Farah Khan admits she wanted Purav Jha to win 'The Traitors', says 'Sorry Uorfi'
"Sorry Uorfi, but he was the actual winner. - Farah Khan"

Mumbai, Jan 8

As part of her YouTube journey, director and choreographer Farah Khan and her cook Dilip visited actor and YouTuber Purav Jha at his Mumbai residence.

During the conversation, Farah admitted that, she wanted Purav and not Uorfi Javed to win the reality show, "The Traitors".

"I felt really bad because I genuinely wanted you to win Traitors", the 'Om Shanti Om' maker said.

Farah touched a sore spot as Purav reacted to this saying, "Every day I try to forget this pain, but someone keeps reminding me."

On this, Farah added that a lot of people have been saying Purav should have been the winner of the show, and that is what counts.

"Sorry Uorfi, but he was the actual winner," Farah proclaimed.

The 'Main Hoo Naa' maker further praised Purav for skillfully cleaning out co-contestant "Elnaaz (Norouzi) from the show.

To this, he clarified that Elnaaz was actually the one trying to set him up.

"When I came out and watched the entire show I was like 'Oh Man".

I was feeling bad for taking her name but then I saw the truth."

In a typical Farah style, she commented, "I didn't realize she is such a good actress. She should have acted this well in the films."

In the meantime, the winner of the show, Uorfi, shared her experience on The Traitors," calling it a smarter and more strategic format compared to 'Bigg Boss."

Speaking to IANS, Uorfi said, "I didn't really see myself in Bigg Boss, since I left within a week. Bigg Boss is very different. The Traitors is a completely different game. In The Traitors, you have to use your brain. Fights do happen-naturally-when there are four different people with different personalities. But I controlled myself. The goal on that show is to win, not to fight. The Traitors is pure class on Prime."

"The Traitors was about manipulation, but I did it positively-appeared harmless, avoided confrontations, and maintained an innocent façade. That was my survival technique," she went on to add.

I respect Farah's opinion, but saying "sorry Uorfi" on a public platform is a bit harsh. Uorfi played by the rules and won fair and square. We should celebrate the winner, not undermine them.

Haha, typical Farah Khan, never minces her words! But she's right, Purav's gameplay was next level. The way he navigated the eliminations was brilliant. The show was super entertaining because of contestants like him.

As someone who watched the whole season, Uorfi's strategy of playing innocent and avoiding drama was actually very smart. It's a different kind of game play. Both were great, but her technique worked.

The real tea is about Elnaaz! Purav finding out she was setting him up after the show... that must have been a proper Bollywood plot twist moment. Farah's dig about her acting was savage but funny 😂

Yaar, these reality shows create so much drama even after they end! But it's good to see such a smart format like The Traitors getting popular in India. Much better than the usual shouting matches.
