Purav Jha and Mukesh Chhabra
Karan Johar’s show The Traitors has a unique concept, and it's all about being deceitful, manipulative and a liar. And mind you, not everyone is good at it. The show has seen a handful of eliminations so far, and interestingly, some of them are players, one would least expect given their personalities and sharpness. Nevertheless, that is the essence of the show: being a traitor without anyone knowing.
We asked the contestants who were eliminated from the show about who they think is a strong contender to win the game. Mukesh Chhabra tells us his bet.
Mukesh Chhabra is all praise for Purav Jha
The casting director and filmmaker was all praise for Purav Jha’s gameplay. He said, “I am very, very, very impressed with the way Purav is playing. When I saw the episode, I said, ‘Wow, man.’”

He adds, “He was always next to me, Raftaar and Ashish bhai. We were chilling with him, and he was sitting on our head. The way he played the game, man.” Showering praises on the young man, Mukesh said, “I love him, but I hate him a lot. But I love him so much.”
“Unbelievable!” he exclaims, adding, “Purav, for me, was a revelation. I think everyone knows that I got so upset with him. Ashish bhai also knows. He was saying bhaiya bhaiya to me. ‘I am a big fan of you, big fan of Ashish bhai, big fan of Raftaar.’ And how the f**k he played that so well.”
“And I observe a lot of people. I deal with actors so many times. How did I miss that? So, that's a traitor game. That's the biggest learning for me,” Mukesh shares.

But when I saw the show, I immediately forgot everything, and I sent him a message."
