Despite receiving mediocre audience responses at the start, Karan Johar's The Traitors quickly gained a lot of traction. It includes eliminations, betrayals, debates, captivating drama, and a game of traitors against the innocent. One of the four competitors that were eliminated in the second week was Raftaar. Raftaar spoke candidly to OTTplay about his departure from the program, his disputes with Sufi, and other topics.

Arguments between Raftaar and Sufi elicit a response from him

Raatar responded to a question from OTTplay regarding his altercation with Sufi Motiwala at the Circle of Shaq in The Traitors. "With regard to Sufi and the Circle of Shaq moment, it was never personal," he stated. "I think everyone's playing their game, and in moments like that, emotions and strategy get tangled."

In case you didn't know, Raftaar and Sufi got into a major fight at the Cirlce of Shaq, where each candidate cast a ballot for the individual they believed to be the traitor. When the discussion went too far at this point, Raftaar said to Sufi, "I think you should call me a sidekick bro," to which Sufi responded, "I don't want to call you anything."

After this, Raftaar said, "I wanna call you a sidekick." Sufi replied, "Shut up." You will not say a single word to me because I am not your f*cking sidekick. "A disrespectful whore."

Raftaar's departure from The Traitors

"To be honest, I didn't expect to leave the show so soon," Raftaar remarked in response to his removal. I approached with the attitude of staying until the conclusion. However, the format is such that perception is essential, and occasionally, individuals miss the entire picture. I am nonetheless appreciative that I was able to make an impression in such a little period of time. Sometimes, impact is more important than length.

Whether Raftaar's public persona as a rapper helped or harmed him in this match

Raftaar, an Indian rapper, lyricist, composer, music producer, dancer, actor, and television celebrity, is connected to Hindi, Punjabi, and Haryanvi music. One of the first rappers from India to break into the mainstream music business. When asked if his celebrity persona as a rapper helped or hindered him in The Traitor, Raftaar replied, "Being a rapper definitely brought some unique energy to the table. It sparked people's curiosity and perhaps even their caution.

The Traitors' Raftaar

When asked who he thought was playing the smartest game on Karan Johar's program, the rapper responded, "The traitors are navigating the game with a lot of clarity and calm. I really admire that kind of subtle intelligence, where you don't need to be loud to be effective.

Purav Jha was a traitor, in Raftaar's opinion

Raftaar also stated during the chat that he believed Purav Jha was the traitor, saying, "I felt Purav was the traitor because every time he came to me the cameras followed." I had considered things like dark circles. As a result, I didn't want to come up with another theory that would have brought purav's name to everyone's attention. He brings back memories of when I first started out. The necessity to shine is something I comprehend."

If Raftaar... For whom did he originally compose the diss tune that the Traitors possessed?

If there were a diss song for the Traitors world, I would probably write it for the scenario itself rather than for a specific individual, Raftaar said. In its own way, the entire mood—the tension, the uncertainties, the shifting dynamics—is poetic. Sometimes a song doesn't need a target; rather, it's about dealing with your life.

In the interim, Amazon Prime Video will debut new episodes of The Traitors every Thursday. These new episodes are available starting at 8 p.m.
