Is Karan Johar's The Traitors SCRIPTED? Player Anshula Kapoor Reacts To Allegations (VIDEO)
Actor Arjun Kapoor's sister, entrepreneur and mental health advocate, Anshula Kapoor, is currently seen in Karan Johar-hosted reality show The Traitors. On Tuesday (June 17), she shared a video to reveal that her DM is flooded with messages about the show, however, many people have felt that the show is scripted.
In the video, Anshula clarified that they were not given any script for the show and also opened up about the behind-the-scenes of The Traitors.
"'The Traitors is scripted' - How can this be the number one DM in my DMs right now? Guys and girls, Traitors is not scripted. There was not 1 per cent of a script given to any of the 20 participants of this show," Anshula said.
Anshula reveals whether The Traitors is scripted
Further stating that the makers made sure the contestants (known as players) did not interact much with each other before the show began, Anshula said, "Let's start with everything that went down to get us to start filming that first episode. There was so much secrecy. I mean, we weren't told who our fellow participants would be."
"When we were flying from Bombay to shoot for this...on my flight, I think Elnaz Nourozi, Ashish Vidhyarthi ji, Sufi Motiwala and Jannat Zubair were there. To keep it as secret as possible, even the check-in process at the airport, we were given different slots. We were all given a shadow. Even though most of us were probably going to the same hotel, because we were 20 participants, they had divided us into two different hotels where we were first staying in," she added.
Anshula went on to say, "Two days back, we were sent to Jaisalmer via Jodhpur. And while we were getting checked in at the hotel, they literally were like, 'Okay, you'll have your phone for like three hours more'. Not just phones. All the electronic equipment. They were taking it all. It was all about isolation. Because they didn't want us to form alliances outside the show. I think that the more you trust somebody from outside because you know them, the harder it gets. And I can speak of this from personal experience."
