The Traitors EXCLUSIVE: Sufi Motiwala reveals big SPOILER, discloses what happened behind the scenes during Karan Kundrra's eviction
The Traitors has begun, and the lineup of contestants has kept audiences intrigued. However, what has truly kept viewers on the edge of their seats are the unexpected twists and turns in the show. Recently, Pinkvilla spoke exclusively with fashion critic and popular social media influencer Sufi Motiwala. During our conversation, he dropped a major spoiler regarding the upcoming episodes of The Traitors and revealed what happened behind the scenes during Karan Kundrra's eviction.
Sufi Motiwala reveals big SPOILER
Spill beans on the spoilers, Sufi Motiwala hinted that, similar to the evictions of Raj Kundrra and Karan Kundrra, more shocking eliminations are expected in upcoming episodes. He stated, "Spoiler alert, you are not ready for episode 5 and episode 6. Those eliminations are the real gags." He added, "Episodes 5, 6 and 8 are the episodes to look forward to. One contestant also gets a funeral. It happens in either 5th, 6th or 8th episodes."
Sufi Motiwala comments on Karan Kundrra's eviction
Sufi noted that Karan Kundrra, who was evicted in one of the first three episodes, deserved to stay on the show. He explained that Karan was innocent but had been doubted by others. Sufi revealed that Karan was overwhelmed and unable to defend himself during the eviction. He shared a behind-the-scenes incident, saying, "When Karan's eviction was happening, there was also a technical malfunction that happened, which resulted in him not really being able to speak his whole part. This resulted in him not taking a stand for himself."

Sufi Motiwala talks about friendship with Apoorva Mukhija
Sufi Motiwala admitted that he was unprepared for his interview for The Traitors, as he had not previously watched the show's format. He expressed his shock upon receiving confirmation that he would join the show. Sufi was excited to be part of The Traitors, which he said is different from Big Brother or Bigg Boss.
Further, he revealed the first incident that stunned him on the show completely. Sufi disclosed that Apoorva told in front of Karan Johar and other contestants that she doesn't like him. He shared how this incident made him feel that he "wasn't ready" for the show, as he had received a wake-up call from Apoorva.
Sufi emphasised that while shooting for the show, it was a "do or die" situation as all contestants were living in the vast palace and their emotions were at their peak. He explained how all contestants were struggling to make it to the end, as each day 2 contestants got evicted. Revealing how he became friends with Apoorva, Sufi elaborated that he and Apoorva bonded because of their traumas and decided to stick with each other.
When asked if he and Apoorva were looked down upon for being creators, Sufi dismissed this. He mentioned that despite their arguments, he and Raftaar maintained a good bond, with Raftaar being supportive of him and Apoorva. Sufi also praised Karan Kundrra for his kindness and stated that no one looked down on them.
Regarding whether anyone played a dirty game, Sufi clarified that while there weren't any dirty tactics, many contestants were lazy. He mentioned that he, Apoorva Mukhija, Raftaar, Uorfi Javed, Purab Jha, Elnaaz Norouzi, and Janvee Gaurr were actively playing the game, whereas Ashish Vidyarthi, Anshula Kapoor, and Nikita Luther were less engaged.
Sufi Motiwala on his equation with Uorfi Javed
Revealing with whom he didn't get along on the show and after the show, Sufi said, "I think me and Uorfi (Uorfi Javed) entered the show with no bond and me and Uorfi left the show with no bond." However, he emphasised how he didn't share a special bond with her before and didn't form one after. Sufi praised Karan Johar as a mentor.
Led by Karan Johar, The Traitors premiered on June 12.

Karan Veer Mehra: I care about the strength of the role, not the length
Karan Veer Mehra Karan Veer Mehra is turning a new chapter in his career, shifting focus toward purposeful roles in films. The actor, who will soon be seen in Omung Kumar 's upcoming romantic action drama, is tight-lipped about the details but says, 'It's unlike anything I've done before. The film has an amazing cast, soulful music, and strong studio backing — that alone makes it an exciting opportunity. ' Following back-to-back reality show wins in Khatron Ke Khiladi and Bigg Boss — a rare combination — Karan made a conscious decision to wait for the right film rather than capitalise immediately on his newfound popularity. He says, 'After the shows, there were plenty of offers — music videos, more reality TV, brand campaigns — all with lucrative payouts. But I didn't want to jump on the bandwagon just for visibility.' Instead, he used that time to reflect on what truly fuels him. He shares, 'By society's standards, I had it all — money, fame, a fancy lifestyle. But something was missing. I realised that nothing makes me happier than performing — being on stage or in front of the camera. That led me to enroll in an advanced acting workshop. Some clips from our sessions went viral, and soon after, casting agencies and production houses began reaching out. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo It was almost as if the energy I was putting out found its way back.' Karan is now in talks for several projects, including one with a director he had long admired. He says, 'There's a filmmaker I had been trying to connect with for months. Now, we're actively discussing a potential collaboration. It's surreal, but also a reminder that persistence and preparation align at the right time.' Karan with Sushant Singh Rajput On the oft-discussed perception that television actors struggle to find substantial roles in films, he responds, 'There's some truth to that — unless someone breaks the mould. Shah Rukh Khan , Irrfan Khan, and my dear friend Sushant Singh Rajput , did exactly that. I spent a lot of time with Sushant during his early film days, and his journey remains inspiring.' Karan adds that the size of a role doesn't matter to him. 'I care about the strength of the character, not the length of screen time. I want to be part of compelling stories, and I'm ready to give it my all — even if the budget is small. For me, it's always been about the work, not the paycheck. In many ways, I feel like I'm just getting started,' he concludes.

