Internet Slams Mallika Sherawat For Bringing Up Rhea Chakraborty Jail Time On The Traitors 2 Karan Johar

Bollywood actors Rhea Chakraborty and Mallika Sherawat are set to participate in The Traitors Season 2. Even before the show’s premiere, several clips from the reality show have surfaced online, giving viewers a glimpse of the drama ahead. In one of the videos, Mallika and Rhea appear to be involved in a heated exchange, with Mallika seemingly bringing up Rhea’s time in jail. Her remark has divided the internet, with some calling it “savage”, while others have criticised it as disrespectful.

In the clip, Rhea appears to be defending a contestant after he makes a remark about Mallika’s “comeback”. Rhea says, “I don’t think that was something so bad.” Mallika responds, “Oh, this is your comeback? Who is he to comment on that, Rhea? Is this game about comeback? I would also say, ‘Oh Rhea, you were in jail. This is the big comeback for you?’”

Rhea appears visibly irritated by Mallika’s comment, while the exchange has sparked a debate among viewers. Some fans called Mallika’s response savage, while others criticised her for bringing up a personal matter. One comment read, “It’s disrespectful, guys. It’s not savage or roast.” Another wrote, “I don’t think saying this is something ‘cool’, knowing she went through all of that.” A third commented, “Dragging personal things into a TV show is somehow getting glorified. Lmao.” Another wrote, “It’s not baddie behaviour, insulting someone and going personal. It’s hypocrisy and rudeness at its peak. It’s rather pathetic behaviour.”

However, Mallika also found support among viewers. One fan wrote, “Mallika is savage.” Another commented, “I am going to watch this season for her.” A third said, “The OG baddie is back.” Another fan wrote, “This looks saucy, now that’s something I am excited to watch.” The exchange has clearly created a buzz among the audience ahead of the show’s premiere.

The first season delivered a mix of drama, betrayals, strategies and gameplay, with Uorfi Javed and Nikita Luther winning the show after identifying the last remaining Traitor, Purav Jha. Now, Karan Johar is back as the host for the second season, which promises more twists, betrayals and mind games.

The celebrity line-up this season includes Aaditya Kulshreshth (Kullu), Abhishek Malhan (Fukraa Insaan), Ansh Chopra, Dalip Tahil, Harman Singha, Ikka Singh, Karan Singh Magic, Krystle D’Souza, Mallika Sherawat, Munawar Faruqui, Parul Gulati, Prish and Ranveer Brar. Rhea Chakraborty, Rida Tharana, Sahil Salathia, Shahneel Gill, Shalini Passi, Shweta Tiwari, Soundous Moufakir and Tanya Puri are also part of the new season.

The show will see Karan Johar divide the contestants into two groups: Faithfuls and Traitors. Three contestants will be secretly chosen as Traitors, who will attempt to eliminate the Faithfuls without revealing their identities. Meanwhile, the Faithfuls will have to identify and eliminate the Traitors to win the show. The Traitors Season 2 will premiere on Prime Video on August 13.
