Listen to the story
The Indian version of The Traitors has released a trailer for its second season. The show is a popular reality format that has been made in many countries.
Karan Johar will return as the host of the show. This season brings together 21 famous people to compete in the game.
Among the cast members are Mallika Sherawat, Krystle D'Souza, Shweta Tiwari, and Rida Tharana. The trailer shows emotional moments, including scenes where contestants cry during palace politics, a term used to describe the tension and strategy between players living in a shared house.
In a separate, related story, actress Shweta Tiwari made a personal revelation connected to the new season. She said she had caught both of her ex-husbands, Raja Chaudhary and Abhinav Kohli, cheating on her.
This information was shared as part of an exclusive report, meaning the details were first given to one media outlet before being shared more widely.
The Traitors format usually involves a mix of contestants playing as either loyal players or secret 'traitors' who try to mislead others without being caught.
With a large celebrity cast and personal stories now attached to the show, viewers are expecting Season 2 to bring both game strategy and emotional drama when it eventually airs.
