Corroboration: 1 independent outlet

A clip from the upcoming season of The Traitors shows Mallika Sherawat telling Rhea Chakraborty, 'Oh Rhea, you were in jail. This is the big comeback for you?' during an argument. The exchange has divided viewers online, with some calling Sherawat 'savage' and others calling her remark disrespectful. Chakraborty, who was arrested by the NCB in 2020 after the death of Sushant Singh Rajput, received a clean chit from the CBI earlier this year. On the show, she said she wants to be an innocent because she 'has been under doubt for a long time'. The Traitors Season 2, hosted by Karan Johar, premieres on Prime Video on August 13.
