Krystle D’Souza and Rida Tharana have emerged as the winners of Karan Johar-hosted reality show The Traitors Season 2, taking home a combined cash prize of ₹66 lakh after a dramatic finale.
The finale saw the remaining contestants battle through the final missions and voting rounds. The episode began with the ‘murder’ of Mallika Sherawat on the last day in the palace, leaving Dalip Tahil, Shalini Passi and Saahil Salathia in the game.
Krystle and Rida make their final moves
During the final mission, the contestants worked together to increase the prize pot. They had to collect gold coins from the backs of camels, with their performance adding to the eventual prize money.
After the task, Krystle and Rida decided to target Dalip. Their plan worked, and Dalip was eliminated during the final Circle of Shaq.
The game then entered its most crucial stage, with Krystle, Rida, Shalini and Saahil remaining. As each contestant voted in front of Karan Johar, Saahil became the first to leave.
Shalini was next. Both Krystle and Rida voted against her, breaking her trust in the process. Shalini reacted by telling the two that life would teach them a “lesson” for their betrayal.
However, the biggest twist came with the final revelation. Krystle and Rida were both Traitors. Their successful manipulation meant that they reached the end together and became The Traitors Season 2 winners.
Krystle chooses Rida over the prize
Krystle could have betrayed Rida in the final moments and attempted to secure the entire prize for herself. Instead, she chose to stand by her fellow Traitor.
Explaining her decision, Krystle said she would rather be a “girl’s girl” and keep Rida with her for support throughout the game. The two then embraced as Karan Johar announced their victory.
The Traitors Season 2 follows the format of the original Dutch reality show De Verraders. Contestants compete as either Innocents or secretly assigned Traitors. While Innocents attempt to identify and eliminate the Traitors, the latter secretly eliminate players and manipulate the group.
The format has also inspired American and British versions, making The Traitors Season 2 another chapter in the globally popular reality franchise.
