Arjun Kapoor is expressing immense pride and support for his sister, Anshula Kapoor, as she participates in the reality show 'The Traitors', which premiered on Amazon Prime Video on June 12. The actor shared a heartfelt message on Instagram, highlighting this as another significant step in her journey of self-discovery.
Arjun Kapoor took to his Instagram stories to re-share a post by Anshula. The image showed Anshula sitting in front of the television with “The Traitors” playing. Arjun captioned it: "She's forming & forging her own path... this one is another milestone on her journey of discovering who & what she is... So cool!!! Super proud & happy for her."
"The Traitors," hosted by Karan Johar, features a diverse cast of 20 celebrities, including Maheep Kapoor, Karan Kundrra, Raj Kundra, Jasmine Bhasin, Ashish Vidyarthi, Elnaaz Nourouzi, Harsh Gujral, Jannat Zubair, Janvi Gaur, Lakshmi Manchu, Mukesh Chhabra, Nikita Luther, Purav Jha, Raftaar, Sahil Salathia, Sudhanshu Pandey and Sufi Motiwala. The show is an Indian adaptation of the BAFTA and Emmy Award-winning format.
The premise of "The Traitors" involves a group of contestants, some of whom are secretly designated as "traitors" by the host, Karan Johar. The other contestants, known as "faithfuls," must work together to identify and eliminate the traitors before they are all picked off. The contestants compete in challenges to add money to a prize pot, which the remaining contestants will win. Lies, deceit, and betrayal characterize the show as contestants navigate a complex web of alliances and suspicion.
The release of the trailer sparked considerable buzz, especially concerning a particular line delivered by Anshula Kapoor, which some believe was directed at her aunt, Maheep Kapoor. In the trailer, Anshula says, "Aapka koi saga nahi hai, aapko sab thugne aaye hain?" This translates to "No one is yours, everyone is here to deceive you." This dialogue ignited speculation about a potential family feud playing out on screen. Arjun Kapoor humorously acknowledged this possibility by tagging Maheep Kapoor in his Instagram story and expressing that he "can't wait for the family feud to begin."
The series is filmed against the backdrop of the Suryagarh Palace in Rajasthan, adding a regal and dramatic setting to the psychological gameplay. Karan Johar described the show as one where he enjoys orchestrating the gameplay and watching the chaos, conflicts, and conspiracies unfold.
Anshula Kapoor has also been recognized as a body positivity advocate. Her participation in "The Traitors" marks a new chapter as she steps into the world of reality television, taking on challenges that test her wit and strategic abilities.
