Shweta Tiwari Talks About Catching Ex-Husbands Cheating in New Reality Show
Listen to the story
A newly released trailer for the reality show "The Traitors" Season 2 has generated buzz after actress Shweta Tiwari made a personal revelation about her past marriages. In the clip, Tiwari says she caught both of her former husbands, Raja Chaudhary and Abhinav Kohli, being unfaithful to her during their relationships.
"The Traitors" is a reality competition format built around trust, suspicion and deception. Within the game, certain contestants are secretly designated as "traitors," tasked with misleading their fellow players while attempting to avoid detection. The Season 2 trailer leans heavily into this theme, showcasing heated confrontations, tearful admissions and shifting alliances among the cast.
Alongside Tiwari, the trailer prominently features actresses Mallika Sherawat, Krystle D'Souza and Rida Tharana, all of whom are shown breaking down emotionally at various points. The presence of multiple celebrity contestants in visibly distressing moments suggests that the new season places significant weight on personal drama in addition to strategic gameplay.
According to the promotional material, accusations and emotional breakdowns take centre stage throughout the trailer, with the overall atmosphere described as one of "palace politics" — a term evoking the scheming and rivalry historically associated with royal courts. This framing appears designed to position the show as a high-stakes blend of psychological tension and interpersonal conflict rather than a purely physical or skill-based competition.
It remains unclear from the available material precisely how Tiwari's disclosure about her ex-husbands fits into the structure of the game itself, or whether it forms part of a separate personal interview segment included in the promotional trailer. NDTV's report does not provide further context on the timing or circumstances of her past relationships, nor does it specify additional plot details for the season.
The trailer's release has already sparked conversation online, with the combination of celebrity participants and emotionally charged content likely to draw wider attention ahead of the season's premiere. Given the success of similar international formats, "The Traitors" franchise appears to be leaning further into personal storytelling as a way of deepening audience engagement with its contestants beyond the core game mechanics.
