Sharing the clip, Uorfi wrote, 'From losing big boss (being the first one to be eliminated) to winning the traitors. The journey wasn't easy , how many times I've cried , I've had so many breakdowns , wanted to give up , wanted to leave everything and run away . Being called names, getting death, rape threats, the online hate, the offline hate but I never stopped . May be the universe knew I needed this.' She added, 'When I lost Big boss I thought he lost my last chance at success or at having a good life, had taken udhaar from friends to get clothes to wear on big boss. At that time I didn't even know if I would be ever be able to repay that udhaar. People have always doubted me, even right now but this still won't stop me . The hate never has, never will stop me. I took out 3 traitors, that can't be luck. Till the last moment I didn't give up. Strategised.'

Imagine being so petty that when your favourite player doesn't win you resort to abusing and threatening.' 'These are the most decent ones I uploaded . No matter what I do , people just love hating and abusing . Harsh ko na Nikalti toh Pyar me andhi, harsh ko nikal Diya toh dhokhebaaz. Purav ko Jeetne deti toh bewakoof, nahi jeetne diya toh cheater . Hate has never stopped me before , it never will now,' she added.

Last Updated: Jannat Zubair expressed disappointment for not eliminating Harsh despite sensing he was a recruited traitor. Television actress and social media star Jannat Zubair's journey in The Traitors, the reality show hosted by Karan Johar, has ended. In the last episode, Harsh Gujral and Purav Jha decided to vote Jannat out after she learnt that the stand-up comedian had been recruited as the new Traitor. After her eviction, the actress sat for an interview with a media portal where she expressed disappointment over failing to eliminate Harsh despite sensing he was a recruited traitor. In a chat with Telly Chakkar, Jannat said, 'I think mujhe sabse jyada regret us episode ka hai ki main Harsh ko bahar nahi nikal payi. Jabke mein itni sure thi, maine ussi raat VDs mein bola tha ki mujhe pata hai Anshula nahi hai, but maine uska naam likha hai. Harsh ek recruited traitor hai. Maine ye sab bola hai, sab dikhaya gaya hai VDs mai. (I think I regret the most about that episode when I could not get Harsh out. When I was so sure, I told him that night in the VDs that I know Anshula is not there but I have written her name. Harsh is a recruited traitor. I have told all this, everything has been shown in the VDs.)" 'Mai itna chahti thi ki mujhe bus subh breakfast table pe jana hai aur Harsh ko nikalna hai aur usko batana hai ki tumne maine ek hi din mai pakad liya tha. Aur ussi raat ko Hrash ne mera murder kar diya tha. Regret mujhe zindagi bhar rahega aur koi khushi us cheej ko hata nahi sakti hai. (I wanted to just go to the breakfast table in the morning and take Harsh out and tell him that I have caught you in just one day. And that very night Harsh murdered me. I will have this regret all my life, and no happiness can take away that thing)," she added. View this post on Instagram A post shared by (@tellychakkar) Jannat also took to her Instagram to reflect on her journey after wrapping up for The Traitors. She expressed that while the game may be over for her, the memories and the lessons are clearly here to stay. Calling her journey 'unforgettable," Jannat Zubair said, 'What a ride it's been. Grateful for every moment, every connection, and everything I've learnt. Sometimes loyalty costs you the game, but I wouldn't have played it any other way. The Traitors, you've been unforgettable. #TeamInnocent always."

With her clever gameplay, she has become one of the show's favourites among viewers, available on Prime Video. Following the premiere of episodes 7, 8 and 9, Apoorva penned a note reflecting on her journey. The 23-year-old influencer shared the note on her Instagram Story on Friday, June 27. She wrote, 'These past few weeks have been a roller coaster. To say I am grateful would be an understatement." Revealing that the shoot for The Traitors was 'traumatic," Apoorva added, 'I will always cherish the moments I had with Sufi Motiwala and Jannat Zubair and Purav Jha." She concluded her note, by saying, 'Thank you for all the love, the hate, the feedback, and the edits. Can't wait for the finale." In the latest episodes of the show, released on June 26, five contestants out of the remaining 20 got eliminated. They were Janvee Gaur, Elnaaz Norouzi, Sufi Motiwala, Jannat Zubair and Anshula Kapoor. The contestants who made it to the final episode of The Traitors Season 1 are Harsh Gujral, Apoorva Mukhija, Jasmin Bhasin, Nikita Luther, Purav Jha, Uorfi Javed, and Sudhanshu Pandey. Shot at the sumptuous and majestic Hotel Suryagarh in Rajasthan's Jaisalmer, The Traitors' grand finale episode will air on July 3 at 8 PM. The debut season of The Traitors, hosted by KJo, generated so much buzz that it was renewed for another gripping season. On Wednesday, June 25, Amazon Prime Video took to its social media accounts to announce that The Traitors was officially greenlit for a second season. It is an adaptation of the British show of the same name. Speaking of Apoorva, she participated in the reality show just months after she got embroiled in a controversy due to Samay Raina's YouTube show India's Got Latent. She, along with Samay and Ranveer Allahbadia, faced massive backlash earlier this year after an episode of the show grabbed everyone's attention in which Ranveer posed an offensive question to a contestant. Following the backlash, she went missing in action from social media. However, she returned to the platform by sharing with people all the troubles and challenges she had faced due to the controversy. First Published:
