The Traitors: Is Anshula Kapoor And Maheep Kapoor's Alliance About To End?
The Traitors, the Karan Johar-hosted reality show, has finally begun and kept the audience on the edge of their seats with its unique gameplay and unexpected plot twists. Streaming on Amazon Prime Video, the show features a group of 20 celebrities competing as they navigate a series of challenges and betrayals. Hidden amongst the 'innocent' players are the 'traitors' who are out to hunt each night.
After the first three episodes, viewers can already see cracks in the alliances, especially among the strongest duo, Anshula Kapoor and her 'chachi' Maheep Kapoor. Both of them are looking to fall apart since the latter accused her aunt of being a 'traitor.'
Anshula, who had full faith in her chachi (aunt) Maheep in the first episode, is now questioning her decisions. In the third episode, Boney Kapoor's daughter confronted Maheep and said, 'I have a feeling it's you (traitor)," leaving her shocked.
She added, 'You already knew that many people believe you are a traitor. The only reason I believe it is you is that you earlier said you are not going to let anyone kick me out of the competition until you are in it. How could you say it so confidently?"
Explaining her statement, Maheep said, 'I packed my bags last night, knowing that I was going to be evicted today. The traitors understand that if I were one of them, I would never abandon you because I am your chachi. If I were a traitor, I wouldn't be dumb about it and tell you that you're safe. What do I care?"
However, despite her clarification, Anshula appeared unconvinced and told her co-participants about Maheep's commitment to keeping her in the game and expressed her doubts that she could be a traitor.
Apart from them, the remaining contestants on The Traitors include, Purav Jha, Mukesh Chhabra, Apoorva, Ashish Vidyarthi, Elnaaz Nourouzi, Harsh Gujral, Jannat Zubair, Jasmine Bhasin, Nikita Luther, Raftaar, Sudhanshu Pandey, Sufi Motiwala and Uorfi Javed.
Karan Kundrra, Raj Kundra, Sahil Salathia and Lakshmi Manchu have been eliminated from the show. It will premiere new episodes every Thursday.

Did Alia Bhatt Just Confirm Her Alpha Spy Cameo In War 2? Here's Why Fans Think So
Alia Bhatt hints at possible Alpha cameo in War 2 with a cryptic Instagram post. Fans speculate after her 'See you on 14th' message goes viral. With War 2 gearing up for its grand release on August 14, the trailer of the much-anticipated YRF Spy Universe instalment dropped earlier today, promising explosive action, cinematic scale, and a dose of patriotic fervour. Starring Hrithik Roshan, Jr NTR, and Kiara Advani, and directed by Ayan Mukerji, the film is already drawing massive attention — but it was Alia Bhatt's cheeky reaction that sent fans into a frenzy. Taking to her Instagram story, Alia re-shared the War 2 trailer and wrote, 'Mazedaaaaaar 🔥🔥🔥 See you on the 14th. In a cinema near meee." While the message may seem like a routine show of support at first glance, the specific mention of August 14 and her playful tone have only intensified speculation about her cameo in the film's post-credit scene. The buzz around Alia's entry into the YRF Spy Universe has been swirling for months, particularly with the announcement of Alpha — YRF's first-ever female-led spy film, co-starring Sharvari Wagh, set to release on December 25, 2025. According to a report by India Today, both Alia and Sharvari are said to appear in a mysterious post-credit cameo in War 2 — one that subtly teases the narrative of Alpha. 'It's short, yes, but it has tension, mystery, and a hint of what these two women are capable of. It's not just a cameo — it's a setup," a source told the outlet. Another insider revealed that the cameo was filmed under tight security earlier this year, with only a handful of crew members on set to preserve the secrecy. While Yash Raj Films has not officially confirmed Alia and Sharvari's involvement in War 2, fans are already connecting the dots — and Alia's Instagram story has only added fuel to the fire. If true, this would mark a strategic expansion of the YRF Spy Universe, tying the past (Tiger, Pathaan, War) with the future (Alpha) through seamless narrative integration. Directed by Shiv Rawail, Alpha is expected to mark a new era in Bollywood's action genre, showcasing female spies at the centre of a sprawling espionage saga. As the release of War 2 draws closer, all eyes are not just on Hrithik and Jr NTR — but also on the shadows, where the Alpha spies may quietly be preparing to make their move.
