Raftaar To Maheep Kapoor: Contestants Evicted From The Traitors This Week
The actual traitors—Purab Jha and Elnaaz Norouzi—have successfully kept their identities hidden since day one.
Karan Johar's The Traitors has quickly become one of the most gripping reality shows of the year, blending suspense, deception and nonstop drama. Streaming on Prime Video, the reality show is turning up the heat with each passing episode, and the latest one was no different. On June 19, the makers dropped the next set of episodes showing rising tensions as four innocent contestants were eliminated in a whirlwind of suspicion and betrayal.
Check below the list of contestants whose journey came to an end this week.
Mukesh Chhabra – The first shocker came when Mukesh Chhabra didn't show up for breakfast. Host Karan Johar announced that he was murdered by traitors Purab Jha and Elnaaz Norouzi at night. The two were dicey between Mukesh and Ashish Vidyarthi, but they ultimately chose the veteran actor.
Maheep Kapoor – During the heated roundtable discussion, contestants were suspicious between Raftaar and Maheep Kapoor. Many guessed that Raftar was a traitor, as he argued with most of the contestants, but another set of contestants were firm on evicting Maheep. Eventually, she ended up with the majority vote, resulting in her eviction.
Ashish Vidyarthi – As the game of 'shak' intensified, Ashish Vidyarthi became the next target. Although names like Apoorva Mukhija, Sufi Motiwala and Raftaar were under the radar of many, Ashish received the most votes for being the potential traitor and was eliminated.
Raftaar – The next roundtable brought Raftaar's journey to an end. Most of the contestants accused Raftaar of being a traitor and not Apoorva Mukhija or Sufi Motiwala. After a long discussion, several voted against him.
But later, it was revealed that all four contestants who were ousted from the show were in fact innocents. The actual traitors—Purab Jha and Elnaaz Norouzi—have successfully kept their identities hidden since day one. With traitors still lurking among them, the game's dynamics have shifted drastically, and trust continues to be the most dangerous weapon.
The first wave of eliminations saw the exit of Sahil Salathia, Lakshmi Manchu and Karan Kundrra, who were also not Traitors. Also, Raj Kundra, a traitor, was eliminated from the show.
After all evictions, the following celebrities are still in the run: Anshula Kapoor, Elnaaz Norouzi, Harsh Gujral, Jannat Zubair, Janvee Gaurr, Apoorva Mukhija, Jasmine Bhasin, Nikita Luther, Purav Jha, Uorfi Javed, Sudhanshu Pandey and Sufi Motiwala.

Sudhanshu Pandey calls out Apoorva Mukhija for insulting Ashish Vidyarthi on The Traitors: ‘Jab aapki zubaan kharaab…'

Also read: The Traitors: Maheep Kapoor gets eliminated, Sufi Motiwala and Raftaar get into an ugly fight The Anupamaa actor, who was also seen in The Traitors, expressed his views when he went live on his Instagram recently. Sudhanshu was talking about Apoorva's 'Ashish jaayega' remark in the show. Sudhanshu expressed his disapproval, questioning if Ashish was Apoorva's childhood friend, given how lightly she spoke about him on the show. He criticised her tone, stating it reflects poorly on the current generation and called it "not cool at all". Sudhanshu said, 'Apoorva, who is known as The Rebel Kid, already has enough controversies surrounding her. I'm not saying she's a bad person. She's a good kid. I'm sure she has a good heart, too. But jab aapki zubaan kharaab ho jaaye na, toh wo sab kuch kharaab kar deti hai. (Your tone and words can damage everything). Everything else goes for a toss if you do not have the know-how about what to say, and how to speak, about people who are senior to you'. 'Ashish bhai -- Ashish Vidyarthi -- who is such a senior actor -- he's very senior to me as well. So, behind my back, she was talking about Ashish bhai, and was saying, 'Mujhe lagta hai Ashish jayega'. (I feel Ashish will go),' he added. A post shared by Sudhanshu Pandey (@sudanshu_pandey) The actor confessed that he was shocked to hear her remark, as he notes, 'Is he your childhood friend or what? Is he your childhood friend? What kind of way is this to talk about people — about actors who are older than even your parents? You're talking about them like this behind their back? What does this say about you? Please tell me — is this Gen Z? Is this what we think is cool? No, I'm sorry — this is not cool at all. I think this is the biggest bullsh*t, and it's like a curse on our society'. Taking example from his personal life, Sudhanshu shared, 'Even I have kids, and even they are Gen-Z and they are extremely respectful to other people. So I am sorry, I think there are a lot of problems." The Indian adaptation of the hit Dutch reality show features Karan Johar as the host. Twenty contestants, including names like Uorfi Javed, Apoorva Mukhija, Anshula Kapoor, Raftaar, Raj Kundra, Sahil Salathia, Lakshi Manchu, and Karan Kundrra, are split into Traitors and the Faithful.
