In a thrilling conclusion to the first season of The Traitors, hosted by Karan Johar, Uorfi Javed and Nikita Luther emerged victorious. The two contestants successfully identified and voted out the final traitors in the grand finale, earning them the winner’s title and a combined cash prize of ₹70,05,000.
What Happened in the Grand Finale?
The final episode opened with the Circle of Shaq, where Apoorva Mukhija (Rebel Kid) was eliminated. Later, Jasmin Bhasin was “murdered” in-game by traitors Harsh Gujral and Purav Jha, leaving the top five contestants: Uorfi, Nikita, Sudhanshu Pandey, Harsh, and Purav. A major turning point came when Uorfi overheard Purav discussing strategy with Harsh in the billiard room, which raised her suspicions.
At the final Circle of Shaq, Uorfi confidently named Purav as a traitor, leading to his elimination. From there, she and Nikita trusted each other and successfully voted out Harsh and Sudhanshu. In the end, both women stood as the last remaining contestants and were crowned co-winners.
A Fitting End for the Underdogs
Uorfi Javed expressed her disbelief at winning the show as an innocent, calling it a strong response to those who doubted her from the start. Nikita Luther, who had been eliminated early on but returned later in the game, was overjoyed at her victory.
