Anshula Kapoor revealed the harsh reality behind the glitz of ‘The Traitors’. The show, hosted by Karan Johar and filmed at Jaisalmer’s Suryagarh Palace, pushed her to emotional breaking point.
She expected a challenging but fair game. Instead, she faced intense psychological pressure. The production removed room numbers and installed wind chimes outside doors to monitor movement. Contestants couldn’t leave their rooms without permission. This created an isolating and tense environment.
Anshula said the stress didn’t come from long filming hours. It came from the constant surveillance and strict control. The atmosphere inside the house wore her down.
After leaving the show, Anshula sought intensive therapy. Doctors diagnosed her with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), something she never experienced before.
Her anxiety surged to dangerous levels. The emotional impact lasted long after the cameras stopped rolling. While viewers saw a dramatic reality show, Anshula experienced trauma.
The Traitors brings together 20 celebrities who compete in a psychological game of strategy and deception. Some players are secretly assigned the role of “Traitors,” while others are “Faithfuls” trying to identify them. The game involves alliances, betrayals, and eliminations. The tension builds as contestants try to survive while uncovering who is working against them.
Several well-known participants, including Machu Lakshmi, Karan Kundrra, and Anshula Kapoor herself, have already exited the show. Each shared varied experiences, highlighting the mental and emotional challenges the intense environment imposes. Their departures reveal how demanding the game is, both physically and mentally.
Her story has sparked important conversations about mental health in reality TV. It highlights how production methods can affect contestants’ well-being.

Anshula’s honesty calls for greater responsibility in reality television. It reminds the industry and viewers that behind the drama, real lives are at stake.
‘The Traitors’ may crown a winner. But for Anshula Kapoor, the true battle was mental survival.
