The reality show "The Traitors" on Amazon Prime Video has seen its fair share of drama, twists, and early exits, and Karan Kundrra's elimination has particularly stirred up reactions, including one from his girlfriend, Tejasswi Prakash.
Karan Kundrra's journey on "The Traitors," hosted by Karan Johar, was unexpectedly cut short, leaving many, including Tejasswi, surprised. Kundrra himself expressed his shock at the swiftness of the game, admitting that he was used to formats where he had more time to understand the dynamics. He felt he was eliminated even before he could grasp the intricacies of the show. According to Hindustan Times, Karan said, “I'm used to a different format, you know, jisme thoda time lagta hai game samajhne mein. But yahan par, game samajhne se pehle hi itna kuch ho gaya (Where it takes some time to get to know the game. But here even before I understood the game so much happened). It was like being in hyperdrive. I really wish that day, if I had survived the Circle of Truth, I would've gone quite far. Because this is a very different kind of game."
While Tejasswi Prakash's exact words haven't been directly quoted in available news articles, the sentiment "This game is not for you" reflects a supportive stance, similar to Shilpa Shetty's reaction to Raj Kundra's elimination. It suggests a belief that the cutthroat nature and reliance on deceit in "The Traitors" might not align with Karan's personality or strengths.
Several contestants have already been eliminated from "The Traitors," including Sahil Salathia, Raj Kundra, and Lakshmi Manchu. Raj Kundra's elimination was particularly noteworthy as he was identified as one of the "traitors." He acknowledged that his inability to lie ultimately led to his downfall, echoing his wife, Shilpa Shetty's, sentiment that he couldn't lie to save his life.
Karan Kundrra's unexpected departure has generated considerable buzz among fans, with many expressing disappointment and questioning the rationale behind his elimination. Some viewers felt he was a strong contender and criticized the other contestants for their decision. Jannat Zubair, another contestant, was visibly upset by Karan's exit.
Despite his early eviction, Karan Kundrra seems to have taken the experience in stride, acknowledging the unique and intense nature of "The Traitors." He spoke about the show's brutality in an interview with News18, saying, "Aapko kuch pata nahi chalta, kaun kiski peeth pe peeche kya bol raha hai (You never really know who's saying what behind someone's back). But that is the beauty of the show. You never know who is playing who."
The reality show continues to unfold with new episodes every Thursday, revealing more twists and turns as contestants navigate the treacherous landscape of trust and betrayal. The game revolves around manipulation, hidden alliances, and psychological warfare, where contestants are secretly divided into 'Faithful' and 'Traitors'. "The Traitors" is keeping viewers on the edge of their seats with its high-stakes suspense and dramatic eliminations.
