Mumbai, June 30 (NationPress) Anshula Kapoor, who was recently evicted from Karan Johar's reality show “The Traitors,” shared insights about her time on the program. In an interview with IANS, she expressed that having her ‘chachi’ Maheep Kapoor nearby offered her a crucial sense of normalcy and safety. When asked about the significance of Maheep's presence in boosting her emotional strength, Anshula stated that it made a considerable difference. She remarked, “She provided me with emotional support. I had never participated in reality TV or any long-format project prior to this. Typically, after filming, you return home to unwind. However, we were confined here, surrounded by strangers. Having Chachi there allowed me to feel a sense of normalcy and safety.”
For those unfamiliar, Maheep Kapoor and Ashish Vidyarthi were eliminated during a tense Circle of Shaq while the Traitors targeted and ousted Mukesh Chhabra. The episode also featured Raftaar's surprising exit, following an emotional breakdown by Sufi Motiwala.
Regarding her elimination, she noted, “When I was voted out, I never suspected that Elnaz could be a traitor. I defended her strongly, although not all of it made it to air. I believe that influenced people who were undecided about me—they began to doubt me because I supported her.”
“In a way, my game concluded when hers did. Nevertheless, I left with a smile. I couldn't suppress my laughter when I stood up from the Circular Shock table. I was eager to return home and speak to my brother, though I felt nervous being away from familiar faces like Maheep Chachi or Elnaaz.”
On a related note, the first season of “The Traitors” has reached its final phase. This week saw the elimination of five contestants: Anshula Kapoor, Janvee Gaur, Elnaaz Norouzi, Sufi Motiwala, and Jannat Zubair, from the Karan Johar-hosted series. The grand finale is slated to air on July 3 on Prime Video.
