Karan Johar’s reality series The Traitors made a dramatic debut on Prime Video, unveiling intense gameplay and unexpected twists right from the start. One of the biggest surprises came in Episode 2, where businessman and public figure Raj Kundra was revealed as one of the “traitors” and became the first contestant to be eliminated from the game. His early exit set the tone for the high-stakes deception-based show that blends strategy with psychological intrigue.
Kundra’s departure struck an emotional chord, especially with his heartfelt reflection on the experience. “I came to The Traitors to win hearts and friends,” he shared. “As I take my leave, I feel my wife is right—she says I can’t lie to save my life, and that’s not who I am. I’m glad I stayed true to myself.” His wife, actress Shilpa Shetty, had previously remarked on his honesty, a trait that may have cost him in this game of manipulation and betrayal.
Hosted by Karan Johar, The Traitors features a star-studded lineup including Karan Kundrra, Anshula Kapoor, Ashish Vidyarthi, Elnaaz Norouzi, Uorfi Javed, Raftaar, and more. The show’s format, based on the global hit, places contestants into two factions—‘faithful’ and ‘traitors’—with the former trying to identify and eliminate the latter. With the first three episodes streaming since June 13, and new ones dropping every Thursday at 8 p.m., the psychological thriller reality show promises even more twists, shifting alliances, and dramatic eliminations ahead.
