Just days after the premiere of The Traitors India on Amazon Prime Video, tensions have sparked between contestants Apoorva Mukhija and Uorfi Javed.
In a new YouTube video posted on June 15, Apoorva Mukhija narrated an off camera exchange with Uorfi Javed, saying she was “insulted and humiliated” in front of fellow contestants. The rift began when Uorfi questioned Apoorva’s emotional breakdown during the show’s early moments. Apoorva claims that she was already vulnerable due to a fight with her mother before joining the show and being denied a promised phone call home by the makers, which left her deeply upset.
While Uorfi reportedly kept pressing her, Apoorva snapped, saying, “Not everything is about you, Uorfi..” What followed, according to Apoorva, was a verbal attack off camera, where Uorfi allegedly yelled, “Tere aukaat nahi hai mujhse baat karne ki.”
Apoorva went on to describe what happened once cameras were off, Uorfi allegedly yelled “Bhch*d Apoorva idhar aao.” Trying to stay calm, Apoorva replied, “Aaram se”, which triggered Uorfi even more.
She then shouted at Apoorva. She said, “Tumhe pata hai tum kisse baat kar rahi ho? Main tumhare level pe hoon kya? Tumhari aukaat nahi hai mujhse baat karne ki.”
While breaking down, Apoorva said, “I was still crying… mujhe bahot zyada bezzati hui thi, yaar. This was my worst fear, someone saying that I’m just an influencer and that I don’t deserve to be on the show. I already felt that way. I felt like an imposter, and I knew the audience would agree with her. I just felt so bad.”
