The Traitors 2 Confirmed Contestants: Munawar Faruqui, Rhea Chakraborty, Shweta Tiwari And More

Karan Johar’s The Traitors is returning with a fresh group of celebrities, and the line-up for Season 2 promises a sharp mix of actors, comedians, influencers, reality-show veterans and first-time contestants.

The makers unveiled the complete list of 21 participants at the show’s launch event on Thursday, July 30. The second season will once again test how well contestants can lie, build alliances, detect betrayal and survive a game in which trust can disappear overnight.

The cast includes familiar faces such as Munawar Faruqui, Rhea Chakraborty, Shweta Tiwari, Mallika Sherawat, Ranveer Brar and Dalip Tahil. Digital creators, entrepreneurs, performers and newcomers to reality television have also found a place in the season.

Munawar Faruqui, Rhea

Chakraborty Lead The Line-Up

Munawar Faruqui is among the most recognisable names joining Season 2. The comedian has already proved his understanding of competitive reality television by winning Lock Upp and later Bigg Boss 17. His experience with alliances, confrontations and high-pressure tasks could make him one of the contestants to watch.

Rhea Chakraborty will also enter the competition. Known for films including Mere Dad Ki Maruti, Jalebi and Chehre, she later returned to television as a gang leader on MTV Roadies. Her participation marks another prominent reality-show appearance.

Abhishek Malhan, better known online as Fukra Insaan, is also part of the cast. The YouTuber finished as the runner-up of Bigg Boss OTT 2 and later appeared as a mentor on Battleground. With a large digital following and previous reality-show experience, he enters the game with an established fan base.

Mallika Sherawat And Dalip Tahil Bring Bollywood Presence

Mallika Sherawat is making her way to The Traitors 2. The actress, remembered for films such as Murder and Welcome, will be stepping into a format that depends less on performance before a camera and more on reading the intentions of fellow players.

Veteran actor Dalip Tahil is another major addition. Over the years, he has appeared in films including Baazigar, Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak, Raja and Rock On. His presence adds a different generation of film experience to the otherwise younger-heavy cast.

Harman Singha, known for his work as an actor, host and writer, will also participate. He has been associated with projects such as The Family Man and Call Me Bae, but Season 2 marks his entry into competitive reality television.

Shweta Tiwari And Krystle D’Souza Represent Television

Shweta Tiwari returns to the reality-show space after previous appearances on Bigg Boss and Khatron Ke Khiladi. The actress became a household name through Kasautii Zindagii Kay and went on to win Bigg Boss 4. Her familiarity with long-format reality television may give her an advantage in handling pressure and conflict.

Krystle D’Souza is another popular television face in the line-up. Best known for Ek Hazaaron Mein Meri Behna Hai and Brahmarakshas, she has appeared on entertainment shows and celebrity specials before, but The Traitors 2 will place her inside a full-fledged competition built around strategy and deception.

Actor and entrepreneur Parul Gulati will also join the season. Apart from shows such as Girls Hostel and Selection Day, she is known for building the hair-extension brand Nish Hair.

Ranveer Brar Steps Away From The Kitchen

Celebrity chef Ranveer Brar is entering an unfamiliar kind of reality show. Viewers know him from food programmes including MasterChef India, The Great Indian Rasoi and Raja Rasoi Aur Anya Kahaniyan. This time, however, cooking will have little to do with survival.

Rapper Ikka Singh is also part of the cast. Born Ankit Singh Patyal, he has worked on popular tracks such as Sawan Mein Lag Gayi Aag, Paani Wala Dance and Badri Ki Dulhania. He has previously appeared as a squad boss on MTV Hustle 03 REPRESENT.

Stand-up comedian Aaditya Kulshreshth, popularly known as Kullu, will bring his observational humour to the game. He is also a writer and actor and made his film debut with Loveyapa.

Reality Veterans And Digital Creators Join The Game

Soundous Moufakir, who won MTV Splitsvilla X4, joins the cast after also competing in Roadies: Karm Ya Kaand. Her experience in relationship-based and adventure reality formats could help her navigate the show’s constantly shifting alliances.

Sahil Salathia is returning after having participated in the first season. The actor and model, known for P.O.W. – Bandi Yuddh Ke and Panipat, will get another opportunity to test his strategy.

Shalini Passi, who became widely known after appearing in Netflix’s Fabulous Lives vs Bollywood Wives, will also enter the competition. The art collector, philanthropist and socialite has emerged as a popular personality on streaming television.

Digital creator Rida Tharana, recognised for motivational and women-centric content, is among the new faces. Lifestyle and fashion creator Ansh Chopra and beauty, fashion and lifestyle influencer Prishita Singh, known as Prish, are also part of the cast.

Shahneel Gill Makes Her Reality TV Debut

Shahneel Gill, widely known as cricketer Shubman Gill’s sister, is making her first appearance on a reality show. A social media personality and entrepreneur, she will be entering the public glare in a format where personal equations can quickly become part of the game.

Private detective and entrepreneur Tanya Puri will also make her reality television debut. Her professional background in investigations may make her an intriguing participant in a show where identifying hidden traitors is central to survival.

Magician and mentalist Karan Singh rounds out the list. Known for illusion, mind-reading performances and viral digital content, he enters a competition that may reward observation as much as persuasion.

With 21 contestants drawn from very different professions, The Traitors 2 is set up as a clash of experience, instinct and social strategy. Hosted by Karan Johar, the new season will ask its celebrity players to form bonds while constantly questioning who among them is secretly working against the group.
