Trust no one

When it comes to a game of trust, betrayal and high-stakes deception, every glance, pause and word carries weight. In a psychological reality show such as The Traitors, where strategy is key and suspicion runs deep, the role of the host is far from ornamental — it is vital. Enter Karan Johar. With his trademark charisma, wit and intelligence, he is the ideal figure to steer this tension-filled series. Set against the backdrop of a majestic palace, The Traitors brings together 20 celebrity contestants in a high-stakes game of trust, manipulation and mind games. As alliances crack and doubts escalate, Johar remains the constant: silent, observant and unreadable. He says almost nothing — yet he changes everything. With decades of experience crafting narratives and hosting, Johar knows drama inside out. His understanding of character, motive, and tension — paired with his innate sense of what keeps audiences captivated — makes him uniquely suited to this world of strategy and suspicion. Produced by BBC Studios India Productions, The Traitors marks the Indian adaptation of IDTV’s globally acclaimed format, developed in collaboration with All3Media International. The show has won both BAFTA and Emmy awards, and now makes its way to Indian screens. The show will stream on Prime Video from June 12 with new episodes every Thursday at 8 pm.
