Join Telegram ChannelIn this gripping show, where “faithfuls” face off against “traitors” in a nail-biting game of strategy, the first season has already delivered several shocking twists. Karan’s exit came after a heated round of discussions during the “circle of suspicion,” a pivotal moment where contestants cast their votes on who they believe is betraying the group.
Despite his repeated assertions of innocence, Karan found himself in the crosshairs when 11 contestants decided to vote him out, suspecting him of being one of the traitors. This decision followed the eviction of Raj Kundra, a confirmed traitor, which raised eyebrows about others who were close to him in the game. Apoorva Mukhija, who had correctly identified Raj’s role, misjudged her next move with Karan, later confessing she was “100% convinced” he was guilty.
His departure hit hard, especially for actress Jannat Zubair, who was visibly upset. She broke down in tears after he left, expressing her regret for questioning him despite having initially stood by his innocence. “If it had been anyone else, I wouldn’t have felt this way. Karan played so subtly, but I think he got scared, and that’s what made us think he was a traitor,” she shared.

Other contestants, like Raftaar, echoed her feelings, pondering how groupthink might have led to their misjudgment. “We all ended Karan’s game together… We’re all a bit lost here,” he said thoughtfully.
Karan made his exit from the show with a touch of class. “I know it sounds a bit cliché, but I really had a great time. Even though the party wraps up early for me, I hope everyone keeps playing hard. I’ve been innocent from the get-go,” he shared with his fellow contestants before stepping out.
The fans’ reactions online have been quick and intense. Many viewers voiced their discontent with the players’ choices, arguing that Karan was a strong and strategic player who was unfairly targeted. Some even suggested that the remaining contestants lacked the insight needed for a game driven by strategy and deception.
With just a few episodes aired, The Traitors has already shown itself to be a whirlwind of emotions. Karan Kundrra’s departure serves as a powerful reminder of how swiftly alliances can change and trust can vanish in a game where trickery is part of the playbook. Whether his exit will shift the dynamics for those still in the game is yet to be seen, but one thing is for sure: this season is anything but predictable.
