Karan Johar supports Rhea Chakraborty, calls out Mallika Sherawat’s comment on jail term | Web-series News

Mallika Sherawat’s dig at Rhea Chakraborty

During the first three episodes of the show, Munawar Faruqui was evicted, and what followed was a heated argument between Rhea and Mallika. During the Circle of Shaq, where Munawar Faruqui was voted out, the stand-up comedian accused Mallika of being too calm in the game. He said that given that this is Mallika’s comeback, she wasn’t doing enough on the show. Mallika was quite offended by Munawar’s comment on her comeback, and later, when she discussed it with her fellow players, Rhea tried to explain to Mallika what Munawar meant.

During that conversation, Mallika told Rhea, “Is this game about a comeback? I would also then say, ‘Oh, Rhea, you were in jail, and this is a big comeback for you.’” While Mallika’s comment didn’t go down well with Rhea, at the reunion, Karan confronted Mallika about it and pointed out how wrong her comment was.

At the Traitors Reunion, Munawar Faruqui and Mallika Sherawat once again had a confrontation. While Mallika was upset over Munawar calling her fake, she said, “Munawar Faruqui couldn’t handle my calmness in the game; I didn’t know being calm here is also a crime. I was told on the Circle of Shaq that it felt as if I was on drugs. I found that a misogynistic comment and felt bad about it. You can comment on my gameplay to doubt me in the game, but to say that I am drugged, he started accusing me of being so calm. Calling this my comeback, this game is not about a comeback…”

Just then Karan Johar added, “But Mallika, your line about Rhea’s comeback went viral… Don’t you think that particular line was perhaps below the belt?” Clarifying what she said, Mallika added, “I didn’t make it go viral; the audience did. Why do I even argue with the internet? And why was the comment below the belt?” Later, Karan Johar explained, “Struggling inside with what she has gone through, as opposed to anybody else’s struggles here, is very different. What happened with her in real life, at a very tough time, is not something anyone humane would talk about.”

Mallika later said, “I did go after that and apologize to her; it’s there in the episode, after that we even got along really well.”

Rhea Chakraborty wasn’t a part of The Traitors 2 reunion for reasons unknown; Parul Gulati was also absent after the event. Her absence came after she was accused of bribing a crew member to leak crucial secrets from the game, which helped her catch the Traitors.
