MUMBAI: Amazon Prime Video’s psychological reality thriller The Traitors has captivated audiences nationwide with its intense web of lies, strategic manipulation, and unexpected twists.
As the curtain fell on a dramatic debut season, fans were left buzzing not just about the jaw-dropping victory of Uorfi Javed and Nikita Luther, but also about a curious shift in one of the show’s strongest players, Purav Jha.
From the outset, Purav Jha commanded the game as the first Traitor selected. His early gameplay was masterful—dispatching fellow contestants with precision, all while maintaining a convincing façade of innocence.
Not a single contestant doubted his loyalty, allowing him to progress deep into the game undetected. His stealth and cunning were hailed as textbook Traitor strategy.
However, as the finale approached, fans began to notice a stark change in Purav’s energy. Many believe his spark began to fade following the elimination of fellow contestant Apoorva Mukhija, with whom he appeared to share a strong connection.
According to online chatter, her exit seemed to derail Purav’s focus, and viewers felt he gradually became careless making his true allegiance increasingly apparent.
Netizens pointed to a specific moment when Purav shifted his accusations from Harsh to Sudhanshu, calling the move suspicious and inconsistent. His sudden change of stance, combined with Uorfi’s sharp instincts and a timely eavesdropped conversation, ultimately sealed his fate.
Fans have been quick to weigh in on what went wrong for the Traitors. Many argue that had Harsh Gujral eliminated Uorfi instead of Jasmine, the Traitors might have clinched the win. That single decision, they believe, turned the tide in favour of the Innocents.

Here’s what viewers had to say:
Sheena Sharma: “Uorfi played an incredible game, but I do feel Purav and Harsh could have won if not for those missteps. Purav checked out after Apoorva left, and Harsh made a fatal error by eliminating Jasmine instead of Uorfi. That changed everything.”
Rahul Singh: “Purav lost his grip after Apoorva’s eviction. He shouldn’t have accused Sudhanshu—it exposed him. But then again, Uorfi overhearing that conversation with Harsh was just bad luck. That moment finished it for the Traitors.”
Pooja Kapoor: “They should have taken Uorfi out—simple. Eliminating Jasmine was their biggest mistake. After that, Uorfi started piecing it all together, and the game spiralled. Still, Uorfi deserves credit for a brilliant win.”
Kabir Khanna: “Purav’s strategy was flawless until the final stretch. If he and Harsh had targeted Uorfi, the Innocents wouldn’t have stood a chance. That one miscalculation gave the game away.”
Priya Tiwari: “I genuinely feel for Purav. He was phenomenal throughout, and had Uorfi not overheard that conversation, I doubt he’d have been exposed. Harsh also made the mistake of trusting her—one slip, and it all crumbled.”
While Uorfi Javed’s exceptional gameplay rightly earned her the crown, a wave of sympathy continues to pour in for Purav Jha. Despite the defeat, many feel he was one of the most formidable players the show had seen and that, perhaps, the Traitors were just one bold move away from winning it all.
One thing is certain—The Traitors India delivered a finale brimming with intensity, emotion, and high-stakes drama, leaving fans eagerly awaiting what the next season might bring.
