Anshula Kapoor about restrictions in The Traitors show
In a recent chat with Pinkvilla, Anshula revealed that all the contestants were cut off from the outside world a night before filming began. Their phones were confiscated, luggage inspected, and electronic devices removed.
This sudden disconnection made Anshula realise just how dependent she had become on her phone. 'It took me almost two days to adjust. There was more than one occasion when I wanted to talk to Arjun (Kapoor) bhaiya, I wanted to talk to my sisters and Rohan,' she admitted, adding that she craved human connection during that time.

Anshula Kapoor about her relationship with aunt Maheep Kapoor
Anshula described her aunt Maheep Kapoor's eviction from the show as deeply emotional. She acknowledged feeling comforted by Maheep's presence and initially thought it would make things easier.
She revealed that the two had to distance themselves intentionally to avoid raising suspicions about being traitors. 'Chachi could have easily been emotional or wanted us to be more on guard. But she was like, 'Yeh game hai, hum game khelne aaye hain…'' Anshula recalled. According to her, Maheep maintained a clear boundary between the show and their personal life.
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.

The intense psychological reality show ended with Uorfi Javed and Nikita Luther being crowned the joint winners after a gripping final episode that saw the elimination of fellow innocent Sudhanshu Pandey, alongside traitors Harsh Gujral and Purav Jha.

The Indian edition featured 20 contestants, including celebrities like Jasmin Bhasin, Karan Kundrra, Jannat Zubair, Maheep Kapoor, and Ashish Vidyarthi.

Anshula Kapoor who is Boney Kapoor and Mona Kapoor's daughter, Arjun Kapoor 's sister, was recently seen in 'The Traitors'. While Anshula didn't chose to be an actor, like her brother or produce movies like her father, she's quite active on social media and has made her mark, also through her work towards social causes. Anshula recently spoke about her half-sister Janhvi and Khushi Kapoor and how it hurts her when people judge them for their appearance. For those not in the know, Boney Kapoor had divorced Mona Kapoor and got married to Sridevi . He has two daughters with the late actress - Janhvi and Khushi. After Sridevi passed away, Arjun and Anshula are extremely close to Janhvi and Khushi. In a recent interview, Anshula called out trollers and admitted that criticism is fine but there's a way of doing it. She said during a chat with Pinkvilla, "There's a way to give criticism when it comes to work; to help in terms of what we call positive criticism. But when criticism becomes about everything else, it is actually trolling and it is no longer criticism. But when trolling becomes about everything else, it becomes trolling, not criticism.' She added, "When it comes to the brutality of the outside world, it is harsh. It's not easy to see someone you love being trolled. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Tinnitus: what this grandson discovered will surprise you Hearing Magazine Undo It doesn't matter if it is your sister or any loved one, it's not easy to have that emotion work through you." Anshula further spoke, "It is extremely unfair for people to judge somebody they don't know, when they go personal. It is very unfair for someone in their 20s or their teenage years, to go through something like that when it's unwarranted. ' Anshula also lauded her sisters for being so strong. "They are the bravest and kindest girls that I've had the pleasure of knowing. And they truly are all heart," she said. When asked if she has been a constant support for Khushi and Janhvi for when they've been trolled, she said, "They are my sisters. I'll always be there for them. The beauty of having a relationship with a sibling is that you'll have an unconditional support partner always and it goes both ways. It's one of the most beautiful relationships that I've had the pleasure of discovering. Atleast, I feel I'm supportive but they would know better. But they've been equally supportive." Anshula recently announced her engagement to boyfriend Rohan Thakkar and her brother Arjun, along with other family members were highly emotional.
