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 and Jasmine Bhasin 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.'

The Traitors: Jannat Zubair, Elnaaz Norouzi, And Anshula Kapoor Exit Game, Pressure Peaks
New Delhi: The 3rd Week Of The Traitors had high-pressure missions and mounting self-doubt to unfiltered reflections on gameplay, this week saw it all. Eliminated players Jannat Zubair, Elnaaz Norouzi, Sufi Motiwala, Anshula Kapoor, and Janvi Gaur opened up about their journey, their decisions, and what it took to survive in this thrilling game—until they couldn't. Traitor, Elnaaz Nourouzi shared, 'I did enjoy being a Traitor, but I was also under a lot of pressure. Episode 7 was the height of it for me, and till yesterday, I was second-guessing myself every day, wondering if I took the right steps in every episode. For me, the show was constantly about giving the viewers something to see. It was never about myself. Obviously, I tried to do my best, but I knew that even if I'm not the winner, I wanted to make sure the mission money was earned. You know, because that's the whole point of the game.' Anshula Kapoor shared, 'Just remember, what you (audience) all are watching was supposed to be a game of strategy. It still is a game. Even though there could have been emotionally volatile moments, it was never meant to be any sort of character assassination, in a personal sense of the word, because it was a very high-pressure situation, and only the 20 of us who were in it actually can understand and tell you what that high-pressure means and why we were behaving so volatile. No need to get personal with that.' Sufi Motiwala reacted 'I knew that I was going to die, I was prepared, and I was the one who cried the most. I was actually not even bothered about the announcement, I was worried about ki girne ke baad kya honewala hai. I was inside that thing (drop shaft) for like 20 minutes while they were all doing their shots, 100-degree temperature, and I am being cooked inside. It was epic.' Jannat said, 'Circle of Shaq mein ek baar bhi mera naam slate par nai likha gaya. It's not an easy job. Sabko itna convince karna ki aap sach mein innocent ho, yeh bhi ek job thi. Voh koi realise hi nai kar raha ki kisiko itna convince karna bohot bada task tha joh maine throughout kiya.' Further, she added, 'I am very happy in sab ke saath bond bana ke, meri har kisike saath dosti hai, aur main bohot khush hoon ke tumlogo (audience) ne mujhe itna pyaar diya aur aap log hum sab ko after the show bhi itna pyaar de rahe ho.' Janvi Gaur shared, 'Fabulous. At the age of 50, when something like this comes to you, it brings back childhood memories. We played games, ladai, jhagda, and bohot maza aaya. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Every day, getting ready felt very glamorous and very fun. It was a mix bag of everything, but I enjoyed every second of it. There is nothing I would like to take back. It is a fantastic show, one of the best in a very long time. Itna amazing cocktail hai, I think the cast, all 20 of us. Kisi ki bhi non-required nai thi. We were a beautiful mixed bag.' Episodes 1 to 9 of The Traitors are now streaming on Prime Video, with the grand finale dropping on Thursday at 8 PM.

Sufi Motiwala: There's more to a person than their social media persona
Sufi Motiwala Arguably one of the most entertaining contestants on The Traitors (India), online fashion critic and content creator Sufi Motiwala brought with him to the show a heady mix of sass, energy, and a bold personality — the kind of combo that reality TV thrives on. But just as viewers were beginning to root for his fierce one-liners and unapologetic self-expression, his journey came to an abrupt end when he was 'murdered' by traitor Purav Jha. So, what made him sign up for a show that thrives on paranoia and betrayal? For Sufi, it was about breaking the perception around his image. He says, 'I think with the concept of the show being betrayal and dhoka, I really wanted to show people how much of a human being I am — soft and sensitive in real life — because that's a big contradiction to my social media personality, and that's very important to me. Secondly, I love money, so the winning amount. Thirdly, I love cameras, and I love screens, and I love seeing myself on the screen, and I think this is the best way to achieve that in a way where I don't have to compromise my ethics. It's still a game, but people still get to see my personality. I have no regrets from the game. I am very, very happy that it started the way it did, and ended the way it did.' Given his famously unfiltered fashion commentary, was he ever worried that this no-holds-barred persona might make him appear less trustworthy in a game where suspicion can cost you dearly? Sufi admits, 'Of course it can make you seem highly untrustworthy. If you see the interviews with Karan Johar , Apoorva Mukhija, Uorfi Javed, Mukesh Chhabra — everybody said that they would find me to be the most untrustworthy, and that is exactly what I wanted to break on the show. Your Instagram and your sass are not your whole definition or your existence. There is much more to a human being than just what they show on social media.' And when it comes to fashion — Sufi's self-confessed playground — he doesn't shy away from dishing out his verdict. On who nailed the style game on The Traitors, he says, 'I think Janvi Gaur was the best dressed, Sahil Salathia in men, and me and Apoorva in the Gen Z girlie pop category.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Free P2,000 GCash eGift UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo He adds, 'I wouldn't say worst dressed, but just based on my preference, Nikita Luther, Ashish Vidyarthi sir, and Sudhanshu Pandey sir could have brought more energy with the looks.' Extending his style radar to Bollywood, Sufi keeps it real. 'I'm forever biased to Janhvi Kapoor and Rekha ji. The celebs who need a style intervention are the Khans — Aamir, Shah Rukh, and Salman. I love them, adore them, and respect them. I also can't help but notice that they wear the same things they have since their movies from the 2000s. While it works, their style seems to not have evolved at all, and I would honestly just love to see them in a different, more edgy element.'
