Parul Gulati Calls Her Exit from The Traitors Unfair; Fans Question Her Innocence

Parul Gulati’s exit from the Karan Johar‑hosted reality show The Traitors has left fans baffled and sparking debate over her alleged betrayal. In the fifth episode, a tie between Gulati and Krystle D’Souza sent both contestants to the circle of shaq, where the two were voted out together. Gulati, who had earlier helped eliminate traitor Harman Singha, was seen as an innocent by many viewers, raising the question: how could she be a traitor?

In an exclusive conversation with Hindustan Times, Gulati explained that she felt the eviction was unfair. She said, “I did feel it was unfair at the circle of shaq because nobody was ready to believe that I was very much a proven innocent! Why would I lead anyone’s eviction a day prior… who was a traitor?” She added that she would not change her gameplay, noting that she “needs to learn timing but I don’t want to learn silence.” Gulati maintained that the traitors had to remove those they perceived as threats to their own survival.

Joining the chat was Aaditya Kulshreshth, known on the show as Kullu. Kullu echoed Gulati’s sentiment, praising her strategic mind alongside Abhishek Malhan and Ranveer Brar. He stated, “Of course, I will still say that Parul, Abhishek Malhan and Ranveer Brar were the only three who were using their brains in the game.” Kullu further explained that when given the chance to eliminate the strongest innocent during the tie, he chose to do so, claiming it would stir the game.

The season’s traitors now include Kullu, Krystle D’Souza, and Shahneel Gill. With Kullu’s eviction in the following episode, only two traitors remain. New episodes continue to air every Thursday on Amazon Prime Video, keeping viewers on edge as the game unfolds.

Senior Content Producer Santanu Das of Hindustan Times has covered the series, noting the intense strategy and drama that define The Traitors. His commentary highlights the blend of intellect and suspense that keeps audiences engaged, even as controversies like Gulati’s exit spark discussion about fairness and game dynamics.
