Elnaaz Norouzi ‘Found A Friend' In Anshula Kapoor And Their First Reel Is Here

News185 hours ago
Elnaaz Norouzi posted a lighthearted video with Anshula Kapoor, playfully teasing the idea of her being the traitor.
Prime Video's latest reality sensation, The Traitors, kept audiences hooked over the past few weeks with its intense gameplay, dramatic twists and high-stakes betrayals. The show, hosted by Karan Johar, brought together 20 celebrity contestants to compete in a gripping battle of trust, deception and survival. Among the standout participants was Anshula Kapoor, the sister of Bollywood actor Arjun Kapoor, who successfully made it to the finale.
One of the most talked-about players, Elnaaz Norouzi, was eventually revealed as one of the traitors and was evicted from the game. Following her exit, Elnaaz took to social media to share a lighthearted yet telling moment from the show—an exchange with Anshula Kapoor that, in hindsight, seemed ironic and humorous.
In the shared video clip, Anshula is seen questioning Elnaaz directly, asking if she was a traitor. Elnaaz, maintaining her calm, denied the accusation without hesitation. Anshula, showing trust in her, replied with warmth and humour that if Elnaaz were to be evicted, she'd end up talking to the walls because no one else would be left for her. She assured Elnaaz that she believed in her innocence. The duo later recreated the scene for Instagram, mimicking the exact conversation and poking fun at the revelation that Elnaaz was, in fact, a traitor all along.
Posting the video, Elnaaz wrote in the caption, 'It's a tough game… it was really tough on me mentally as a traitor, besides strategizing at night, I'd also cry a lot in my room! But I found a friend for life Anshula Kapoor."
The playful post struck a chord with fans, highlighting both the emotional toll and genuine connections formed during the competition.
Joining Anshula in the final stretch of the game were Harsh Gujral, Apoorva Mukhija, Jasmin Bhasin, Nikita Luther, Purav Jha, Uorfi Javed and Sudhanshu Pandey—all of whom played fiercely, navigating twists and betrayals along the way.
The game's unique format divided the contestants into two secret roles—'Innocents" and 'Traitors." While the innocents had to uncover the deceivers among them, the traitors were tasked with eliminating the others without getting caught. As tensions grew, alliances formed and fractured, creating a rollercoaster of emotions and unpredictable turns.
The show premiered on June 12 at 8 PM on Prime Video, kicking off with a bang by dropping the first three episodes on the same day. Throughout ten thrilling episodes spanning four weeks, The Traitors established itself as one of the most compelling and talked-about Indian reality shows of the year.
With a compelling mix of strategy, emotion, suspense and celebrity drama, The Traitors offered a fresh and addictive viewing experience, culminating in a much-awaited finale that finally revealed the winners and brought closure to a game where trust was the ultimate gamble.

The Hunt Review: A chilling retelling of India's darkest chapter of Rajiv Gandhi's assassination case

The assassination of former Prime Minister of India, Rajiv Gandhi, on May 21, 1991, is one of the darkest chapters of Indian history. It all begins in Tamil Nadu's Sriperumbudur, a political rally that later made shockwaves across the nation. Former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi visited Sriperumbudur, and what followed was an explosion that sent the entire nation into a state of shock and mourning. The Hunt , a 7-episode series on Sony LIV, documents how the SIT (Special Investigation Team) tracks down the mastermind behind the assassination of Rajiv Gandhi. A 90-Day Manhunt Filled with Stress and Suspense The 7-episode series covers 90 days of stressful and tedious hunting and tracking down the mastermind behind Rajiv Gandhi's assassination. A special investigation team led by D.R. Kaarthikeyan, played by the brilliant Amit Sial, will keep you on your toes. His objective is to track down the assassination of Rajiv Gandhi, and he gets to choose his brightest and top guns in the field. A Cast That Holds It Together The director of the series, Nagesh Kukunoor, stars a pleasant cast, starring Sahil Vaid as SP Amit Verma, Girish Sharma as DIG Radhavinod Raju, Vidyut Garg as NSG Captain Ravindran, Bhagavathy Perumal as DSP Ragottham, and Danish Iqbal as DIG Amod Kant. The series also stars Shafiq Mustafa, Anjana Balaji, B. Sai Dinesh, Shruti Jayan, and Gauri Menon in key roles. A major strength of The Hunt is its dedication to authenticity. Much of the dialogue is in Tamil, which adds realism and immerses the viewer in the South Indian setting. Nagesh Kukunoor's decision to retain linguistic and cultural nuances helps maintain the integrity of the story. A Strong Start That Loses Pace Talking about the first two episodes, which engage the audience. On the other hand, from episode three, the series starts setting the bar low. As more characters are introduced, it becomes increasingly difficult to follow who's who. The narrative slows down, and the investigative journey begins to feel repetitive, like hitting the fast-forward button through familiar plot points. Moments That Will Leave You Breathless There are instances where you will scratch your head, intense standoffs, and interrogation scenes. The series explores these moral grey areas, particularly where officers use psychological manipulation to extract information from LTTE operatives. These elements are thoughtfully handled and add depth. Restricted Scope for a Broad Subject Amit Sial's role, though impactful, is limited. Apart from that, Sahil Vaid, who plays Amit Verma, plays a brilliant role during the crackdown following Rajiv Gandhi's assassination. Though The Hunt is based on real events, the series delves into the darkest chapter of Indian history. It misses an opportunity to delve deeper into the lives of the SIT officers or the broader socio-political context surrounding the LTTE's operations. It chooses to narrow its focus solely on the assassination. A more expansive narrative could have elevated the story from procedural thriller to historical epic. Final Verdict Despite a strong cast and gripping premise, The Hunt struggles to maintain pace and character development. The first few episodes promise intensity, but the later ones struggle to deliver a lasting impact. Still, it's a brave attempt at narrating a crucial moment in Indian history and is worth a watch for those intrigued by true-crime thrillers. Stars: 3.5/5

