The Traitors Winner Nikita Luther Makes SHOCKING Claim: ‘Editing Was Entirely Scripted…'
Professional poker player Nikita Luther and reality TV star Uorfi Javed emerged as the winner of the first season of 'The Traitors' India, hosted by Karan Johar. Days after her win, Nikita has made a shocking revelation. She said that while the show was not scripted, the editing was heavily manipulated to fit a scripted narrative. She said that she knew Purav Jha was a traitor since Day 6 of the show, but that part was completely cut out from the episodes, and was never shown. She added that the show was edited to favour certain narratives, turning some into heroes while diminishing the strategic moves of others.
While speaking with Just Too Filmy about 'The Traitors', Nikita Luther said, 'The main thing that is not communicated is that I knew Purav is a traitor since day 6. And it's nowhere. They have not put it in episode 6, they have not put it in episode 7, 8, 9. Maine kaha chalo finale mein dalenge. Finale mein bhi mera Circle Of Shaq ka interrogation Purav wala they've cut it. (I thought they will add it in the finale. But they also cut my interrogation scene with Purav in the Circle Of Shaq during finale). So while the show was not scripted, the editing is heavily scripted. It is edited to favour certain narratives and given archetypes. Wo personalities assign kari hui hain logon ko and for me, it didn't come through. Fair enough, whatever the call was, but the editing was entirely scripted to make people heroes, and throw people off the game."
She also said that she has explained why she declined the Traitors' invitation sent to her by Purav and Elnaaz. However, that part was not shown either.
The Traitors, which was hosted by Karan Johar, featured an impressive ensemble — Karan Kundrra, Raj Kundra, Raftaar, Jasmin Bhasin, Anshula Kapoor, Maheep Kapoor, Jannat Zubair, Sudhanshu Pandey, Uorfi Javed, Apoorva Mukhija, Nikita Luther, among others. Uorfi and Nikita walked away with the prize money of Rs 70.05 lakh.

Ram Gopal Varma on the ongoing Sandeep Vanga-Deepika Padukone fiasco over working hours: 'This is all exaggerated and...'
The filmmaker added, 'That's their call. But how can one human being force another human being to do something?' read more After exiting from Sandeep Reddy Vanga-Prabhas' biggie Spirit, the latest reports suggest that the actress has taken the same step for Kalki 2898 AD 2. While the fiasco between Deepika and Vanga has been garnering headlines for quite some time, a new report has emerged discussing the actress's demands for Spirit. 'The actor had reportedly demanded ₹25 crores for approximately 35 days of shoot, along with a 10% profit share, extensive entourage expenses, and even expressed unwillingness to deliver dialogues in Telugu—something the director felt strongly about. To top it off, confidential plot details from Spirit were allegedly leaked, which raised serious concerns among the producers," the source told News18. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Now, after half of the industry, Ram Gopal Varma also had a say- 'The whole thing (between Deepika and Sandeep) was a very exaggerated thing in my opinion. Because I can say, I want to work for 23 hours, and the actor can say I want to work only for one hour.' The filmmaker added, 'That's their call. But how can one human being force another human being to do something? And they can agree to work or not work with each other… But that thing was just kind of blown up in the media.' RGV also said, 'The director might need a particular light. He might want some combination of another actor, or maybe the location is not available. There are too many factors which can factor in.'

Watch: MS Dhoni's Hummer Gets Military Makeover, Goes Viral On Social Media
Last Updated: Mahendra Singh Dhoni's Hummer now has a military-themed makeover with artwork of fighter jets and soldiers. If you spot a roaring SUV on the streets of Ranchi, adorned with visuals of fighter helicopters and soldiers, it is likely Mahendra Singh Dhoni's iconic Hummer H2 in its new military avatar. The former India cricket captain, known for his passion for automobiles, bought the powerful SUV from American automaker General Motors in 2009. Now, 15 years later, he has given it a fresh makeover inspired by the Indian Army, a force with which he shares a deep emotional connection. WATCH: — ` (@WorshipDhoni) July 13, 2025 Videos of the revamped Hummer have gone viral across social media platforms. The vehicle now features striking artwork depicting fighter jets, tanks, aircraft, and Indian soldiers in action. The customisation was carried out by a Ranchi-based car detailing studio. Studio founder Achyut Kishore revealed that Dhoni had personally requested an army-themed design, which has now been successfully completed. What Is MS Dhoni's Connection With The Army? Dhoni's bond with the armed forces is well-known. In 2011, he was conferred the honorary rank of Lieutenant Colonel in the Territorial Army. He has undergone training with the Para Forces and has even performed parachute jumps. Known to spend time with soldiers regularly, Dhoni often speaks about drawing inspiration from their discipline and courage. During the 2019 ICC World Cup, Dhoni famously wore gloves featuring the 'Balidaan Badge' — a symbol of the Para Special Forces — as a mark of respect for the Indian Army. What About Dhoni's Love For Bikes? An avid automobile enthusiast, Dhoni owns a remarkable collection of cars and superbikes. His garage boasts luxury and performance vehicles such as the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk, Mercedes-Benz G63 AMG, and a classic Nissan Jonga. But it is his Hummer H2 that remains the jewel of the collection — now more eye-catching than ever in its new military look. Recently, Dhoni was also seen driving the newly launched 'Basalt Dark Edition' SUV from French automaker Citroen in Ranchi. Dhoni, who is also the brand ambassador for Citroen, was spotted behind the wheel of the sleek Black Edition, believed to be the latest addition to his impressive fleet. view comments First Published: July 14, 2025, 15:20 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Amaya Espinal And Bryan Arenales Win Love Island USA Season 7, Split $100K Prize
Last Updated: Love Island USA Season 7 Finale: One couple walked away with love and $100K, while another ended things quietly. Here's what happened. In a dramatic two-hour finale, Love Island USA Season 7 concluded with Amaya Espinal and Bryan Arenales walking away with the title and the USD 100,000 prize. Voted as fan favourites, the couple chose to split the money equally, proving their bond was built on love, not strategy. They beat Nic Vansteenberghe and Olandria Carthen, who ended up as runners-up. How Amaya and Bryan Found Love in Each Other Amaya's journey through the villa came with its share of highs and lows. She initially connected with Ace Greene and Austin Shepard, but neither relationship took off. Viewers were rooting for her to find someone who truly matched her energy. Casa Amor marked a turning point. Amaya's brief spark with Zak Srakaew faded quickly, while Bryan Arenales, also introduced during Casa Amor, didn't immediately stand out. But back in the main villa, the two began spending more time together and things began to shift. Their bond grew naturally, built on calm understanding, shared values and mutual support. Fans appreciated how their chemistry developed without drama or performative moments. Slowly but surely, their relationship turned into one of the most solid and sincere ones in the villa. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Love Island USA (@loveislandusa) A Surprise Breakup Before the Finale While one couple celebrated their win, another came to a quiet end. Chris Seeley and Huda Mustafa parted ways during their final date, just before the vote. Chris admitted he didn't feel the connection was working and chose to end things respectfully. Huda's journey wasn't easy. She first formed a bond with Jeremiah Brown, which fizzled out quickly. Later, her new connection with Chris at Casa Amor brought fresh hope, but the spark didn't last long either. In contrast, Amaya and Bryan's slow-burn story struck a deeper emotional chord. Their win and equal split of the prize stood out in a season full of surprises, reminding audiences that sometimes, love does win on reality TV. As fans celebrate their victory, the real test begins now: will Amaya and Bryan's bond last outside the villa? For now, they're the couple everyone's watching and rooting for.
