Anshula Kapoor talks about Maheep Kapoor's presence on The Traitors
She reflected on the time when Maheep Kapoor was evicted from The Traitors and said how it was very hard for her. When asked if it was a benefit to have her chachi (aunt), Maheep, in the show. Anshula explained how she was grateful to have her as a support system, and she felt that it would be easy.
However, Kapoor expressed that soon she and Maheep realized that if they spent time among themselves, they would be in the public eye and would be doubted for being the traitor. Because of the pressure, they had to forcefully spend less time together.
Further, she shared, "Chachi could have easily been like emotional or wanting us to be more on guard. But she was like, 'Yeh game hai, hum game khelne aaye hai. (This is game, we are here to play a game). You do what you need to do, I'll do what I need to do. Whatever happens is in the game, in the palace. So it's not going to leave this and fickle into our personal lives'."
Anshula explained how she was concerned that her relationship with Maheep would be affected, but it didn't happen at all. She praised Maheep for ensuring that their bond remains unaffected.
Boney Kapoor’s daughter said that Maheep's presence on The Traitors felt 'normal' and stated, "Voh ghar hai, family hai (She is home, family)."
The Traitors' grand finale is scheduled to premiere on July 3.
