There has been a big controversy surrounding The Traitors 2 because a contestant named Shahneel Gill raised doubts about whether the game is fair or not. The sister of Shubman Gill accused one of the Innocents of receiving information from somewhere else. She said that the whole thing was like “match-fixing”.
Shahneel Gill Raises Serious Questions About The Game
To clarify what seemed to be strange in the gameplay, Shahneel turned to Instagram. As she says, each contestant is given a “shadow” from the production who ensures all his needs during filming. She claimed that the “shadow” of one of the contestants of the Innocent show received some money and became a medium through which all the information about the game reached that person. Shahneel thinks this can be an explanation of why he kept guessing the Traitors so accurately.
How can one always rely on his “gut feeling”?
Why Parul Gulati’s Name Is Being Discussed
While Shahneel has not mentioned any particular contestant she has been referring to, it has been speculated on the internet that she refers to Parul Gulati. The continuous allegations of her predicting the moves of the Traitors have become a popular topic for debate among the viewers.
There is still no solid proof of the claim made by Shahneel about Parul as well as about passing of information via production shadows. It was also reported by Aaj Tak that at the time of making the news, the reaction of Parul against the allegations was unavailable. This becomes important as the allegation may have serious repercussions for a reality show based on deductions.

Shahneel Says Makers Should Not Be Blamed
Surprisingly, Shahneel stated that she did not blame the producers of the show in any way regarding the incident. She said that while the production could create regulations and systems, it could never control what the individual contestant will do in private.
The blame was laid on the contestant who supposedly tried to get information out-of-the-rules-of-the-game. Shahneel’s statement has created yet another dimension to the controversy surrounding The Traitors 2, where the contestants are supposed to deduce and figure out who the Traitors are through observation and alliances.
The Traitors 2 Controversy Could Get Bigger
It should be noted that the controversy is emerging at a time when The Traitors 2 has garnered quite some interest owing to the eliminations, betrayals, and shifting alliances in the game. The second season of the TV show, hosted by Karan Johar, follows the same format whereby the Innocents try to uncover the Traitors, and vice versa.
In case Shahneel does not provide any concrete evidence, then his statements would merely stay as allegations and not facts. However, he has still raised some queries regarding whether all the contestants are on an equal footing with regard to information and rules of the game. For now, people will be expecting whether the producers or contestants react to Shahneel’s allegations.
Final Take
The claims of Shahneel Gill have stirred up another controversy surrounding The Traitors 2, but there is no proof as of now regarding the alleged information breach. Without any statement from the creators or any evidence that can back up this allegation, the claim of match-fixing remains just that—an allegation.
