The Traitors 2 controversy: Parul Gulati’s “gut feeling” under scanner after Shahneel Gill, Krystle D’Souza make “match-fixing” allegations

The ongoing drama surrounding The Traitors India Season 2 has taken a new turn, with contestants Shahneel Gill and Krystle D’Souza making allegations about a contestant allegedly receiving inside information during the game. While neither contestant named Parul Gulati directly in their initial statements, their comments appeared to point towards the actress, whose repeated “gut feelings” about the Traitors have already sparked discussion among viewers.

Shahneel asserted that contestants initially believed they were witnessing an unusual level of intuition, but alleged that the “gut had a source”. She also described the alleged practice as unfair to the other contestants.

A post shared Krystle later backed Shahneel’s alleges, saying she was “shocked and furious” after allegedly learning that a contestant and their Shadow had discussed the identity of a Traitor. For related coverage, explore our detailed analysis on Technology and Digital Systems.

She questioned how someone could make such accurate decisions purely based on a “gut feeling”. A post shared Parul subsequently appeared to respond to the allegations through an Instagram post.

Referring to the show's Circle of Shaq, she wrote, “This is circle of shaq all over and guess what, I am INNOCENT, AGAIN!” She also used the hashtags “Digital Witch-hunt” and “I am Innocent.” A post shared Parul had previously correctly identified Harman Singha and Krystle D’Souza as Traitors despite, according to the show’s proceedings, offering little concrete evidence beyond her intuition.
