As The Traitors inches closer to its nail-biting finale, the spotlight isn’t just on the game’s betrayals and twists—but also on a certain buzzworthy bond that’s captured fans’ hearts. Amid tasks, torch snuffs, and strategy, content creators Apoorva Mukhija and Purav Jha have sparked dating rumours with their visible on-screen chemistry. Now, Apoorva has finally broken her silence—adding fuel to the fire in the most playful way possible.At around the 13:20 mark, Apoorva pointed out how the show’s edit made it seem like Elnaaz was trying to approach Purav, but he walked away. Responding to this, Elnaaz remarked that Purav never really spoke to her during the show.She then added that Purav had mentioned in one of his videos that he couldn’t make eye contact with Elnaaz. She playfully asked Elnaaz if she had seen the fan-made love edits featuring her and Purav, hinting at the growing online chatter around their chemistry.Elnaaz chimed in, pointing out that there’s actually a video featuring Apoorva and Purav, not her. Responding with her signature wit, Apoorva—aka Rebel Kid—joked, “There are 82,000 edits of me and Purav. And it’s only going to get worse after this drop,” acknowledging the frenzy their on-screen chemistry has sparked among fans.Apoorva went on to discuss an incident from episode 9 of The Traitors. She described a task where three marshals were burning behind the contestants, and host Karan Johar instructed them to extinguish the torch of the person they trusted the least. Apoorva criticized the decisions made during the task, pointing out that Uorfi, Harsh, and Jasmin didn’t approach the task logically. She felt that the more strategic players were sidelined, while the less thoughtful contestants were assumed to be innocent, leading to flawed guesses about who the real traitor was.Apoorva further shared that in the task, all three marshals chose to extinguish her torch first, marking her as the least trustworthy contestant. She noted the irony, calling it a full-circle moment from episode 1 to episode 9. She also mentioned being given a dagger and asked to hand it to the person she trusted the most—whose vote would then carry double weight in the game.Interrupting Apoorva, Elnaaz pointed out the twist in her game journey—highlighting how Apoorva handed the dagger to Purav. She noted the irony that from episode 2, where Apoorva successfully identified and eliminated a traitor, she ended up placing her trust in one by episode 9.In the same conversation, Elnaaz opened up about her long discussions with Purav inside the secret tower. She revealed that while viewers only saw brief 5 to 15-minute segments, those scenes were actually edited down from nearly two hours of intense interaction. During those sessions, she and Purav often disagreed, were physically exhausted, irritated, and had to remain quiet to avoid being overheard by the other contestants. She emphasized how challenging it was, as they rarely reached a unanimous decision quickly.
