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.
