On The Traitors, Apoorva Mukhija skewers Uorfi Javed for saying they are not on same level

The first episode of The Traitors dropped on Prime Video on 12 June, and it already has people hooked. Right on day one, we see a rift brewing between contestants Uorfi Javed and Apoorva Mukhija on the Karan Johar-hosted show. Apoorva's fans, however, hope that Uorfi gets a reality check as the show progresses.

Uorfi and Apoorva discuss their rift in the first episode of The Traitors. Apoorva says, 'I've been feeling weird for a night or two about my home. I was anxious and crying by myself. Uorfi kept asking me what was wrong. I didn't want to draw attention to it, so I asked her to stay quiet for a few minutes. That's all that happened, but she got mad at me for it. She spoke about her level, but I think neither her height nor her brain has grown. I don't think I need to talk to her, and I'm very happy that way.'
Uorfi, for her part, believes that Apoorva is not on 'her level' in her career, so she needs to respect her. She says, 'She was upset after the mission. So I asked her what happened. She got irritated. So I told her, if you're the kind of person who's going to snap, then I don't want to be your friend. And I don't wish to speak to you. And she says, not everything is about you. I am at a certain level, and I do not like people speaking to me like this. This…she's not at my level. She needs to respect me. She's my junior.'
If the reaction to the episode on Reddit is anything to go by, people are on Apoorva's side over Uorfi in the rift now. One person wrote, 'Who's gonna tell urfi that there are others on the same show who are far more successful than she is and yet they don't act this entitled? Someone needs to burst her bubble and let her know that apoorva is just as, if not more, successful and famous. Stop disappointing us urfi.'
Another thought she needed to be 'humble', 'Uorfi has that main character syndrome. She is behaving the in same way how she did in her series (forgot the name). This rude behavior is not going to take her anywhere. Humble down a bit girll.' A person even thought Uorfi was showing her true colour in The Traitors than she did in Follow Kar Lo Yaar, 'Urfi is far more real in this show than "follow karlo". I honestly think she joined the show thinking it's going to be a cake walk and is clearly losing the plot. Such underwhelming personality.'
The Indian edition of The Traitors features 20 contestants – Purav Jha, Karan Kundrra, Harsh Gujral, Ashish G Vidyarthi, Apoorva aka Rebel Kid, Uorfi Javed, Jasmine Bhasin, Lakshmi Manchu, Raftaar, Elnaaz Norouzi, Nikita Luther, Anshula Kapoor, Raj Kundra, Janvi Gaur, Maheep Kapoor, Jannat Zubair, Mukesh Chhabra, Sudhanshu Pandey, Sahil Salathia, and Sufi Motiwala.
The show features a group of contestants divided into the Traitors, who must work together to eliminate the other group of contestants called the Faithfuls. The Faithfuls are tasked with discovering who the Traitors are and voting them out before they're 'murdered' in the game. The original iteration of the reality show is Dutch, called De Verraders. American and British versions of the show also exist.

Samay Raina's India's Got Latent returns to YouTube; Months after controversy: Fans call it 'Best comeback ever'

After a turbulent four-month hiatus, comedian Samay Raina's popular YouTube talent show India's Got Latent has quietly staged a digital comeback—this time through a new clips channel. The return comes months after a major controversy involving fellow YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia forced the original channel to pull down all content and sparked legal action. The Controversy that took the show offline Earlier in 2025, India's Got Latent found itself at the center of a public and legal firestorm after Ranveer Allahbadia allegedly made an inappropriate comment to a contestant. The backlash was swift and severe and the FIRs were reportedly filed not only against Ranveer but also co-panelists Samay Raina, Apoorva Mukhija, and Ashish Chanchlani . The fallout prompted Samay to take down all episodes from his official channel. He further released a statement expressing emotional exhaustion and regret. 'Everything that is happening has been too much for me to handle,' he wrote. 'My only objective was to make people laugh and have a good time.' A Quiet Comeback With Loyal Support Now, the show's revival on a separate platform—India's Got Latent Clips—has taken the internet by surprise. Including public and previously members-only content, over 500 videos are reuploaded. Fans are celebrating the return. The comment sections are overflowing with enthusiasm, with messages like 'Finallyyyyyyyy… comeback ho hi gaya Latent ka' and 'Best comeback everrr.' While the revival lacks the pomp of a full-scale relaunch, it indicates that the show's core community has remained firmly in place. What's Next for Samay Raina? Even as India's Got Latent finds its way back into the YouTube algorithm, host Samay Raina is far from idle. The comedian is currently on an international stand-up tour that spans Europe, the UK, Australia, and New Zealand. The tour kicked off on June 5 and will wrap up in Sydney on July 20.
