... we don't rent out to single women'
Apoorva Mukhija, also known as Rebel Kid, has faced many problems after appearing on a reality show. She was evicted from her home and received threats. Mukhija also had a fight with Uorfi Javed on 'The Traitors'. Javed claims their fight was scripted. Mukhija says the clash began when she was crying. The feud is ongoing. Apoorva Mukhija, popularly known as Rebel Kid, has found herself at the center of multiple controversies ever since her appearance on Samay Raina's India's Got Latent. From being evicted from her home after police visits to receiving disturbing threats and facing off with co-contestant Uorfi Javed on The Traitors, the influencer's reality TV stint has spiraled into a series of real-life challenges. In a new interview with Mashable India, Apoorva revealed that she was asked to vacate her home after cops arrived to serve a notice related to an FIR. The building management used it as justification for not renting to single women, making her feel she was blamed for 'evacuating feminism' from the building. In a vlog shared in April following the controversy, Apoorva revealed she couldn't return home due to safety concerns, as her address had become public. She received disturbing threats, including graphic messages of sexual violence and acid attacks, leaving her fearful for her life. Apoorva Mukhija, currently seen on The Traitors, played a key role in eliminating the show's first traitor, Raj Kundra . However, drama soon followed as she had an off-camera showdown with co-contestant Uorfi Javed. In a vlog, Apoorva said the clash began while she was quietly crying alone, sparking an ongoing feud. Uorfi Javed has now hit back at Apoorva Mukhija, claiming their fight on The Traitors was scripted. In a social media post, Uorfi alleged the entire incident was 'planned' and said she felt misrepresented by Apoorva's exaggerated version. She also accused Apoorva of making hurtful remarks off-camera, which led to her angry reaction.
