The Traitors' Sufi Motiwala on Jasmine Bhasin calling him selfish for choosing money in a task: She's not going to pay my bills
Sufi Motiwala
, who was recently eliminated from The Traitors (India), made waves during his final episodes — not just for his sharp tongue but also for a bold decision that sparked friction among contestants. In a
high-stakes challenge
, he was paired with
Jasmine Bhasin
and faced a choice: take home ₹10 lakh for himself, claim a shield to ensure immunity from being murdered that night, or contribute ₹5 lakh to the collective team kitty. Sufi chose the money — a decision Jasmine and some others saw as selfish. But he sees it differently.
He says, 'I don't think it's selfish. I don't think it's shallow. I just think it's thinking about self. At the end of the day, I don't know Jasmine Bhasin. Jasmine Bhasin is not going to pay my bills. Jasmine Bhasin wants to play with the team, so that's her decision, not mine. I wanted to play for myself.'
He stands by what he said on the show. '
Mujhe bas ek
sexy phone, a beautiful vacation, some really lovely clothes, and a designer bag — that's all I could visualise in that ₹10,00,000. If I started caring about what people said about me, I wouldn't be here.'
While his solo gameplay raised eyebrows, Sufi was no slouch when it came to identifying potential Traitors. He was quick to call out Raj Kundra and also had his suspicions about Purav Jha — the very contestant who ended up 'murdering' him in the game. He says, 'I had my eyes on Raj Kundra. Similarly, I had my eyes on Purav Jha as well, the Traitor who ended up murdering me. At the end of the day, it's a game, and the butterfly effect in the house was so magical that even the smallest thing could have altered the entire result. So, I have no regrets. I'm very, very happy that it started the way it did and ended the way it did.'

Anshula Kapoor reveals she blamed herself for Boney Kapoor and Mona Shourie's separation: ‘When Jaanu (Janhvi Kapoor) was born, thought I wasn't a good enough daughter'
Anshula Kapoor, daughter of film producer Boney Kapoor and his first wife Mona Shourie Kapoor, has opened up about the emotional trauma she experienced as a child after her parents' separation. In a recent interview, Anshula revealed that at just six years old, she believed she was the reason her parents parted ways. 'As a 6-year-old I thought before me, their life was all hunky dory and I came to their life and suddenly they don't belong together. I thought, maybe, I was not a good enough daughter,' Anshula shared with Pinkvilla. The feelings of self-blame only intensified after her father welcomed Janhvi Kapoor with his second wife, actor Sridevi . 'I know it sounds horrible,' she added, 'but when Jaanu (Janhvi Kapoor) was born, I felt like maybe something was wrong with me.' 'That was one part of my trauma I had to deal with' Anshula clarified that both her parents, Boney Kapoor and Mona Shourie, made it a point to explain that she was never the cause of their separation. However, as a young child, she struggled to process the situation in a healthy way. 'I do not believe that anymore,' she said, 'but it was a child trying to figure out what went wrong and thinking maybe I only went wrong.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 뱃속 염증 공장인 "내장지방" 순식간에 녹인 [이것] 다이어트 중년 복부비만 DIET 더 알아보기 Undo She also speculated that her thoughts might have been influenced by adult conversations she overheard.

Anshula said her relationship with Maheep remained unaffected. She appreciated her aunt's mature approach, which helped preserve their bond. 'Woh ghar hai, family hai,' Anshula added.
