Karan took to Instagram and shared the teaser of the upcoming reality show and teased, “Here you’ll find a rebel who’s still a kid at heart but big on drama, and those who rely entirely on their outfits to make an impression. The ones who try to hide scandals behind masks. Not to forget those who ended up in prison chasing a couple of chuckles. And the one who’s fast, sadly, only by name. And whose life is fabulous because of me. Thank me later, darling.”
In the caption, he wrote: “Yahan trust is rare, but dhokha is everywhere! #TheTraitorsOnPrime, a new reality series coming on June 12 only on @primevideoin.”