'Ek ladki ki teen logon ke...', This renowned filmmaker has alleged Ekta Kapoor for ruining Indian culture, his name is...

Ekta Kapoor has been in the TV industry for 30 years. She has made iconic shows like 'Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi' and 'Kahani Ghar Ghar Ki'. This is the reason why she is called the Queen of TV. Recently, filmmaker Pahlaj Nihalani has vented his anger on Ekta Kapoor and accused her of ruining Indian culture through her TV shows. Pahlaj Nihalani On Changes In Hindi Films In an interview with YouTube channel Learn from the Legends, Pahlaj Nihalani was asked what he thinks about the changes in Hindi films and how the taste of the audience has changed now. In response to this, the filmmaker said, 'Shah Rukh Khan, who was once known for romance in films like Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, is nowadays seen carrying a gun in his films. So these kinds of films are trending now.' He further said, 'Look at 'RRR,' which was based on 'Ramayana' and 'Mahabharata' and then 'Kalki 2898 AD' which was completely inspired by 'Mahabharata.' Hindustani culture is still very strong in our society. Pahlaj Nihalani Takes A Dig At Ekta Kapoor Pahlaj Nihalani further said, 'Lekin phir hamen darshakon ke roop men aisi cheezein parosi jaa rahi hain, jaise ki ek ladki ki teen logon ke saath shaadi ho rahi hai. Ekta Kapoor, the great, yahan purushon ko dobara shaadi karne ki bhi ijaajat nahin hai aur wo aurton ki teen-teen baar shaadi karwa rahi hain, to hamaari sanskṛiti barbaad ho rahi hai.' Pahlaj concluded his statement whle saying, 'Earlier, very few erotic films were released and now she is getting sex done even in the air.' More About Ekta Kapoor Ekta Kapoor entered Bollywood a few years ago through her production house Balaji Telefilms and is also making films. She has produced films like 'The Dirty Picture', 'Ragini MMS', 'Veere Di Wedding' and 'Dream Girl'. She also produced the reality show 'Lock Up' on the streaming platform Alt Balaji, in which Kangana Ranaut was seen as the host, and its first season was won by Munawar Faruqui.

‘Metro... In Dino' Box Office Collection Day 1: Anurag Basu's romantic drama opens to a modest theatrical response

Anurag Basu's long-awaited ensemble drama 'Metro... In Dino' opened in Indian cinemas on July 4, 2025, earning an estimated ₹ 3.35 crore on its first day, according to early trade figures. The film, positioned as a spiritual successor to 2007's 'Life in a... Metro', had generated moderate pre-release interest, primarily due to its star-studded cast and the nostalgia associated with Basu's original. Despite the director's reputation and a seasoned ensemble including Anupam Kher, Neena Gupta, Pankaj Tripathi, Konkona Sen Sharma, Aditya Roy Kapur, and Sara Ali Khan, the first-day response appears to have been tepid overall, particularly in terms of occupancy rates. Nationally, the Day 1 Hindi (2D) occupancy averaged around 12.72%, with a slight uptick in the evening shows (17.99%) compared to the morning (8.64%) and afternoon (14.24%) slots. Notably, there were no recorded numbers for night shows, either due to data unavailability or cancellations. Regionally, the turnout was varied. Chennai led the charts with a high 41% occupancy, followed by Bengaluru at 28.33% and Kolkata at 18.33%. The Mumbai and NCR regions—typically dependable urban markets—saw modest showings at 14.33% and 15% respectively. In contrast, cities like Surat (4%) and Ahmedabad (7%) recorded weak footfalls. 'Metro... In Dino' weaves together multiple narratives of modern love and relationships, echoing the structure of its 2007 predecessor but rooted in contemporary urban settings. Shot across major cities including Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata and Lucknow, the film explores themes of emotional distance, second chances, and the quiet complexities of everyday romance. Produced by T-Series and Anurag Basu Productions, the film blends musical storytelling with ensemble drama—a format that worked well in Life in a... Metro but now faces a more segmented and streaming-oriented audience. Whether word-of-mouth can drive weekend numbers remains to be seen, but as it stands, 'Metro... In Dino' has had a modest start at the box office.
