Mumbai: The Traitors, the reality show hosted by Karan Johar, which debuted on Prime Video on June 12th, is making headlines every other day. Unexpected evictions, high-stakes drama, and suspenseful tension greeted the debut of the thriller series. The show got off to a spectacular start in the first three episodes when four participants were eliminated, all too fast for audiences to keep pace with the show’s sinister format.

In one of the most shocking twists of events, Karan Kundrra got eliminated as he was accused of being a traitor. The elimination took place after a heated round table discussion where he got the majority of votes. However, it was later revealed that he was innocent, leaving many in utter disbelief.

Karan’s reaction: After being eliminated from the show, he said, “I’m used to a different format, you know, jisme thoda time lagta hai game samajhne mein. But yahan par, game samajhne se pehle hi itna kuch ho gaya (Where it takes some time to get to know the game. But here even before I understood the game so much happened). It was like being in hyperdrive. I really wish that day, if I had survived the Circle of Truth, I would’ve gone quite far. Because this is a very different kind of game."

The Rebel Kid’s reaction: She took to her YouTube channel to react to Kundrra’s elimination and said: Karan sort of looked like wo kuch chupa rahe hai. But aisa nahi tha yar, and then we took out Karan, and I was like so, so, so, so sad (Karan sort of looked like he was hiding something. But it was not like that, and then we took out Karan, and I was like so, so, so, so sad.

Jannat Zubair’s reaction: She seemed the most affected by Kundrra’s exit and was seen in tears post his exit. The actor, crying, said: For the longest time, I was telling everybody that I don’t think it’s him, and then I was the only one interrogating him. I am genuinely feeling very bad. He was playing so subtly, had it been anyone other than Karan, I wouldn’t have felt so bad. I think he got too scared, and that made all of us believe that he is a traitor.
