A reality-show argument has now spilled beyond the game, with one remark becoming the biggest talking point. Kamya Punjabi has called out Mallika Sherawat for bringing up Rhea Chakraborty’s past jail experience during a tense moment on The Traitors 2.
The controversy came during the ongoing gameplay when Mallika and Rhea found themselves on opposite sides of a heated exchange. What started as a discussion around a contestant’s comeback quickly turned personal.
Mallika Sherawat’s Jail Remark For Rhea Sparks Controversy
During the episode, Mallika referred to Rhea’s past jail experience while talking about her return to the spotlight. The comment immediately stood out because it brought an extremely personal chapter of Rhea’s life into a reality-show argument.
Kamya Punjabi did not agree with the way the conversation unfolded. Taking to X, she criticised Mallika’s remark and described the reference to Rhea’s traumatic past as a “toxic personal attack.” She also felt that the situation did not call for such a personal remark.
Why Kamya Punjabi Found The Comment Too Personal
Kamya’s criticism was not limited to calling out the remark. She also questioned the idea of treating such a statement as strong or “savage” gameplay, arguing that personal experiences should not become ammunition during a reality-show confrontation.
Interestingly, Kamya was also closely following the actual game. She felt contestants were playing too safely during the “Wall of Shield” task and praised Abhishek Malhan and Rhea for eventually breaking the pattern.
For Kamya Punjabi and The Traitors 2, this moment adds another layer to the season’s growing clashes, where strategy is increasingly mixing with personal emotions. The jail remark has now become a major talking point alongside the game’s twists and alliances.
