Before The Traitors Season 2 premieres, Karan Johar shared the latest sneak peek from the show. It shows that the contestants have barely entered the palace and the trust issues are already piling up. The new footage gives a pretty good idea of just how messy things could get this season.

With Karan Johar returning as host, 21 contestants will enter the game where identifying the hidden Traitors is the key to survival.

Why Is Rhea Chakraborty Warning Everyone About The Crowd?

Rhea Chakraborty seems to be thinking beyond the obvious accusations. Instead of simply throwing out a name, she points towards the danger of contestants blindly accepting whatever the majority believes.

During a discussion, Rhea warns, “Bhed chaal mein kheloge, toh innocent jaate jayega.”

Her concern is that following the crowd could result in the wrong people being eliminated while the actual Traitors quietly continue playing their game.

Has Abhishek Malhan Already Lost His Patience?

Abhishek Malhan does not appear to have much patience for what he sees as weak gameplay. In one heated exchange, he questions whether anyone is actually trying to find the Traitors.

He says, “Traitor kon dhund raha hai? Kisika dimaag chalta hai yahanpe saala traitors kon hai?”

His frustration continues when he dismisses the Innocents by saying, “Koi aukaat nahi hai Innocents ki.”

Why Is Mallika Sherawat In Tears?

Mallika Sherawat entered the show with plenty of confidence. In an earlier trailer, she had already laid down her approach to the game, saying, “Iss game mein sach zaroori nahi hai, convincing hona zaroori hai.”

But the new sneak peek shows that even someone who understands the importance of deception can find the atmosphere overwhelming.

Mallika is seen getting emotional during breakfast and says, “It’s too wicked, yaa.” Later, she describes the experience by saying, “This is deception on another level.”

What Happened Between Parul Gulati And Abhishek Malhan?

There is also some friction between Parul Gulati and Abhishek. Parul makes a rather confident statement about her own personality, saying, “Raajma mein kadhi zyaada hai… jo main hoon.”

Abhishek clearly isn’t impressed by the comparison and responds, “Mereko kya hai tu kadhi hai ya sambaar hai… kya hai yaar.”

Who Does Mallika Sherawat Think Is A Traitor?

Mallika doesn’t seem interested in keeping her suspicions to herself. She directly points towards Munawar Faruqui, saying, “Munawar traitor hai.”

Sahil Salathia has a completely different theory. He says, “Mujhe aisa lagta hai Shweta aur Rhea Traitors hai.”

That puts both Shweta Tiwari and Rhea Chakraborty under suspicion.

Meanwhile, Harman Singha is seen challenging another contestant during the Circle of Shaq. He asks, “How do you know 100% that he’s not a traitor?”

Why Does Abhishek Malhan Call The Game Tough?

For all his confidence, Abhishek also admits that the format is not exactly a walk in the park.

He says, “Bhai, kasam khuda ki yaar, bohot tough game hai.”

The contestant also takes a direct shot at Munawar, saying, “When there is Munawar Faruqui and Abhishek Malhan, only Abhishek Malhan wins.”

Who Are The Contestants In The Traitors Season 2?

The new season brings together 21 contestants from different corners of the entertainment industry. The lineup includes Rhea Chakraborty, Munawar Faruqui, Abhishek Malhan, Shweta Tiwari, Mallika Sherawat, Krystle D’Souza, Shalini Passi, Dalip Tahil, Parul Gulati, Sahil Salathia, Ansh Chopra, Rida Tharana, Aaditya Kulshreshtha aka Kullu, Prish, Shahneel Gill, Harman Singha, Ikka, Soundous Moufakir, Taniya Puri, Ranveer Brar and Karan Singh.
