<p>He further revealed how discovering that the others had allegedly pre-planned his eviction came as a shock to him. Munawar said, “Later I came to know they were all pre-planning against me. <i>Tab dhakka laga tha, tab Bura laga tha… sab ne milkar already pre-planned kiya hua hai mere khilaaf.” </i>(Later, when I came to know that they were all pre-planning against me, that was a shock. I felt bad at that time. Everyone had already planned together against me)</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/the-traitors-season-2-shalini-passi-takes-a-dig-at-mallika-sherawat-s-dolce-dress-calls-it-fake-1787112617916"><strong>The Traitors Season 2: Shalini Passi calls Mallika Sherawat's Dolce dress fake</strong></a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>For Munawar, the disappointment wasn't simply about being eliminated from the game, but about realising that the relationships and conversations he believed were genuine may not have been what they seemed. Known for his ability to read people and situations, the experience also gave him a different perspective on trust, alliances, and the psychological side of the game.</p>

<p>During his conversation with Neha Dhupia and Angad Bedi, Munawar also spoke about his journey on the show, offering an insight into how he navigated the dynamics inside the game and dealt with the uncertainty that came with being surrounded by contestants who were constantly strategising.</p>

<p>During a recent conversation with <i>Mid Day,</i> Soundous talked about her shocking elimination and the unfair decision by the traitors. She called out Gill for eliminating her out of personal vengeance and said, "It was Shahneel who took my name. I think when you are a girl, and you choose to hurt another girl, it says a lot about your character, especially when the person you are targeting is beautiful, opinionated, and confident, and hasn’t done anything to hurt you in the game. It comes across as insecurity rather than strength. I think it was more on a personal level."</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/the-traitors-season-2-mallika-sherawat-claims-tom-cruise-has-a-crush-on-her-i-would-ve-shown-you-his-videos-1786512100976"><strong>The Traitors season 2: Mallika Sherawat claims Tom Cruise has a crush on her</strong></a></p><h2>Soundous Moufakir on Mallika Sherawat's gameplay</h2><p>Mallika Sherawat is also one of the contestants in season 2.

<p>Soundous said, “I think, as a personality, you might be shining, but if you want to shine that way, then please go to Bigg Boss. If you want to be a Traitor and join a show about Traitors, and all you want to talk about is diamonds, Paris, and Los Angeles, then I would be the first one to object. I would only talk about Morocco and my friends.”</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>She added, “I have a French passport; Mallika Sherawat doesn’t have one.
