Indians react to Karan Johar's new reality show, The Traitors. ‘Have some mercy on us'
'What is this ameero ka off season Splitsvilla?' wrote one Instagram user under Karan Johar's post. Another one wrote: 'The game we played on school trips and holidays is now basically a reality show.' The trailer has generated great interest among Indian viewers, who have all started sharing their two cents on social media. New Delhi: The highly-anticipated Indian version of reality show The Traitors will see Karan Johar play host to 20 contestants. The trailer, which dropped on Thursday, will see 'Rebel Kid' Apoorva Mukhija match her wit and cunning with actor Arjun Kapoor's sister Anshula Kapoor, Shilpa Shetty's husband Raj Kundra, Maheep Kapoor from Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives, and other celebrities. People have also started naming their favourite contestants, such as influencer Apoorva Mukhija; others have compared it to the multiplayer online game 'Among Us'. Johar's post has garnered over 23,000 likes in five hours, and has 21,700 reshares so far. The Traitors The treachery and trickery will unfold at Suryagarh Palace in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan. The show will stream on Amazon Prime Video starting 12 June, with new episodes every Thursday at 8 pm. The three-minute trailer also features Telugu actress Lakshmi Manchu, and television stars Jannat Zubair, Jasmin Bhasin, and Karan Kundrra. All the contestants have a spicy backstory. Mukhija's remarks on Samay Raina's YouTube show India's Got Latent with podcaster Ranveer Allahbadia triggered social media outrage and led to multiple FIRs. Uorfi Javed is known for her daring costumes and her own reality TV show, Follow Kar Lo Yaar (2024). The Traitors will also feature fashion commentator Sufi Motiwala, who is represented by Karan Johar's Dharma Cornerstone Agency (DCA). They all have a single objective: to win the Rs 1 crore prize money after completing a series of physical and psychological missions. Players marked 'innocents' must find and eliminate the 'traitors' from among them, who will be secretly chosen at the beginning of the show by host Karan Johar. The reality show is based on the Dutch series De Verraders (2021), which has iterations in 30 countries. The American version is hosted by Alan Cumming and the British version by Claudia Winkleman. Game of trust, deception In the trailer, Karan Johar is dressed head-to-toe in a black, magician-like ensemble. Viewers are privy to snatches of contestants trying to figure out who the traitors are. In the clip, Uorfi Javed vows to shave her head if found to be a 'traitor', while rapper Raftaar, also a contestant on the show, says that he will 'stop rapping'. 'Yaha trust is rare, but dhoka everywhere (Trust is rare here, but deception is everywhere),' declares Johar. Some people, however, have criticised the Bollywood filmmaker for taking up the project. 'You'll do anything at this point to avoid directing a movie…who are you Riri? Wrote one Instagram user. Another one expressed disappointment at the content itself: 'Indians are fed up of seeing content like this! With the likes of Karan Johar and others! Same thing, old wine, new bottle. Have some mercy on us and give us good content.' (Edited by Zoya Bhatti)

Karan Johar says he ‘lost all trust' in Maheep Kapoor after The Traitors; Raj Kundra jokes about using the ‘nepo husband' card
As if the world hadn't already been gripped enough by the globally acclaimed reality show The Traitors, Amazon Prime Video India is set to launch its own adaptation. The official trailer of the show dropped today on YouTube, generating significant buzz, especially with Karan Johar revealed as the host. Speaking at the trailer launch event, Karan described the show as one 'characterised by lies, deceit, betrayal, and a whole lot of drama!' He went on to call its structure 'the best format of any reality show in the world.' Karan also mentioned Maheep Kapoor, who gained notoriety through his Netflix-produced reality series Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives. She returns to reality TV as one of the contestants on The Traitors. Reacting to her involvement, the filmmaker quipped, 'I can't really trust her with anything now,' referencing the deceptive nature of the game. Another prominent face in the lineup is Apoorva Makhija, marking her first public appearance after the India's Got Latent controversy. Speaking at the event, she remarked: 'I think people just think being a red flag is about lying, manipulation and deception, and all of that is true. But to require that, you need brains, which unfortunately most of these people don't have. So I don't know if I'm the biggest red flag, but I use one more brain cell at all times.' Also turning heads was influencer and fashion commentator Sufi Motiwala, who offered a bold self-description: 'You expect me to be nice, but I play dirty in this game. Imagine if Rakhi Sawant and Paris Hilton had a baby — that's what I'm giving on this show, and that is a 10 on 10.' A post shared by SCREEN (@ieentertainment) Among the most unexpected contestants is businessman Raj Kundra. Known for his public appearances in a face mask, he commented on how the mystery surrounding him could work in his favour: 'Jabhi maine mask pehna hai, logon ko laga hai ki main kya chhupaa raha hoon. Ek mystery hai, and that mystery might help me in this game. Ye Kalyug ka show hai Traitors, nobody knows who is your friend and enemy. Toh yahi strategy lekar, I hope jo ye mystery hai woh mujhe help karegi. Aur last but not least, Karan sir host kar rahe hain… toh woh 'nepo husband' waala card toh zarur use karunga (Whenever I've worn the mask, people wonder what I'm hiding. There's a mystery, and that might help me here. This is a show for the age of Kalyug — no one knows who's a friend or enemy. I'm entering with a strategy, and I hope the mystery works in my favour. And since Karan sir is hosting, I'm definitely going to play the 'nepo husband' card).' Making her reality debut is Anshula Kapoor, sister of actor Arjun Kapoor. Reflecting on her persona, she said, 'I might look innocent and calm, I may look cute even, but acting toh humare khoon mein hai… and killing it with a little bit of confidence and a smile on my face is my forte.' Set to premiere on June 12, The Traitors will drop new episodes every Thursday at 8 pm., culminating in a high-stakes grand finale. The show features a fiery lineup of 20 contestants: Anshula Kapoor, Apoorva Makhija, Ashish Vidyarthi, Elnaaz Norouzi, Harsh Gujral, Jannat Zubair, Janvi Gaur, Jasmine Bhasin, Karan Kundrra, Lakshmi Manchu, Maheep Kapoor, Mukesh Chhabra, Nikita Luther, Purav Jha, Raftaar, Raj Kundra, Sahil Salathia, Sudhanshu Pandey, Sufi Motiwala, and Uorfi Javed — each navigating a game built on deception, manipulation, and strategy.