The 59-year-old Sultan actor broke all rumours about his unfit look and appeared fitter than in recent months; however, he is still suffering from multiple health issues. During the episode, Salman candidly spoke about various health issues he was dealing with. Upon being asked about his marriage by host Kapil Sharma, Salman joked and said how difficult it is to accumulate wealth, only to risk losing half of it in a divorce. He also mentioned that at 59, he is facing several health challenges. He goes on to say that despite his health problems, he continues to work but doesn't have the energy to start from scratch anymore, in case the 'wife' decides to take 'half his money'. Salman Khan reveals he has a brain aneurysm and AV malformation The Bajrangi Bhaijaan actor, while casually speaking on the show, revealed that he is suffering from an aneurysm in the brain. He said, "Hum ye jo daily ki haddiyan tudwa rahe hain, pasliyan toot gai, trigeminal neuralgia ke sath kaam kar rahe hain, aneurysm hai brain mein uske bawajood kaam kar rahe hain. AV malformation hai, uske bawajood chal rahe hain" (I'm out here pushing through every day – with fractured ribs, working despite having trigeminal neuralgia, a brain aneurysm, and even an AV malformation. And yet, I keep going, continuing to work through it all. Trolling on social media is easy without being aware of real life situations & problems faced by the Man. 🙂May Almighty bless him ✨#SalmanKhan What are brain aneurysms and AV malformations? According to the Cleveland Clinic, a brain aneurysm is also called a cerebral aneurysm, which is a bulge in a weak area of an artery in or around the brain. The constant pressure of blood flow pushes the weakened section outward, leading to a blister-like bump. Moreover, when the blood rushes into the bulge, the condition stretches even farther, and it is similar to how a balloon gets thinner and is more likely to pop as it fills with air. According to the report, about 10 to 30 per cent of people who have a brain aneurysm suffer multiple aneurysms. AV malformation, also called arteriovenous malformation (AVM), is an unusual cluster of blood vessels resembling a bird's nest. It consists of arteries that typically supply blood to the brain and veins that usually carry blood away from the brain tissue. Is a brain aneurysm and AV malformation linked? As per the Cleveland Clinic, brain arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) and aneurysms can be linked. AVMs can lead to the development of aneurysms, which in turn raise the likelihood of bleeding (haemorrhage) and associated health complications. Symptoms of a brain aneurysm Thunderclap headache Nausea and vomiting. Stiff neck. Blurred or double vision. Sensitivity to light (photophobia). Seizures. Drooping eyelid and a dilated pupil. Pain above and behind your eye. Confusion. Weakness and/or numbness. Loss of consciousness. Symptoms of AV malformation Seizures with or without loss of consciousness. Headache. Muscle weakness or complete paralysis. Nausea and vomiting. Numbness or tingling sensation. Dizziness. Problems with movement, speech, memory, thinking, balance or vision. Mental confusion, hallucinations or dementia. Back pain or weakness in your lower body (hips) and legs to your toes. Shortness of breath during exertion. Coughing up blood Abdominal pain. Lumps on arms or legs, or on your trunk. Pain and swelling To stay updated on the stories that are going viral, follow Indiatimes Trending.

Abhishek Kumar, Rinku Dhawan, Falaq Naaz At Munawar Faruqui's First Copy Premiere
Last Updated: Munawar Faruqui debuts in Amazon's First Copy, set in the 1990s tackling movie piracy. Bigg Boss stars reunite, with Munawar and Abhishek's bond stealing the show. Munawar Faruqui finally made his OTT debut in the Amazon series First Copy. The show takes viewers back to the 1990s when people loved watching movies, but piracy was a big problem. Recently, the team came together for a special screening, where Munawar was seen welcoming the guests. Bigg Boss fans got an exciting surprise during the event when some former contestants, including Abhishek Kumar, Rinku Dhawan and Falaq Naaz, reunited on the red carpet. Among all the moments, the friendly connection between Munawar and Abhishek stood out the most and received loud cheers from the photographers. At first, Abhishek Kumar was seen posing with Rinku at the event. But when he noticed Falaq standing nearby, he quickly called her to join them. The three then smiled and posed together for the cameras. After a few clicks, the photographers requested Abhishek to pose alone and he agreed. Soon after, he called Munawar, the main star of the evening, to join him. The two posed side by side, and the comedian stood out in his stylish green blazer and matching pants. View this post on Instagram A post shared by (@tellychakkar) While appearing on Siddharth Kannan's show, earlier this month, Abhishek Kuma spoke about his bond with Munawar Faruqui and said, 'Your soul gets happy meeting him, it's that kind of bond, at least from my side. I don't know what it is from his side, but he always calls me, so obviously there must be something. From my side, the bond has grown stronger. Whenever I see him or meet him, I feel very happy. It feels nice to meet him. Bigg Boss turned out well for both of us. He won and I was the runner up." When the host joked about them being sharp when it came to girls, Abhishek laughed and shared, that Munawar gets a lot of attention from girls, while he doesn't. He also added that sometimes a certain image gets created in Bigg Boss and they can't do much about it. As per the official synopsis, First Copy follows 'Arif, a spirited young man whose magnetic charm and street-smart instinct lead him to a world where film dreams are copied, consumed, and capitalised. As ambitions grow, so do the emotional costs. First Copy is set against a cultural landscape that reflects real issues of accessibility, nostalgia, and the value of original creation. In an age where digital consumption is reshaping entertainment, the series offers a reflection on why supporting legal, creator-first content matters more than ever." Other than Munawar Faruqui, the series also stars Krystle D'Souza, Gulshan Grover, Saqib Ayub, Ashi Singh, Meiyang Chang, Inam Ul Haq and Raza Murad. First Published:
